“In this noble and Ancient place, once palace to our count-kings, I offer you all I have brought together in a life ruled by the passion of Art” – Frederic Marés Museums. I love to visit museums. There is such excitement in seeing history, and what some other person has viewed as interesting. My parentsContinue reading “Let’s exhibit my love for museums”

For a splash of excitement…
In my last post, I thanked my wife for letting me continue on adventures, even though I “shouldn’t be chasing waterfalls” – that is, doing dangerous things. I wanted to sneak in the reference of older songs…”Waterfalls”. Some might remember the group TLC releasing their song “Waterfalls” in 1995. It was #1 for seven weekContinue reading “For a splash of excitement…”
“…once in a blue moon”
On a March 13th Thursday, I was born. 67 years later (yesterday), on another March 13th Thursday, I celebrated my Birthday. Many of my High School friends wished me a great day on Facebook. A lot of my College Friends wished me a Happy Birthday with text messages (along with a friend from Japan). SeveralContinue reading ““…once in a blue moon””
“What type?”
I was looking through shelves for a subject to write about, and found the book “Exotic Alphabets and Ornament” by William Rowe, published in 1974. This work has a variety of Art Deco style alphabets and borders designed by the author. There are some unusual alphabet designs worth reading about. It would be tough toContinue reading ““What type?””
“The power of suasion”
I had a wonderful time in college, even with those occasional eight A.M. classes. I achieved a Journalism degree, along with Advertising emphases. The time spent in college enabled me to become a better critical thinker, and I believe, a better writer. It did not help me to become a better drinker, though I mustContinue reading ““The power of suasion””
2025 Resolutions
Making my way into the new year, I am sitting in the library planning what to accomplish for 2025. While I achieved a great goal of writing about an event, using books from the library, for every day of 2024, I want to continue writing about books, just not the same way as last year.Continue reading “2025 Resolutions”
December 31 “It’s Electrifying”
December 31st, 1876, Thomas Edison first demonstrated the incandescent light in Menlo Park, New Jersey. Earlier that year, Edison had just built a state of the art new laboratory, and home in Menlo Park, to help isolate himself from the crowds. I have a very uncommon Edison book, rather dificult to find today. This bookContinue reading “December 31 “It’s Electrifying””
December 24 “‘Twas the night before Christmas”
December 24th is Christmas Eve – the night before Christmas. I am just going to go through a few of the many books on the subject. First, I have a large and small copy of Clement C. Moore’s “The Night Before Christmas”. F.A.O. Schwarz printed the large book of Moore’s poem, with the original illustrationsContinue reading “December 24 “‘Twas the night before Christmas””
November 15 “read, write, visit, and support”
November 15th is I Love to Write Day. I do love to write. I may not be very good, but I force myself to work a little, every day. Some days are easier than others, but I try. Today, everyone should write a poem, a story, a letter, or a post card. Even a textContinue reading “November 15 “read, write, visit, and support””

Their mission is to promote the optimal early development, learning and health of children by supporting and engaging their families and caregivers. This program can thenContinue reading “November 8 “Parents are teachers””
