O Carnegie Deli Adieu

O Carnegie Deli, Adieu O Carnegie Deli, Adieu, we'll see no more of you. In year when so many noted others have left New Yorkers will soon become pastrami bereft. They'll no longer be able to fill their belly with huge piles of it from the Carnegie Deli piled incredibly high within fragrant seeded rye. So accompany me and shed a big tear for the heart attack food of yesteryear. HzL 12/30/16 Carnegie Deli, closing Saturday, serves its last sandwiches in NYC ... www.amny.com/.../carnegie-deli-closing-saturday-serves-its-last-sandwic... 2 days ago - New Yorkers and tourists are lining up to say goodbye to the Carnegie Deli. Marian Harper is the owner of the iconic deli. She inherited the restaurant from her father. David Verdini/Courtesy of Carnegie Deli "They know to come here hungry," says Harper. "They love the big portions. My father called it gargantuan sandwiches, he used that name." The deli's oversized portions and over-the-top attitude made it an essential New York experience. "The Carnegie is really the New York Jewish deli," says Ted Merwin, professor of history at Dickinson College, and the author of Pastrami on Rye: An Overstuffed History of the Jewish Deli. "It's a symbol for what I call the ethos of excess." Merwin says restaurants like the Carnegie Deli and its longtime rival, the Stage Deli, played an important role in American Jewish culture. http://media.npr.org/assets/img/2016/12/23/13_09_27-verdini_carnegie-deli-182-2--55_custom-013a37fd2cf43f277df8031cf2f91025281179b5-s1200-c85.jpg

More and More it's hard to ignore the increasing cost of rent to be a resident. Will things get better with a billionaire as president?

An Irish expat's Xmas

Our four-year-old son is just mad for Santa and Christmas, but he’s growing up in New Zealand thinking that Christmas means summer holidays, going to the beach and cricket in the back yard. He doesn’t understand why Santa has such a big coat, or why Christmas stories invariably include snow. The Kiwis have adapted many of the Christmas fairy tales and songs to suit their climate. We’ve a book called Kiwi Jingle Bells that starts “Dashing to the bay, in a Kombi camper van, Christmas at the beach, the family master plan . . .” There is a lot to be said for a summer Christmas, though. I’ve established a tradition with the in-laws where we have an annual Christmas cocktail. It’s pretty enjoyable sitting in the hot afternoon sun drinking a mojito, with festive tunes playing and the tree twinkling in the corner. Who wouldn’t rather that to the rain lashing at the window? But the tree doesn’t quite twinkle enough when the sun doesn’t go down until 9pm. Last year I had some icicle lights around the patio, but my son never saw them because he’s in bed asleep long before they get turned on. The lights are one of the things I miss most. When I see photos of Grafton Street, I get serious pangs of homesickness. And don’t mention the pubs, and the pints, and ‘packages o’ Tayto’. But we’ve our own family here now, and we’re making our own traditions and memories as our son grows up living a fairly idyllic Kiwi life.

Oh if there could be less hateful invective and we could have a sense of perspective: By an exceedingly rare combination of proper temperatures, chemicals and gases life has arisen on earth and given rise to its proliferation over eons in often overwhelming masses. To study only some of its intricacies has required the diligence of brilliant PhD's working over several centuries. Yet trying to live in harmony here is all that is really asked of us: Without love, Life in our crowded-- yet still lonely-- sphere has become increasingly dangerous and, as we all fear, could even disappear. MORAL: Reconciling conflicts, with mutual respect and fun is easily said, but much harder done.

OUR NEW FIRST FAMILY

Trump's 'first family' approach to governing: How unusual? American history is full of first sons and daughters who did just about everything. But Donald Trump's situation appears unique. (Christian Science Monitor). OUR NEW FIRST FAMILY Human beings are such a complicated lot it's hard to know just what you've got after all those genes divide then recombine-- Sometimes it's horrible, others it's fine. John Quincy Adams is a case in point-- he was admirable yet his brothers stunk up the joint. It will certainly be interesting to see what will happen to our new first family-- or, to be correct, better make that" elect". Assuming we'll have a future, as well as alsoTV,think of all the shows they're going to see-- some offspring may be admired while others perhaps "fired" to reviews that could be either bad or gushin', depending on whether they're in English, Chinese or Russian?

