Your Worse Enemy

BOOK OF THE WEEK

It has been said, “We never touch people so lightly that we do not leave a trace,” (Source: Peggy Tabor Millin)

If you take this book to heart, it will improve how you treat others.

Choosing Civility

By P.M. Forni

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

Add’l Info

The above quote is generally attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, but some believe the quote was by Brooklyn high school teacher Arleen Lorrance.

Regardless, wouldn’t it be nice if all of us could say something that would later be attributed to Gandhi.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK

This week I finished the 8th and final episode of this series and thought overall it was well done. Michael Douglas’ portrayal of Franklin was excellent and to me the highpoint of the entire series.

Franklin is a biographical drama miniseries about the United States Founding Father Benjamin Franklin, based on Stacy Schiff’s 2005 book A Great Improvisation: Franklin, France, and the Birth of America.

It was released on Apple TV+ on April 12, 2024. The series depicts the eight years Benjamin Franklin spent in France to convince King Louis XVI to support the United States in the American Revolutionary War.(Source: Wikipedia)

    • Thank you for commenting Priscilla. I think the book encourages critical thinking, something it seems our educational system doesn’t place much emphasis on. Elvis and Charles, what a combination; sort of like Elvis and Nixon (The King and the President).
