These were some T-shirts outside a Savannah, Georgia souvenir store.

A sunset from the airplane.

Happy Father's Day.

Don't Hesitate, Travel Away.

I almost did not go on my recent trip (to north carolina and Georgia), because of "too many things to do." I thought it would interfere with too many things.
A change of pace... just seeing a new city, can be refreshing. (Of course the verdict is, I'm glad I went. The lesson is that what I lost in 'getting things done,' I made up for by seeing new things). If you have the chance to travel, just go.

The End.

Have a good Saturday,

Oh Savannah, Won't You Cry For Me? Cause I Come From Alabama With A Banjo On My Knee

Here it is again: I recently went to Savannah, Georgia. (No I did not come from Alabama. I have nothing to do with banjos, and have never associated myself with a banjo).

People seem to like tours in Savannah. I am not really a fan of taking tours when I'm on a vacation or trip. I'd rather just see the city for myself.
The person I was with wanted to take a tour, however, so that is exactly what we did.

The tour guide was excellent, and kept throwing in random facts about Savannah. Anyway, the tours seemed very popular.
So, maybe other tourists don't mind being 'touristy.'

I wanted to go, mostly, after having read the book Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil. Also a movie!
In the book, there is a small part in the beginning where a character named Miss Harty talks about how leisurely, different, and Southern the city is.
The point: I feel honored to have visited this 'leisurely,' unique, and charm-filled city.

The End.
Blessing you, each and every reader.

What I Learned In Savannah Georgia

Operating at a slower pace, and having leisurely "squares" throughout the city, is not necessarily a bad thing.

THE END.

Thank you for reading.

Grits, Grits, Grits?

Grits are the official prepared food of Georgia.

I had the opportunity to go to Savannah.

The End.

Thank you.

It is day 12 of the blogathon.

Positively, Lyrics Day.

It's lyrics day.

"And now I know you're dissatisfied with your position and your place
Don't you understand, it's not my problem."
Bob Dylan, from the song "Positively 4th Street." I have always liked Bob Dylan. I heard a similar song today, and just wanted to post.

"You can climb a ladder up to the sun
Or a write a song nobody has sung
Or do something that's never been done
Do something that's never been done."

Coldplay, from the song Talk. This is from the album, X & Y.

It is day 11 pf the Blogathon.

thank you. THE END.

Email Antics. And, The Oak Cliff Film Fest. It's Not Too Late. Oh, Yeah It Is

I have a friend who suggested divorcing yourself from your devices for a while. (It means electronic devices, including phone and computer).
This was a while ago. In light of this, I am trying various ways to not allow myself to be an email addict.

Two small suggestions (And yes, divorce yourself now... please).

I try to not check email on my phone, if I am near a computer. I've been minimizing the emails I send from my phone.

On Saturday and Sunday, does email need to be checked 3 times a day? I think not.

On to:
You have missed the second (annual) run of the Oak Cliff Film Festival. This was at the Texas Theatre. It ended on Sunday. However, you can catch the third run next year.
Then you, and only you, can say, "I was hanging out at the OCFF."


The End.
Thank you for your awesome and clueless patronage.

Is Your Mission Finished?

Writer Richard Bach said:

"Here is a test to find whether your mission on earth is finished: If you're alive, it isn't."

Richard Bach was recently injured in a plane crash, and is now recovering.
In the 1970s he wrote a book that inspired a movie, with a soundtrack by none other than Neil Diamond.

THE END.
Happy June 9.

I could not decide if I liked the above photo, so here is another one of Richard Bach:


Also, thank you to Gloria, of course ... who exposed me to this quote.