Alas! Our dried voices, when We whisper together Are quiet and meaningless As wind in dry grass Or rats' feet over broken glass In our dry cellar Shape without form, shade without colour, Paralysed force, gesture without motion; Those who have crossed With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom Remember us—if at all—not as lost Violent souls, but only As the hollow men The stuffed men. II Eyes I dare not meet in dreams In death's dream kingdom These do not appear: There, the eyes are Sunlight on a broken column There, is a tree swinging And voices are In the wind's singing More distant and more solemn Than a fading star. Let me be no nearer In death's dream kingdom Let me also wear Such deliberate disguises Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves In a field Behaving as the wind behaves No nearer— Not that final meeting In the twilight kingdom III This is the dead land This is cactus land Here the stone images Are raised, here they receive The supplication of a dead man's hand Under the twinkle of a fading star. Is it like this In death's other kingdom Waking alone At the hour when we are Trembling with tenderness Lips that would kiss Form prayers to broken stone. IV The eyes are not here There are no eyes here In this valley of dying stars In this hollow valley This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms In this last of meeting places We grope together And avoid speech Gathered on this beach of the tumid river Sightless, unless The eyes reappear As the perpetual star Multifoliate rose Of death's twilight kingdom The hope only Of empty men.

The Big Sleep

The Big Sleep According to The Daily Mail, ex-Playboy Hugh is very frail. He's no longer, in their tale, feeling strong enough for chasing quail. So, a year older than me, at half past ninety he now thinks it heaven to be in bed by seven with only an old movie for company. But, he said indignantly, "I'm still not dead," unlike Bacall and Bogie who'll now sleep forever instead, though even they can still return electrically. as we watch their love burn magically.

At least that's the way it looks up here, though it could be different down in their biosphere-- perhaps they too may suffer derision if they simply use their right to fission and are never considered more than halfway great unless they somehow manage to conjugate-- but I'll leave it to those who know much more about Lilliputia to accurately determine such minutia HzL 12/8/16

In the good old days you'd have been a fool to ridicule those who rule for they were not likely to forget and had many ways to make you regret. Even today, China's Xi JinPing might not find such hilarity amusing, Nor would North Korea's Kim Jong Un also consider it to be that much fun. We are fortunate to live in a society that indulges us such impropriety but as we satirize we should also realize that too often subtleties may get lost in translation* so perhaps we should be gentler to protect our nation and give the new guy some benefit of the doubt before clamoring to throw him out as some kind of joker or ridiculous slob, because being President is quite a hard job. hzl 12/4/16 North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un bans sarcasm | Fox News www.foxnews.com/.../north-korean-dictator-kim-jong-un-bans-sarcasm.ht...

A long distance call to Pakistan

Hello, is that you, Nawaz old boy? Just talking to you fills me with joy: In a remarkably candid readout of the phone call, the Pakistani government said Mr. Trump had told Mr. Sharif that he was “a terrific guy” who made him feel as though “I’m talking to a person I have known for long.” He described Pakistanis as “one of the most intelligent people.” When Mr. Sharif invited him to visit Pakistan, the president-elect replied that he would “love to come to a fantastic country, fantastic place of fantastic people.” The Trump transition office, in its more circumspect readout, said only that Mr. Trump and Mr. Sharif “had a productive conversation about how the United States and Pakistan will have a strong working relationship in the future.” It did not confirm or deny the Pakistani account of Mr. Trump’s remarks. The breezy tone of the readout left diplomats in Washington slack-jawed, with some initially assuming it was a parody. In particular, they zeroed in on Mr. Trump’s offer to Mr. Sharif “to play any role you want me to play to address and find solutions to the country’s problems.”* Fantastic, really fantastic and terrif-- That's how I feel about Mr. Nawaz Sharif. And I know that he's very smart too, for he's chosen not to be Christian or Jew, since in his faith and life it's considered on the up and up to have more than one wife -- all without a prenup. Of course, he still has buy them nice dresses as well as do whatever else impresses-- Did you hear that Ivanka? Now, please get me a Sanka. HzL 12/2/16

