"Joni Mitchell said this  about writing the song BIG YELLOW TAXI  to journalist Alan McDougall in the early 1970s: ' I wrote 'Big Yellow Taxi'  on my first trip to Hawaii.  I took a taxi to the hotel and when I woke up the next morning,  I threw back the curtains and saw these beautiful green mountains in the distance.  Then, I looked down and there was a parking lot  as far as the eye could see, and it broke my heart...  this blight on paradise.  That's when I sat down and wrote the song '  " courtesy WIKIPEDIA  here

I'm a little bird

 James Matthew Barrie

" Life is one big road
 with lots of signs. 

So when you riding through the ruts, 

don't complicate your mind. 

Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy.

 Don't bury your thoughts,

 put your vision to reality. 

Wake Up and Live! "

Sounds like the plot

of a bad movie:

In an arena

of pampered millionaires,

spoiled "student athletes"

who never earn a degree,

 of

"Kings" "Legends" and

"Franchise Players"

consider THIS fellow:

An Asian,
the child of immigrants

in a sport with 

BUT ONE

(retired) Asian hero,

He played his college ball

at Harvard

(NOT a recruiting ground

for professional athletes).

Jeremy recently slept 

on his graduate-student
brother's 

sofa.

He was cut

from two NBA teams.

Then the New York Knicks

came calling.

Result:

L I N S A N I T Y !

Jeremy Lin is the first American-born player

 of Taiwanese or Chinese descent

 to play in the NBA.

He has the 

MOST POINTS

in his first five games

of ANY PLAYER

in NBA

HISTORY!

 136 points

 in his first five

career starts.

The ancient Greeks,

when the weren't busy

inventing democracy &

Philosophy,

appreciated sport.

Excellence of the Mind,

of the Spirit,

of the Body

was their paramount value.

They had a word for it:

Arete`excellence.

Perhaps you are not

"into" sport.

But magic like this

transcends category.

It is uplifting to see.

(You may see Lin perform below)

When you make a meal

you use tools

and ingredients

in your kitchen.

Then

you wipe the table,

and put stuff away.

When you work on your 

computer,

perhaps baking a

blog post,

 visiting bloggy friends,

checking your email,

and finding a recipe for dinner,

there is disorder afterwards

on your hard drive-

things that need to be put away,

and "crumbs"

to wipe up.

Inevitably, registry errors,

file fragments,

cookies,

and other debris 

collect on your hard drive.

and they DO

 slow you down!

 I download updates

to my anti-virus / malware,

programs, and run scans 

daily.

But I do something else

to clean up all those 'crumbs'

and do preventive maintenance

every day.

Meet my friend

 GLARY.

"One Click Maintenance"

This is a free utility for personal use.

If you purchase the "Pro" version

(as I eventually did)

there are even more tools

to optimize, and safeguard

your computer.

But the is NO pressure to buy-

And this was an unsolicited

and unpaid recommendation.

I happily 

used GLARY Free for YEARS

and just wanted my friends

to know about it.

You can download it

Adelle's Resonance

 A  L  O  H  A !

Whither  the voyage?

 “What the caterpillar calls 

the end of the world, 

the master calls

a butterfly.”

" A kind soul knows:

impoliteness

is just preoccupied

with distraction. "

 Oh Click on THIS one!

in thine own mind

My thoughts 

on what is SO great

about Adele's  

Rolling in the Deep

It's powerful, controlled and has a rhythm

that matches the inexorable acceleration

many of us feel in these precarious times.

Is that unique to our time?

Or has every generation 

felt the miles roll by like this?

Stop the world!

I Want to get off!

Yet, 

this triumph of art, 

of voice, of identity

and control

heartens us, strengthens us,

reconnecting us to our own

power. 

In Rolling, 

we seem to ride the whirlwind

in a way that does our generation proud.

We've been knocked about,

but we are still singing, 

still STRONG!

No one knows

where the maelstrom will ultimately take us,

but we go in style! 

Throw in the human drama 

of Adelle losing, then regaining

her voice,

and you have a complete emblem

of regeneration,

of hope itself.

Brava!

(see the video below :-)
