MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Top Gun: Maverick
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
Dancing With Myself (March 1981)
By Billy Idol
Song’s Background
The inspiration for the song occurred during a tour of Japan by the English post-punk band Generation X in mid-1979, when its vocalist/frontman Billy Idol and its bassist Tony James were struck by the sight of the young crowd in a Tokyo discotheque dancing with their own reflections in walled mirrors rather than with one another.
ART OF THE WEEK
Here is a film that some friends and I made back in 2007. Oh my gosh, those 15 years have gone by so fast.

EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK
Queen Elizabeth II
Significant events have included Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953 and the celebrations of her Silver, Golden, Diamond and Platinum jubilees in 1977, 2002, 2012, and 2022 respectively.
Elizabeth is the longest-lived and longest-reigning British monarch, the longest-serving female head of state, the oldest living and longest-reigning current monarch, and the oldest and longest-serving incumbent head of state.
Support for the monarchy in the United Kingdom has been and remains consistently high, as does her personal popularity. (Source: Wikipedia)
JOKE OF THE WEEK
PHYSICAL TRAITS
CHARACTER TRAITS
I know a lot of kind and well-meaning folks would add some things to the above list, but the reality is that that someone had to work hard to provide those benefits you are adding to this list.
However, I would add the Preamble to the Decoration of Independence, which boldly states the “self-evident” rights of every individual as “Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”
SOCIAL TRAITS
Make Someone Happy
LEARNING TRAITS

Hahaha, the “take your child to work day” image! Your Navy meme made me think of my young friend in the AF who waitressed her way through college, militaried her way through med school, and yesterday earned her wings. I’m so proud of Captain Shannon McCown.

Yes, I particularly liked that “take your child to work” image, especially as I used to manage that yearly event. Congratulations to Captain Shannon McCown. As always Priscilla, thank you for commenting.

Top Gun was great, enjoyed it on the Epic Screen. My intern at work decided to see the original with his family (they never saw it) in order to see the new released based on our discussion at work

Thank you for commenting and the new Top Gun makes a bit more sense if one saw the first one.

Thanks Michele for commenting. A run or a walk is actually a nice way to start one’s day.

True. Both are a nice way to start the day. When I ran in the morning, I felt like, no matter what, the rest of my day would be easier!

Yes, both a great way to start the day. Three or four days a week I start my day at the gym. The running is getting a bit rough on the old body, but I may have a few miles remaining in me. Thanks Michele for commenting.
