We All Have Ups and Downs

I think we need the downs

to better appreciate the ups

and to build our character.

Book of the Week

Regardless of what your positions and beliefs are, you will likely find some of the author’s assessments and predictions disturbing.  

I enjoyed reading the early part of the book about pre-history, but as time went on the author and I had to part ways.  

Still, the book has many important things to say, that a well informed person should be aware of, even if they disagree with the author.

Sapiens

By Yuval Noah Harari

Movie of the Week

The ‘Burbs is an eight episode comedy series created for Peacock.

If you watch a couple of episodes, I think you will be hooked and end up watching all eight episodes.

perhaps most of us could try a little harder,

to reach out goals.
