Other Fools

A  L  O  H  A !

" Others were fools in the morning
Or in the evening 

or on Saturdays 

" Or odd days 

like Friday the Thirteenth
But me --

 I was a fool

 every day in the week

" And when asleep 

I was the sleeping fool.
(So I dreamed.) "

Carl Sandburg,

  Dreaming Fool 

 " It is well to remember

 that the entire universe,

 with one trifling exception,

 is composed of 

others. "

        John Andrew Holmes

A Wonderful Thing

A  L  O  H  A!

" The animals already

 live in harmony. 

They are waiting for us

 to join them there. "

Julie Draper

"  A pessimist is a man 

who thinks all women 

are bad. . .

 An optimist is a man 

who hopes they are. "

Chauncey Mitchell Depew 

" There's no such thing as nerves

 when you're playing games. "

 Shaquille O'Neal 

 =^..^=

This week

the European Union

Banned

cosmetics with

ingredients tested 

on animals.

This is as historic

in my opinion

as any Civil Rights law.

How we treat

the helpless

expresses

what we are made of.

The rest of us

need to push for this

in our own

nations.

Congratulations, Europeans!

Grandma's Ha

A  L  O  H  A !

Always worth another look: 

My Bike. Built for me. Inspired.

Inspiring.

Lives forever in me.

Hawaiian Feathered Cape  LINK

Decades become like potato chips,

piquant, smaller, and more precious

at the bottom of the bag.

 But don't make ostentatious,

crumple-y mournful noise,

others are still enjoying the show!


" There are only about 1,000 people
 of pure Hawaiian descent left 
in the world. "

Grandma's  Hands

Grandma's laugh,

that propulsive, authentic exclamation

is coming out of my mouth these days.

Her hand, holds my husband's

and he knows it, knew her,

 says:

"Look at Claire's hand

typing."

That was a great song.

When we were little,

the 1930's, her glory days,

were black & white History,

Rudy Vallee, rudimentary "automobiles."

Get with the space age, grandma!

I do the quiet math, discovering that

yes, she was younger then. . . . 

than I am today (there I said it).

Decades become like potato chips,

piquant, smaller, and more precious

at the bottom of the bag.

But don't make ostentatious,

crumple-y mournful noise,

others are still enjoying the show! 

"Get with the tech world, Mom,"

our kids say.

But they don't have to say it.

We've already made Blogging,

and the iphone uncool

by liking them so much. 

Fashions shift to exclude us,

as they should,

don't you GET that?

We had the same imperative.

Healthy life-stage stuff.

And unlike grandma

we act laid back and cool

in the face of the suddenly

incomprehensible.

We cruise with it.

They'll have grandma's,

grandpa's hands, laughs,

jokes,

"far" in their future.

We quietly know what they don't;

It's a faster, longer, twistier ride

than anyone could ever know.

So laugh, beloved grandma in my soul

who is at this time becoming me.

Join me everyone, every creature;

Frolic hours, days, seasons,

one of them is a fraud.

But ain't this moment here

GRAND!

Strike up the band.

Now some tips about tabs.  

How many do YOU have open right now?

 If you hit the "Cntrl" key 

(bottom left corner of your keyboard)

and the letter "T"    

a new tab will open!

Accidentally closed the wrong tab in your browser? Want it back?

Just hit "CTRL"  and the "SHIFT "  and  "T"  to instantly re-open that tab!

 If you repeat that action,  it’ll open the tab you closed before that, and so on.

You can also just right-click on another tab and use the “Reopen closed tab” option!

This should work in all three major browsers — Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.
