Loose Leaf Notes

1. Sometimes bluebells are pink. See HERE.

2. Death is at least as big a magic trick as being born in the first place is!

3. I guarantee THIS will make you LOL.

4. THIS is a great songbird identification resource. Click on the bird and hear its song.

5. “Nearly everybody gets twitterpated (lovestruck) in the springtime,” a friendly owl said to Bambi in 1942, but today the word can be used to describe those obsessive communicators who use the online medium Twitter to tell their friends every small thing they’re doing with their day.

6. “That stuck ship was symbolic.” -My friend Joel

7. It takes years of prep / for the magic trick / of being here one minute / and gone the next  – read The Magic Trick in its entirety HERE. 

8. Thanks I need THAT, a new pandemic song by Mick Jagger with David Grohl.

9. …Shooting the vaccine / Bill Gates is in my bloodstream / It’s mind control / The earth is flat and cold / It’s never warming up / The Arctic’s turned to slush / The second coming’s late / And there’s aliens in the deep state… Mick

10. And now Floyd singer/songwriter southern/rocker Morgan Wade is not only written up in the Rolling Stone but she performed on CBS’s Morning Shot on Saturday, which I watched and taped some of from my TV HERE. 

11. “I walk in Central Park as April comes in and it’s a genteel world like what Renoir painted in Paris with the ladies carrying parasols and Dvořák walked in Prague whistling a tune that became the Humoresque that generations of kids would learn for spring recitals and Shakespeare sat in and scribbled notes for “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” –– it is a permanent pleasure, to be cherished for all time, but I want life to move on so the kids grow up and think of Vietnam as a cuisine and trump as part of card games and “pandemic” will come to mean a college prof who gets negative reviews…” Garrison Keillor

12. A comma of moon in a story of sky punctuates the pause between dusk and dawn.

13. “I’m not telling you it is going to be easy; I’m telling you it’s going to be worth it.” – Art Williams
