BOOK OF THE WEEK

I recently read this book again and I still don’t really understand what it is saying. However, I believe if I ever do understand it, I would be wise. Unfortunately, for me, that is highly unlikely.

I urge you to give this very short book a try.

The Prophet (1923)

By Kahlil Gibran

The Prophet is a collection of poetic essays that are philosophical, spiritual, and, above all, inspirational. Gibran’s musings are divided into twenty-eight chapters covering such sprawling topics as love, marriage, children, giving, eating and drinking, work, joy and sorrow, housing, clothes, buying and selling, crime and punishment, laws, freedom, reason and passion, pain, self-knowledge, teaching, friendship, talking, time, good and evil, prayer, pleasure, beauty, religion, and death.

MOVIE OF THE WEEK

I didn’t find it funny enough to hold my interest, so I stopped it half-way through the film.

You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah (2023)

MUSIC OF THE WEEK

With no disrespect to the Edsels, who came out with this song in 1958, I decided to play the Sha Na Na version. I have seen She Na Na perform many times and always enjoyed their show.

Rama Lama Ding Dong

By Sha Na Na (1973)

CURRENT EVENTS AWPC World Championships I’ll be in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA; next week for this contest. Don’t let the “A” in AWPC fool you. Yes, the “A” stands for amateur. However the only difference between AWPC and WPC is that the AWPC is drug free and enforced by randomly testing 10% of all participants […]

CURRENT EVENTS Nutty Postings BOOK OF THE WEEK I have seen all three movie versions of this book. All three differ from one another, so I finally decided to read the book. It was most enjoyable reading. I can understand why it is said that Agatha Christie’s writings are only outsold by the Bible and […]
