"I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through
“Almost all words do have color and nothing is more pleasant than to utter a pink word and see someone's eyes light up and know it is a pink word for him or her too”

"All theory, dear friend, is gray,
but the golden tree of life springs ever green."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Do you smell it? Have you guessed?
MMMMM! New computer smell!
After months of investigation and self doubt, I have obtained another DELL laptop. Dual core processor, Windows 7, and yummy ice blue case.
I'm stylin` baby!
Now I won't need that fail safe post I had all set to post if I couldn't get back on line for a while. If all goes as planned, you should find it just below this post.
But before you scroll there, please check out today's video of old friend Soupy Sales who died yesterday. In the black & white world of my childhood Soupy and his happy hipster irreverence opened a window on a world of joyous nonconformity that delighted me.
His TV world complemented the art of Dali and Magritte. Looking at his few videos available at You Tube made me laugh out loud again, and to remember early joys.
I hope it makes you laugh too.
Thank you kindly for your visit today.
And now, here's Mr. Sales:

I have always wanted to see a banyan tree Cloudia - I know they are common in some parts of the world but, of course, we don't have them here.
Have a lovely weekend friend.
I love your "green" image.. so beautiful. A fine tribute to funny man Soupy Sales. You might also like Jane's blog post about him.. http://gastonstudio.blogspot.com/2009/10/soupys-gone.html
Love the tree! Glad you got a new computer. I haven't seen Soupy Sales in years. I don't remember what game show I used to watch him on-- long-long ago. Aloha new computer girl.

beautiful green..
I've always loved Soupy! Don't think I ever laughed harder at anyone than I did him!
WOW that IS pink!
Good to hear you have a new 'puter. :)
Congratulations on the new computer! I had mine "tuned up", and now I am no longer the administrator. I can't find the sound button to unmute any more. And the issues I was complaining about are still NOT fixed. Maybe I need a new computer, too.
Congrats on the new computer & best of luck. I was sad to hear that Soupy had passed away. Gads, he was a nut job!
Gotta love that quote from thoreau. sorry to hear about Soupy.
May he rest in peace, he was a funny man
And while I personally do not like Dell computers I hope you have a fabulous long relationship with your new baby!
I look forward to that new laptop good life.
Yup, I'm lovin` Windows7 (so far :) and my last Dell lasted for over 10 years, so I'm stoked by this glittering, modern machine.
Soupy makes me laugh still! I'll be sure to check out that other post, thanks.
Banyans were brought to Hawaii, in fact we have a wonderful botanical tradition here. Douglas (the fir guy) disappeared on the Big Island (Hawaii). search this blog for "Foster Botanical Garden" for more.
I luv you guys. This IS jolly!
aloha- ta!
Aloha pretty lady! Your blog makes me smile, and I need to get more time to get over here more often! You are a beautiful soul.
Soupy was a lot of fun. May he rest in peace.
Best wishes with the new computer and the Windows 7. You're on the cutting edge, now! Good for you. I am grateful you have the equipment to keep us all in Hawaii.
Good old Soupy Sales! He will be missed. And congrats on your new computer!
Thanks for coming to the party!
Great tribute to Soupy Cloudia; thanks also for visiting my blog and seeing my own. He was really a "wild and crazy guy."
Oh I love Soupy! I'm oike you, he still make me laugh out loud. I used to come home at lunch time and watch him. I believe he was local here in Detroit in the beginning. It has probably been almost 50 years since I saw that opening with him messing with the theater marquee. It just made me feel really good to see ol' Soup again!!!
When I saw your banyan tree, I had to ponder whether that was the type of tree in "The Little Prince", but that was a baobab.
Baobab love to you dears as well!
These pictures on your blog are awesome!
