Pretty flowers
Just for today…
I will be agreeable,
will look as well as I can,
dress becomingly, talk low,
act courteously, criticise not one bit,
not find fault with anything
and not try to improve or regulate
anybody except myself…

Winning again…
#4 son [seen here streaking across the finish line in first place] not only won the 100 yard hurdles but also the discus throw with a toss of 110′ feet. Not bad for middle school!
This give me the honor of feeding the #1 discus throwers in 7-8 and 9-10 grades in Kewaunee County… :-D

Radiohead’s “Creep,” Sung by Prince and Carrie…
Going viral now… Warning: NSFW!
Manolakos’s version does what covers ought to do; it picks up a song that has sunken into throwback territory, dusts it off, and treats it like a classic.

The President, the Pope, And the Prime Minister…
I recently watched Meryl Streep’s film “The Iron Lady” — wasn’t aware she had one the Oscar for her portrayal of Maggie Thatcher but I can see why she did…
— and I was glad I had this book on my shelf to re-read…
“The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister” is a sweeping, dramatic account of how three great figures changed the course of history, as told by John O’Sullivan, former editor of “National Review” and the “Times of London”, who knew all three and has conducted exclusive interviews that shed extraordinary new light on these giants of the twentieth century.
I recommend both the book and the movie for an interesting perspective on conservatism and character in the 80’s, and no, that’s not an oxymoron…