High Speed Trading and the Marx Brothers

http://www.doctormacro.com/Images/Marx%20Brothers/Marx%20Brothers%20(A%20Day%20at%20the%20Races)_01.jpg My knowledge of the stock market is limited to the advice from Chico Marx who ( I thought) said: "only buy a stock if it goes up, if it doesn't go up, don't buy it" But somewhere in the dim past, rather than it is now with high speed trading, one second was not considered a long-term investment.. Furthermore, when I looked up Chico Marx on the Internet it seems that he gambled all his money away so that the wisest investor in that family was probably Harpo who never said a word.

Even a simple day of gratitude for what life has us provided has a history of varying dates and attitude until more (or less) decided. Some time after the harvest the day is chosen, but why not in the Spring after surviving being frozen? And why a Thursday when any other day as well could serve? Well, whether it was ancestral wisdom or simply lack of nerve, It's still a holiday I appreciate as I eat whatever's on my plate, for I could feel similarly as devout with just a good Chinese takeout. HzL 11/24/26 United Kingdom Harvest Festival flowers at a church in Shrewsbury, England The Harvest Festival of Thanksgiving does not have an official date in the United Kingdom, however it is traditionally held on or near the Sunday of the harvest moon that occurs closest to the autumnal equinox. Harvest Thanksgiving in Britain pre-dates Christianity when the Saxons would offer the first sheaf of corn to fertility gods. When the harvest was finally collected, communities would come together for a harvest supper.[45] When Christianity arrived in Britain many traditions remained, and today Harvest Thanksgiving is marked by churches and schools in late September/early October (same as Canada) with singing, praying and decorating with baskets of food and fruit to celebrate a successful harvest and to give thanks.[46] Collections of food are usually held which are then given to local charities which help the homeless and those in need, from: Thanksgiving - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thanksgiving Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated in Canada and the United States.

Marilyn Monroe Auction

The auction, at Julien’s in Los Angeles, includes innumerable dresses such as the one the star wore to sing “Happy Birthday, Mr President” to John F Kennedy (estimated at $3.3m) and a great deal of jewellery, such as a diamond cocktail watch ($100,000).

The item, for which bidding begins at $50,000, is one of many that have been cast over the years, owing to oxidation of the bronze caused by it being touched by visiting fans. This particular one dates from the early 1990s and bears simply her name and dates. A note on the back reads: “Make Two Patterns for Marge’’, referring to the lettering supervisor. A similar item fetched $212,500 at Julien’s last year.

Restless Leonard Cohen, Rest in Peace, נוח על משכבך בשלום

Restless Leonard Cohen, Rest in Peace, נוח על משכבך בשלום Among the many tributes and obituary notices for Leonard Cohen there is this marvelously well written and moving New Yorker piece by David Remnick, published on October 17. Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker It is quite long but very well worth reading--there are a few laughs but keep a kleenex handy. It was written when death was looming as noted in the obituary paragraph. http://www.newyorker.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/161017_r28842_rd-903x1200-1476123800.jpg Leonard Cohen, who died this week, was one of our greatest songwriters—Bob Dylan told Cohen that he considered him his nearest rival—and is a figure of almost cult-like devotion among fans. He began as a poet in the vein of Allen Ginsberg and Frank O’Hara before releasing his first album, in 1967. Suffering from terrible anxiety, not much tamed by alcohol and drugs, he conquered his fear of performing onstage after decades of Zen practice. David Remnick sat down with Cohen this summer at his home in Los Angeles to discuss his career, spiritual influences, triumphant final tours, and preparing for his end. “I am ready to die,” Cohen said. He was already suffering from a number of health problems. “At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It’s a cliché, but it’s underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.” Leonard Cohen Makes It Darker - The New Yorker www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/10/.../leonard-cohen-makes-it-dark...

