I want to make sure that my children know how very proud I am of them for all they’ve accomplished and for what great people they have become. I’m not sure they will read this post now or in the in future but at least I know it is there for then and the world to see. So here is just a few items that have made me glow with pride.

(1) INDIVIDUAL PURSUITS- My children have excelled in areas that they have found whether it be in music, photography or other art forms that I never saw coming.

(2) EDUCATIONAL ENDEAVORS- They have excelled in their educational achievements where many of their peers have fallen behind.

(3) WORK PERFORMANCE- It’s incredible to see my children grow in their abilities in working on projects and working as a hole.

(4) CARING- Most importantly my children have shown a deeper love and caring attitude to many others that I might have neglected or even ignored.

Today all American’s saw their rights trampled on by a Justice Department that is far from just as “Attorney Client Privileges” were shredded in Mueller’s  creepy investigation.  Michael Cohen President Trump’s private attorney had his personal papers seized by FBI agents who’s investigation is now about political vindictiveness rather then the truth.  This might appear to satisfy those Trump haters who will stop at nothing to try to hurt the President but remember once this door of unjust acts is open for one side it probably won’t be closed for the other.  Furthermore how about those clients who might even be Democrats who have had Michael Cohen as their attorney and now have their privileged conversation in the FBI’s hands.  Everyone should have the right to have their conversation between counsel private no matter what their political stripes are.

Can the record be saved for the next generation or is it just a collectible? Maybe that’s part of saving this form of art as we know it. For an Album must not only interest one’s ears but add much to the other parts of their life. Here are ways the Album can be experienced for those that don’t even know what a record player is.

(1) ART- The cover of the music should excite the eye’s as well as the ears.

(2) EXTRA’S- Those that buy an Album from an artist should receive extra’s such a specially poster that can be framed. Maybe even a special offer from a sponsor that almost everyone loves to eat or drink.

(3) EXCLUSIVES- An album should have exclusives that can’t be heard or seen anywhere else. Whether it is a track that won’t be released on any radio dial,  a lottery to win special prizes or tickets that only those with an album code can participate in or a private conversation between the band and those who own the album.

(4) FAN FUN- Individuals who buy an album might also participate through the social media in an unusual and social experience with other fans of the band.

Sometimes I feel as if I’m missing an awesome picnic everyday. For in the ground my 4 legged friends find some delectable dish that has been left behind. Most of the time it probably should be left behind (literally) but maybe there is something I’m not seeing or smelling. As I offer them many a left over from the finest dishes at your local fast food chain they’d rather take a bite from something grown naturally or naturally put there. I guess it’s all in the nose of the beholder.

Israeli responded against the vile chemical weapons attack of the innocent by “President” Assad in Syria this morning.  Israel might be taking the lead but the world must respond as well for “never again” is occurring today in the streets of Syria. Where an evil regime bent on control by any means possible is using those means against innocent civilians and most put their heads in the sand even as 250,000 lives have been lost already.  We must learn from the past and if the world body (UN) has any real reason to exist it must be to protect against genocide where-ever it might exist.

It’s if you keep rewinding your DVR to the same scene over and over again and yet it is not Deja Vu but your life and mine.  For some people seem to repeat the same story every time you see them even thou they’ve told to you again and again and… you get the point.  The story might have been fascinating the 1st time but by the 10th time you’ve sorta have memorized the lines and are ready to perform it on stage.  Probably better then the story teller can perform it because you’ve had practice whether you wanted it or not.  Repeat performances we all live with them and over-time they only seem to become a bigger part of our daily life.

Chappaquiddick is a movie that could have told so much more but instead left you with a sinking family.  The film focused entirely on the incident that occurred on the fateful night in 1969 without any of the background of what led up to the incident including who Mary Jo Kopechne really was.  It also left the viewer feeling empty as to the characters on the Kennedy side of the equation.  The only character somewhat developed was Ted Kennedy but even some key points of his puzzling life were missing.  Chappaquiddick could have been so much then it was and that’s why it sunk into movies I will soon forget.

**  Chappaquiddick good acting doesn’t make up for a slow script.
