"The people living through a turning point almost never know they're in one."

Bowie's interpretation of Simon and Garfunkel's "America" is absolutely stunning. "They've all come to look for America" feels so quaint now. #Bowie #SimonandGarfunkel #America www.youtube.com/watch?v=afif...

1987. Bowie was a voracious reader all his life, & travelled with a 'capsule library' including old favourites & new books. Marilyn Monroe had done similar

I have a thing for trees and ancient forests. This is a stunning image. To quote Tina Fey's Liz Lemon, "I want to go to there." #SequoiaNationalPark #TinaFey #30Rock

Morning Coffee Thought of the Day: As my husband was eating his healthy granola, yogurt and blueberries breakfast, I felt at ease enjoying my morning coffee and a handful of Werther's Original Caramel candy. No E-coli here. #recalls #Werthers #blueberries #granola

Describe your music taste in 3 artists, no genres Into It. Over It. 14K (Petty Heat) Fred Astaire's version of anything

Evening Cappuccino Thought of the Day: While watching #TheAmericanExperiment on #Netflix, I was struck by Senator Ted Cruz's verbal adoration for The Constitution. His hypocrisy is mind-blowing considering how complicit he is for choosing to support those who ignore its laws.

We should all be a Sam Neill. #SamNeill

I took this shot at Georgia O'Keeffe's Ghost Ranch in Northern New Mexico. I believe that this was the inspiration for her painting, Gerald's Tree. #Landscapes #GeorgiaOKeeffe #GhostRanch #NewMexico

I used to wonder while watching movies featuring Darth Vader-types if there were those in the audience that took inspiration from "the bad guys".

Morning Coffee Thought of the Day: Paying homage to the late, great William Shakespeare (with a few changes), allow me to say, "All the world seems staged, and we're merely players. #staged #Shakespeare #WHCD

Hmm...not mmm.

This took me completely by surprise. #SophiaLoren #ZooBeZooBeZoo #TheMillionairess

This is sunshine when we need it. In 1963, Karen Valentine performed "Blame it on the Bossa Nova" on the Ed Sullivan Show. The lip-syncing is intentionally bad which makes it oh, so good. #TheEdSullivanShow #KarenValentine #EdyieGorme www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHs5...

Morning Cappuccino Thought of the Day: Even though we're just a blip in the universe, on the ground, the events that we're experiencing at this moment seem massive. It's difficult not to be consumed by it. #PennMuseum #Philadelphia #Womandeepinthought

I'm in a Vaseline state of mind.

Each slat is a story.

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year, and a chance to appreciate the beauty of this artist's interpretation of a black cat. P.S. I hope that's a fish in the water.

This cartoon taken at face value is funny, but it's also thought provoking. We can be one barbaric planet.

This should be the opening paragraph in a book. Charles Dickens would have loved this ("It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.").