At Last, Poor Yorick

http://img.timeinc.net/time/photoessays/2010/top10_skulls/hamlet.jpg ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: Derivation of "Ham Actor" Posted by ESC on January 07, 2000 In Reply to: Derivation of "Ham Actor" posted by Mary on January 06, 2000 : I know I read/heard once that Hams were originally called Ham Fatters in Shakespeare's day, and that the phrase referred more to their being less than the best, not supported by the crown, as the King's Players were, and having to use ham fat to mix or remove their makeup. Further descriptions welcomed. I looked in three reference books and got three slightly different "takes" on the origin of "ham actor." So I'm going to list all three and let the Phrase Finder folks sort it all out: From "Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins" by Robert Hendrickson (Facts on File, 1997) with asides from Mr. Hendrickson in parenthesis: "HAM. Actors prefer to think that the word derives from the old theatrical use of ham fat to remove blackface makeup - actors were thus called hamfatters, or hams. Many scholars lean to this theory, but 'ham' in the sense of an amateur actor or a 10th rate actor who outrageously overplays his scenes has enough folk etymologies to make a one-act play. Since none really seems capable of absolute proof, I'll simply list three: 1) Ham derives from the Cockney slang 'hamateur,' for 'amateur actor.' (Unlikely, as the term 'ham' in this sense is American from about 1880.) 2) The word structure of 'amateur' itself suggested 'ham.' (A good possibility, but why did it wait so long to suggest itself?) 3) It comes from the role of 'Hamlet,' which actors frequently misperformed. (Another good possibility, but, if so, 'ham' should have been with us since Shakespeare's time.) 'Ham' for one of the rear quarters of a hog, or its meat, derives from Old English 'hamm' for the bend of the knee." From the "Morris Dictionary of Word and Phrase Origins" by William and Mary Morris (HarperCollins, 1977, 1988): "HAM ACTOR. 'Ham in this phrase has two distinct meanings. First, probably by analogy to 'amateur,' there is the use of 'ham' to mean an actor who is incompetent or unskilled. That's the meaning intended in such phrases as 'Hollywood hams.' Then there is 'ham' in the sense of one who overacts or outrageously overplays a scene - especially when his intention is to center all attention on himself to the exclusion of other players. Such devices as upstaging other actors, grimacing at the audience and pointedly fiddling with one's pocket handkerchief during another player's speech are common practices of actors bent on 'hamming it up.' In the days of blackface minstrel shows before the turn of the century, one popular song was 'The Hamfat Man' and it clearly referred to second-rate actors of the type that appeared in such shows. But nobody knows for sure whether the song inspired the name 'hamfatter' for these actors or whether the name preceded the song. We think that the name came before the song, probably from the minstrel's practice of using ham fat to remove the heavy black makeup used during performances. In any event, ham actor is an American expression which made its first appearance in print during the 1880s." From "The Barnhart Dictionary of Etymology: The Origin of American English Words" by Robert W. Barnhart (HarperCollins 1995) "HAM. n. performer. 1882. American English, apparently a shortened form of 'hamfatter' , an actor of low grade, said to be from an old minstrel song 'The Ham-fat Man.' The idea amateurish was extended to a amateur telegraphist and an amateur radio operator ." Of course, there are other theories on the origin of the word "ham" for radio operators. But I'm stopping for now. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to poet Carl Sandburg: "They all want to play Hamlet" since all actors like to hold the skull to pronounce those words whose glory have long caused audiences to mull on just how life-and-death are transitory. Besides, since the word "ham" has been used for actor since around the time of Shakespeare what could be simpler than assuming its use may also have began there. However, its origin is probably a different matter which I hope won't excessively you shake up-- arising from the compound word "hamfatter" then a way to remove an actor's make-up. But an actor's itch*, I'd say for the stage must really be Historic to wish that part of him should go on and on to play- silently - the role of Yorick. (HzL. 10/25/16) *See below, Andre Tchaikowsky, and the Royal Shakespeare Company Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Smoke and Steel. 1922. II. People Who Must 6. They All Want to Play Hamlet THEY all want to play Hamlet. They have not exactly seen their fathers killed Nor their mothers in a frame-up to kill, Nor an Ophelia dying with a dust gagging the heart, Not exactly the spinning circles of singing golden spiders, 5 Not exactly this have they got at nor the meaning of flowers—O flowers, flowers slung by a dancing girl—in the saddest play the inkfish, Shakespeare, ever wrote; Yet they all want to play Hamlet because it is sad like all actors are sad and to stand by an open grave with a joker’s skull in the hand and then to say over slow and say over slow wise, keen, beautiful words masking a heart that’s breaking, breaking, This is something that calls and calls to their blood. They are acting when they talk about it and they know it is acting to be particular about it and yet: They all want to play Hamlet. Carl Sandburg (1878–1967). Smoke and Steel. 