an article

Vanity Fair magazine www.vanityfair.com has an article in its July 2008 issue titled HAS BILL CLINTON LOST HIS MOJO – OR HIS MIND by Todd S. Purdum. This kind of article, depending on how you feel about our political system and the people who have tasted the power connected with it, is always – actually, [...]

narayama bushiko

( A Movie )

Have you seen the 1983 movie Narayama Bushiko directed by Shohei Imamura? Quite a few years ago I saw it in NYC at the Carnegie Theater on 57th Street (no longer standing), and was completely unprepared for that kind of story. To say that it left a strong impression on me is an understatement. At [...]

randy pausch

( On Death and The Heart and Trust )

A human being who knew how to live and die passed away on Friday, 25 July. What can one say about a man who was told he had a short time to live, and took whatever time he had, and, not only gave it to his wife and three children, but gave it to all [...]

Viv

On 24 July 2007 my cousin Viv died – one year ago tomorrow. Family and friends think of her often. Never did I feel she would be the first of our generation to die. Maybe that sounds strange because who ever really knows. It’s just that she certainly wouldn’t have come to mind. We talk [...]

tai chi

Have you seen anyone practicing Tai Chi in a park? I did this week at Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia. I stood to the side trying to not stare. Stare I did, however, as his movements were easy to watch – hands seemed to float delicately, but powerfully, and his torso and legs moved with [...]

vegetables and fruits – organic or not

( Food and Shopping )

This was on aol’s site, July 2008: The Environmental Working Group doesn’t necessarily advocate organic, but does suggest that consumers be aware of the following non-organic foods having the highest pesticide levels. They are: peaches, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, peas, imported grapes, spinach, lettuce, and potatoes.

writers, words, and beautiful sentences found in books

The English language is fraught with delightful words and ways of stringing a sentence together. It’s a great language – a full and fun language – and can be a neat hobby. In a thick Clairefontaine notebook I like writing words, and the way they were used in a particular sentence in a book. [...]

His last book is “now a finalist for the best new [...]
