Water, Heidi, and Sandy

The water Tower is being disassembled and a new one is going up.  The new one is up and a water fountain was installed on the corner of the property for all the public to use, The Water Fountain was built with left over components of the dis-assembly., its really quite pretty if you are into salvage art.

The Mayor is having a fundraiser at the Swan Club, but he is running unopposed.  My wife is going with two of her friends, she is making it a girls night out.

Twitter has added an Operators Lounge user account as a group for fellow workers that do what I do as an EVS operator to follow and tweet what ever is relevant in our industry and or simply to post pictures from fellow operators.  Problems here lie in not a lot of operators know how to tweet with effectiveness, many don't care to, no less follow a group.  Many use Facebook as a tweet zone. Facebooking timely to a current show they would be watching or responding to a breaking news event.  This really is more of Twitter's share of the social media, to be timely with hashtags that people and groups to cull and observe.  It is much more difficult to gather data from Facebook than to track data from twitter with the constraints of hashtags.  The other issue I have with Operators Lounge is EVS in the Medical field is completely different than EVS in the entertainment field.

I follow Heidi Klum as a subscriber on Facebook, these are Photo's from what she would call a Blast from the Past.  It's interesting to see where she is working and who she is meeting, she always seems to be very active.  The comments she receives to her postings are sometimes in the 1000's sometimes they are merely 80 or so.  It is fun to look up some of the words posted because obviously some of her followers speak several languages.  The translate button in Blogger is wonderful to use when you stumble across a site that you find interesting from someones comment and you stalk away at who was that and they seem interesting.

One of the early discoveries I made with Google was if you type simply the word Define and any other word, you could get a dictionary response gathered for you.  With Kindle if you highlighted a word in someones story that you didn't quite understand, the definition appeared at the bottom of the page, you could also gather this information permanently on your Kindle in the Notes and Highlights section.  It keeps several Bookmarks as well like folding the corner of a page to go back and reread a section if you needed to.

I will be starting an 8 day project with CNBC and Food Network in a few days regarding small business.

The projects I am currently working on are a Fairy Tale concerning Honeybees, a Bear, a Wolf and the Wind.

I am also working on an adaptation for screen of a blind child singing prodigy that is kidnapped by the Circus who is rescued by a Hobo that she friend-ed while in the woods near her home.

The biggest project I am adapting is several books combined written by the same author and about the Author, whom was known as a prominent French Diplomat.

I have an oil painting that was begun I need to complete, and I have to clean the Garage, repair the roof when the weather gets warm.  Welcome a French Student into our home for two weeks.

Hurricane Sandy was bad, but it prompted the idea for a second fairy tail concerning Gnomes.

We faired well concerning how many did not do so well, we had a generator for Day One, I bought it the Sunday before the storm hit and picked it up the Monday Morning at 7AM the day of the storm.

Naked Yoga and Meditation

Great American Past Time

Rogues view a blog I follow, posted a semi pornographic poem quite lengthy and very well written, this is a man I at times admire, and at other times I could not put up with the whining.  He has pulled himself out of the slump of 2008 and found himself published again.   I am very happy for him. Punchopsticks has'nt posted in her blog at all as of late because she has entered college.  I am proud of her writings, she was so successful in her High School years that I know she will be a tremendous success at Journalism.  I recently met a Swedish girl who does or doesn't blog but told me that she didn't choose the College I went to because there wasn't a sports Journalism program per se.  Emerson whats up with that.

My wife just went to get me a Black Coffee with Ice from Dunkin Donuts, because you now this country runs on Dunkin.  That brings me to Snowbrush, who writes a blog called Snowbrush.  He recently whined about his wife asking for his help only in the last minute of her needs.  He didn't recognize very many of the signs of his whining, as I generally give him some rope because he generally suffers from a lot of pain and is very much medicated when he needs to be.  But his aversion to jumping up for her and helping out was not understood by me.  He is not a lazy man but to complain was wasteful. He generally makes light of a situation and we can all enjoy it for the comic Irony that is life.  Irony was not given in the last post made by Snow, had he been Naked and meditating, I think his wife Peggy may have understood that maybe now wasn't the best time to ask for help and advice.  She of course I'm sure found him with pencil in hand book on lap slumped around the typewriter.

Nolly Posh is resting easy and is no longer blogging.  Adventure in Nature Blog is going full bore from the Houston Zoo, and if you ever want a break from the mundane on Facebook, this is an original source of Animal Levity and story that is compelling and always amusing and light.  That blog is written by Rock Rochelle Joseph, an Emerson College alum whom I have known from Emerson College. Jeff Norman who writes for Citizenjeff.com is also from Emerson and writes humorously and with an intriguing view at the world. Snow you may enjoy this, it is right up your ally of citizen activism.  Naked Meditation and Yoga none of these writers have attested to it, but I think in the middle of their sleep habits when the subconscious kicks in and they are at rest in what I call the post REM position, its meditation and NON Yoga, what you might call the yoga cool down of REM. Your eyes have a muscle and they need a cool down as well.

The Toscano Vigarosa Rose

wonderfully fragrant

I don't want to mislead my readers too much because the only way I do get readers is when I post the word Naked or Sex in the header so my last lead to good writing is Mind Body Green which you can find on Facebook for Links, It has everything you ever wanted in light reading for the Mind and Body and plenty of Pictures for the eyes and Mind to exercise on.

Look into Gonescampng.com for travel tips on the out west to all places concerning sites that are a must see from off the road, and Journals and Notepads to where you need to pick up a journal to log your memoirs, even the dirty memories like Christian Grey in 50 shades.  I stopped at 14 shades and never published, because I didn't think my wife would think that was cool, little did I know, she went back to read it a second time after she finished the second two books. Y'all know what I'm talking about.

Back to more serious writing my Slumber Tale about the Bee and the Wolf.

Camaraderie!!!

I would have spelt it with an o, but spell check knows best. In the business I am in, a jibe is taken in good stride. A younger more experienced associate was kidding me about my knowledge of playing the game of soccer.  I had played in High School, College and even on a Italian German Team in my post college days. We had uniforms and a dues and a league with a schedule, practices and families made the trek out to watch their people win or lose.  When I commented what year I played in High School, surprisingly I found out my associate was two at the time I graduated High School.

So what he missed when I was in High School was Race riots in 1973, and the moon landing in 1969. These are all things I grew up enjoying and not enjoying.  I also remember the milkman delivering fresh milk and cottage cheese to the front steps of the house.  I remember Elsie the Cow on the label.  What else he missed during my era was the Pope coming to Boston and Boston streets being completely shut down to any traffic except for Federal Vehicles, the Postal trucks being federally owned still were able to navigate the street and deliver the mails. These were the only vehicles navigating the streets in those days, empty streets but the white postal trucks emblazoned with an Eagle.   In those days in the late 70' in Boston they still had Gas Street lights that lined the streets of the Commonwealth.  A man used to have to go light by light and turn the gas on and light each light at night. He retired in 1979 and the town was converted to electricity. I am talking 1979 people not 1879.  Gas Lights in Boston in the late 70's.  It was Groovy Baby.  We were the Peace and Love Generation.  They were different times, no cell phones, but we did have MTV, when MTV played music.

I could go on and talk about the Franciscan Friars Monastery I grew up adjacent to, a thirty acre estate that we were allowed to do whatever we wanted on and we did, but that is gone and mysteries that revealed themselves to us post monastery are intriguing speculation that make for good books and not blogs.

What small mystery has gone forever that you have lived through that may never bee seen or heard of because some new younger person will never be made aware and carry a truth forward?