1922. Vanitas imagery[edit] Portrait of Katheryn of Berain by Adrian van Cronenburgh c.1560. Shakespeare's 1601 poem The Phoenix and the Turtle was published in a collection dedicated to Katheryn's son, John Salusbury. The contrast between Yorick as "a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy" and his grim remains is a variation on the theme of earthly vanity (cf. Vanitas): death being unavoidable, the things of this life are inconsequential. This theme of Memento mori ('Remember you shall die') is common in 16th- and 17th-century painting, appearing in art throughout Europe. Images of Mary Magdalene regularly showed her contemplating a skull. It is also a very common motif in 15th- and 16th-century British portraiture. Frans Hals, Young Man with a Skull A more direct comparison is with pictures of playful children or young men, who are often depicted looking at a skull as a sign of the transience of life. It was also a familiar motif in emblem books and tombs. Hamlet meditating upon the skull of Yorick has become the most lasting embodiment of this idea, and has been depicted by later artists as a continuation of the Vanitas tradition. Name[edit] The name Yorick has most often been interpreted as an attempt to render a Scandinavian forename: usually either "Erick" or "Jørg", a form of the name George.[2] The name "Rorik" has also been suggested, since it appears in Saxo Grammaticus, one of Shakespeare's source texts, as the name of the queen's father. There has been no agreement about which name is most likely.[3] An alternative suggestion is that it may be derived from the Viking name of the city of York (Jórvík), a connection that was first made in 1866.[4] More recently Gerald Kilroy has suggested that it is an anagram of the Greek word 'Kurios', which he takes to be a reference to the Catholic martyr Edmund Campion.[5] Alas poor Yorick - A humorous rendering ofLaurence Sterne's Yorick byMartin Rowson in his graphic novel of Tristram Shandy The name was used by Laurence Sterne in his comic novels Tristram Shandy and A Sentimental Journey as the surname of one of the characters, a parson who is a humorous portrait of the author. Parson Yorick is supposed to be descended from Shakespeare's Yorick.[6] In B. Traven's novel The Death Ship the doomed vessel is named the "Yorikke". Portrayals[edit] The Young Lord Hamlet (1868) byPhilip H. Calderon, which shows Hamlet as a child, riding on the back of Yorick. The earliest visual image of Hamlet holding Yorick's skull is a 1773 engraving by John Hall after a design by Edward Edwards in Bell's edition of Shakespeare's plays.[7] It has since become a common subject. While Yorick normally only appears as the skull, there have been scattered portrayals of him as a living man, such as Philip Hermogenes Calderon's painting The Young Lord Hamlet (1868), which depicts him carrying the child Hamlet on his back, as if being ridden like a horse by the prince. He was portrayed by comedian Ken Dodd in a flashback during the gravedigging scene in Kenneth Branagh's 1996 film Hamlet. Pianist André Tchaikowsky donated his skull to the Royal Shakespeare Company for use in theatrical productions, hoping that it would be used as the skull of Yorick.[8] Tchaikowsky died in 1982. His skull was used during rehearsals for a 1989 RSC production of Hamlet starring Mark Rylance, but the company eventually decided to use a replica skull in the performance. Musical director Claire van Kampen, who later married Rylance, recalled: As a company, we all felt most privileged to be able to work the gravedigger scene with a real skull ... However, collectively as a group we agreed that as the real power of theatre lies in the complicity of illusion between actor and audience, it would be inappropriate to use a real skull during the performances, in the same way that we would not be using real blood, etc. It is possible that some of us felt a certain primitive taboo about the skull, although the gravedigger, as I recall, was all for it![8] David Tennant used the skull of pianist André Tchaikowsky for Yorick's skull in a 2008 Royal Shakespeare Company production. Although Tchaikowsky's skull was not used in the performances of this production, its use during rehearsals affected some interpretations and line readings: for example, Rylance delivered the line "That skull had a tongue in it, and could sing once" with especial reproach. In this production, Hamlet retained Yorick's skull throughout subsequent scenes, and it was eventually placed on a mantelpiece as a "talisman" during his final duel with Laertes.[8] In 2008, Tchaikowsky's skull was used byDavid Tennant in an RSC production of Hamlet at the Courtyard Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon.[9] It was later announced that the skull had been replaced after it became apparent that news of the skull distracted the audience too much from the play.[10] This was untrue however, and the skull was used as a prop throughout the run of the production after its move to London's West End.[11]

