“ You will come to a place where streets are not marked. Some windows are lighted. But, mostly they’re darked. A place you could sprain both your elbow and chin! Do you dare stay out? Do you dare to go in? How much can you lose? How much can you win? And IF you go in, should you turn left or right…or right-and-three quarters? Or, maybe, not quite? Or go around back and sneak in from behind? Simple it’s not, I’m afraid you will find, for a mind maker-upper to make up his mind.

August 13th: Celebrate your right to be left-handed. Happy Left-Handers Day! LINK→
All year round, we fit in with home and office layouts designed for right-handers’ comfort, put up with doors, cookers, sinks, computer mice, keyboards and desks that are efficient for right-handers to work at, and hundreds of times every day we contort ourselves using back-to-front tools and gadgets that make us look clumsy and awkward in our efforts to make them work…But NOT TODAY!

There’s this piece of music used in the film The Man Who Fell To Earth and also in the John Cassavetes film Tempest (during a scene where a very youthful Molly Ringwald is swimming underwater). I’ve always loved this music…a dreamy, languorous violin piece called Wind Words from the long out-of-print album Freedom Is Frightening by Stomu Yamashta. It took years for me to discover who the composer was and to actually obtain a copy. You can get it at Craig Moerer’s excellent online store Records By Mail. As one Amazon reviewer put it, the piece is “paralyzingly gorgeous.” I agree completely!
I just recently revamped the Notables site, a webpage I originally set up and have been running since 1998 for my mother’s Lowrey organ club. This is the ninth site redesign since then, this time using the CrystalX theme, albeit tweaked, and the latest version of WordPress. LINK→
