Zoo

Sometimes you hear people say life is a zoo, when referring to a situation of confusion and/or disorder

If you are finding yourself in a situation of confusion and/or disorder, perhaps you may consider spending a relaxing day at the zoo.

Today, most animals aren’t kept in horrible cages like in the past, but are placed in very nice environments.

BOOK OF THE WEEK

This book is 432 pages. Upon hearing that, some of you should scroll down to the next topic. However, if you are up to the task of reading this book, and like Roman history; you will find this an exciting and well written book.

Augustus

By Anthony Everitt

As Rome’s first emperor, Augustus transformed the unruly Republic into the greatest empire the world had ever seen. His consolidation and expansion of Roman power two thousand years ago laid the foundations, for all of Western history to follow. 

Augustus began his career as an inexperienced teenager plucked from his studies to take center stage in the drama of Roman politics, assisted by two school friends, Agrippa and Maecenas. Augustus’s rise to power began with the assassination of his great-uncle and adoptive father, Julius Caesar, and culminated in the titanic duel with Mark Antony and Cleopatra.

Everitt has taken some of the household names of history–Caesar, Brutus, Cassius, Antony, Cleopatra–whom few know the full truth about, and turned them into flesh-and-blood human beings. (Source: Amazon)

ART  OF THE WEEK

I saw this play last Sunday (Oct. 8, 2023) at Meadow Brook Theater in Rochester, Michigan, USA. It was a comedy, which I did not realize when I went there; but, I soon caught on.

I realize this play is not being performed near many of you. I am just mentioning so that you may consider going to a live theater performance near you sometime.

EXTRAORDINARY BUSINESS OF THE WEEK

In December 2019 I purchased four new tires from Belle Tire. This month, one of those four year old tires had a leak. To my surprise and delight, Belle Tire repaired the tire at no charge.