A SHAGGY DOG PRESIDENT?

It has become obvious that the Clintons have become quite comfortable with Wall Street and vice versa.The best outcome for financial markets according to the Wall Street Journal would be for a Clinton presidency but not an overwhelming victory which would make Congress Democratic too. This is reminiscent of a joke about a shaggy dog. One classic version: the archetypical shaggy dog story involves an advertisement placed in the Times announcing a search for a shaggy dog. In the Partridge story, an aristocratic family living in Park Lane is searching for a lost dog, and an American answers the advertisement with a shaggy dog that he has found and personally brought across the Atlantic, only to be received by the butler at the end of the story who takes one look at the dog and shuts the door in his face, saying, "But not so shaggy as that, sir!" from Shaggy dog story - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaggy_dog_story Wikipedia In its original sense, a shaggy dog story or yarn is an extremely long-winded anecdote characterized by extensive narration of typically irrelevant incidents and ... ‎Archetypal story · ‎Examples in literature · ‎Examples in music · ‎See also The Original Shaggy Dog Joke | Greensted Blog https://stephengreensted.wordpress.com/.../the-original-shaggy-dog-joke/ Jan 20, 2011 - I heard on the radio recently that the original shaggy do

When he returned in the fall of 1974, he went to work at at Atari under Nolan Bushnell and Al Alcorn. They were now flush with money from the success of the game Pong and so took him on even though Jobs showed up dressed in his hippie garb and said he wouldn't leave the lobby until he was hired. Anyway Bushnell decided to take a chance on him. Despite his newly acquired Zen sensibilities, Jobs was inclined to inform his coworkers that they were "dumb shits". Yet somehow he also managed to be compelling and exciting. He sometimes wore a saffron robe, went barefoot and believed that his strict diet of only fruits and vegetables meant that he did not need to use deodorant or to shower often. As Bushnell later recounted, this theory was mistaken so he put Jobs on the night shift......

Hillary's Vision-- is it Univision?

