After the Wedding

May 9th, 2011

Finally, after all the hoopla of several weeks prior to, and the unending coverage on all news channels on the day of the wedding (and re-runs all the next day in case we missed anything the first few times), the British Royal wedding has finally drawn to a close. (Only the death of the nefarious OBL superseded and reposed that coverage, at least for now). With all the “pomp and circumstance” of even greater magnitude than your standard college graduation the prince and his new bride have ridden off into the sunset – but, wait – “The sun never sets on the British Empire”. Perhaps they went over to the next castle to get away.

America’s Direction – Part 3

April 30th, 2011

In November 2008, the day after the Presidential election, I sent a multi-page e-mail to a group of selected friends & acquaintances regarding the “choice” that Americans had made in their selection of President. From their responses, it was not generally well received.

In the e-mail I stated some things that would occur as a result of their “selection”. It was NOT a pleasant “shopping list” but things I predicted would happen. Comments included “things can’t get that bad” or “leave him alone and give him a chance” or “you are just angry that the election didn’t go your way”, and the most asinine statement was “it is none of your business.”

The “Canjo”

April 25th, 2011

I thought I had seen most versions of musical instruments, but recently I was (rarely) proven wrong! If you attend many orchestral performances you will generally see variations of instruments that we have been accustomed to for years. Things like “heralding” trumpets that are many feet long instead of curved back onto themselves and uniquely contorted French horns and clarinets are included in the lineup.

A Pastoral Scene

April 18th, 2011

In looking around in this mountainous region where I have re-located, one can quickly see how the “postcard” views of the area are so appealing. The grass has suddenly turned a bright green, obviously from all the recent water (rain & snow) and the spring flowers and fruit trees are abounding with rich colors.

Especially lovely were the apple, cherry and other fruit tree blossoms. I say “were” for they have pretty much peaked, and with all the high winds of recent weeks for the most part the delicate blossoms have blown away. But while they were with us, the panorama was fabulous.
