CURRENT EVENTS
I have been publishing this blog once a week without fail, since 2014.
I stopped publishing it on 9/25/22
A few of you indicated that you missed these weekly postings, so
I am going to try to get back into the mode of again publishing this blog
once a week on Sundays.
BOOK OF THE WEEK
I know this book is categorized as a classic of Jewish spirituality. With that said, I think this book has a lot to say to those of you who spend much of your time simplly rushing around, or spending much of your time acquiring things, organizing your things or trying to get rid of the things you have acquired.
The Sabbath
By Abraham Joshua Heschel
MOVIE OF THE WEEK
This movie is a total fantasy, but it is very funny and at times endearing.
Ticket to Paradise (2022)
MUSIC OF THE WEEK
To be honest, I like watching this guy dance, more than the song. I wish I could be as cool.
Lonely Boy (2011)
By The Black Keys
Add’l Info About The Video
The promotional music video for “Lonely Boy” features actor, musician and part-time security guard Derrick T. Tuggle dancing and lip-syncing to the song in front of the Pepper Tree Motel in North Hollywood, a neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.
The video, shot in a single take, went viral and garnered more than 400,000 views on YouTube within 24 hours.
The video originally had a script and a cast of more than 40 people, but the group was not pleased with the results. Tuggle was originally cast as an extra. While on set, Tuggle’s improvised dancing drew the attention of director Jesse Dylan.
The video was nominated for a 2012 MTV Video Music Award for Best Rock Video. Tuggle’s performance later earned him a cameo appearance in the music video for “Happy” by Pharrell Williams.
ART OF THE WEEK
I took this photo of Multnomah Falls, outside of Portland, Oregon, back in 2007.
It looks like there has been some changes since 2007.
EXTRAORDINARY PERSON OF THE WEEK
Albert Einstein
JOKE OF THE WEEK
PHYSICAL TRAITS
I’ve had more than my share of awards this year.
Although I still miss some workouts,
showing up is the secret to many things in life.
CHARACTER TRAITS
You have to learn to say no to things that aren’t helping you get to where you want to be in life.
SOCIAL TRAITS
Sometimes, we discourage others without intending to do so. Please be particularly careful not to do this.
LEARNING TRAITS
I find the above frightening, because it is true that somethings that I treasure will be either gone or different. Very few of us really appreciate what we have.
MISCELLANEOUS
BOOK
Stay tuned

The image of the Multnomah Falls with the elephant is hilarious! So true about how things will be different in one year, but (for me), I’m comforted that God will always be the same.

It is a delight to hear from you Priscilla and as always thank you so much for commenting. Although not absolutely certain, I’m pretty sure that elephant is at Multnomah Falls. Existence can present its challenges so hopefully everyone can find some comfort, as you have found some. I have missed your weekly comments.

Thank you and welcome back. Things not being the are so true. I had a dose of that this year and it made me appreciate where I am in life. Great to see you again.

Thank you very much for the welcome back, it is very encouraging. I believe there is usually something to appreciate; although, in some instances one may have to look a bit more intensely than usual (smile).

Bill, I’m so glad you’re back. It felt like something was missing from my Sundays. A little humor, a little music, a little movie recommendation, a little wisdom. They all make my day better.