Hillary's Vision -- is it Univision? While it is difficult to imagine Donald Trump as president because of his often much too thin-skinned insulting manner, it is important I believe to realize that he has tapped into something in current American politics that resonates....our country is often for sale, disguised by pious pronouncements. In particular, the Clinton years and unfortunately, I believe, aided and abetted by Obama's, the great hypocrisy of speaking for liberal causes, while pocketing huge amounts of money by judicious distribution of power and privilege. Of course, this is what politics is usually about with a handful of at least partial exceptions, every century or two, who usually wind up on the back of currency or stamps or mountain monuments but only after many a struggle. Currently, I believe Trump is telling the truth about those sex charges being amplified and exploited and that the main person behind that is the billionaire Haim Saban (to my shock and amazement he is very pro-Israel) behind the Univision television network. He (Univision) recently bought Gawker after it went bankrupt due to a similar campaign of sex charges against Hulk Hogan, and the snarling Univision anchor Jorge Ramos has often been an overly aggressive anti-Trump mouthpiece. Bill Clinton was flown to the Peres funeral on Mr. Saban's personal jet and then flown back on Obama's, Air Force One. Will Bill Clinton now go down in history as an ex-presidential flying bagman? This is being reported by Politico, Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal to their credit, references below, but not yet in the wider media who are too busy publicizing their disgust with Trump supposed sexual misbehaviors (that tape was 11 years ago) and thereby winning the election for Hillary, as planned. Of course, things may go too far and the Congress could go Democratic too and then it is possible that both Hillary and Mr. Saban could wind up being opposed by more liberal members of their their own party. That would really be interesting. HzL THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN This election campaign seems less about ideology than crude charges of sexual impropriety launched daily in the press and on the air. As awkward as Mr. Donald Trump may be his opponents have been equally unfair.... is there less danger from a once crudely boastful male than from those NOW putting America on sale?

Part of this was due to the machinations of crafty financier played by Lionel Barrymore. I'll have to turn to Google for the rest of the cast..(above)...AND now we can all turn to yesterday's headlines. Our current bank president is not a movie star and he just got fired by the current Lionel Barrymore type played by Warren Buffett, who wasn't just play acting. (I can't prove any of this, but since the bank president has cost Wells Fargo major investor/owner Mr. Buffett over $1 billion in losses recently, I suspect this or some equivalent scenario.) But this Mr. Schlumpf (really Stumpf) doesn't have to contemplate suicide since he gets 140 million dollars in retirement benefits which is far better than the fate of thousands of employees he had fired-- many because they wouldn't go along with his crooked schemes, putting 'fired for cause' on their records so they could not be rehired by other banks.

Its title Watership Down sounded vaguely familiar so I started reading it.After a while it became absorbing, even though the premise seemed to be silly, involving rabbits who not only spoke their own language, but one of whom, named Fiver*, could foretell the future – although only approximately. *Because he was the fifth in the litter when he was born. His older brother, somewhat confusingly named Hazel, eventually became chief rabbit. The book began its existence as a story told by the author, Richard Adams, to his two young daughters sitting in the backseat as he tried to calm them and keep them less bored during drives in their car. They were so entranced that they insisted that Daddy write the stories down into a book. It was turned down by the major publishers in England, but a small press took a chance and, strangely, it became a bestseller and then a movie. The movie is available here on YouTube free for those who want to watch. It was a great success in England, but flopped in America although one notable bit part, a rescuing bird with a Polish Jewish accent(Unfortunately for me, much less prominent in the movie than in the book) was spoken wonderfully by Zero Mostel in his last movie role.

MEDICATION ADVICE FOR OLDER PATIENTS

http://www.alltreatment.com/uploads/prescription-drugs1.jpg MEDICATION ADVICE TO OLDER PATIENTS "What was once good for you may not be as good now" when hair-or what's left- has grayed above a wrinkled brow. You should especially watch statins which may have helped greatly to sustain former life patterns but can be dangerous at 80. So reduce your dose of most of those as well as all other meds when you're over 75 for by then your body's gotten used to staying alive and needs less help from medication -- taking more can just be provocation. So, when almost all else has been said and done why not, just (carefully?) go out and have some fun?
