BOOK OF THE WEEK

This is a long book, but if you are as interested in the life of Alexander the Great as I am, then this book is a good choice.

Alexander the Great (2019)

By Anthony Everitt

“Reads as easily as a novel . . . Nearly unparalleled insight into the period and the man make this a story for everyone.” (Source: Kirkus Reviews)

MOVIE OF THE WEEK

Parks and Recreation

MUSIC OF THE WEEK

August 16, 1977

ART OF THE WEEK

Art From Peru’s Man-Made Floating Islands In Lake Titicaca

I bought this hanging decoration in 2017 from one of the Indians on the floating islands.

They, like everyone I saw in Peru; absolutely refused to accept handouts. They want you to buy something from them, not give them something for nothing.

This is a character trait that many in the USA need to adopt. And for all you folks with Big Hearts, please consider giving people a hand and not a handout. 

EXTRAORDINARY PERSON  OF THE WEEK

Olivia Newton-John

Dame Olivia Newton-John (26 September 1948 – 8 August 2022) was a British-Australian singer, actress and activist. She was a four-time Grammy Award winner whose music career included five number one hits and another ten Top Ten hits and 14 of her albums (including two Platinum and four 2× Platinum) have been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

With global sales of more than 100 million records, Newton-John is one of the best-selling music artists from the second half of the 20th century to the present. (Source: Wikipedia)

Typical Cat

But I love them anyway.

PHYSICAL TRAITS

Even a little exercise, pays huge dividends.

If you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything.

CHARACTER TRAITS

Every day is another chance to be a better person.

SOCIAL TRAITS

As long as someone isn’t hurting others,

perhaps we should allow them to live as they wish.
