REFLECTIONS

I first learned about Louis Zamperini from Kay G. Her site:  Georgia Girl With An English Heart The video from 2012 CBS broadcast about his life:

I just joined the Sons of Italy with my wife.  We needed a way to get out and meet people. Tomorrow we'll have dinner with the group.  The members are mostly middle aged and over. At first I did not feel I was old enough to fit in.  It's scary but in fact I'm older than I feel! I'm also going to look for a younger group of people to join.  I'm hoping some of their energy will rub off on me! There will be a grab bag auction with the proceeds going to charity.  The bags will have inexpensive new or slightly used articles We're bringing two bags. One has a picture frame and the other has a journal and pens.

This one is doing well with new shoots coming in. A strong wind cracked the stalk of the second plant below.

I have to admit it. I'm an introvert and this article explains it best. I need friends as much as anyone but I just find it difficult.  Anyway, I'm better off this way than being with people who are phony and manipulative.  Here is a copy of the article from the "Lifehack" site: http://www.lifehack.org/articles/communication/you-didnt-get-why-you-couldnt-get-along-with-introverts-before-you-read-this-youll-understand-after.html The website is on my list of interesting sites.

More of my interest in Ancient Rome. Here is an excellent video.

Have you seen this Geico TV commercial? It's silly but it still made me laugh!

At first I did not see it but just some movement from the corner of my eye.  I stopped in time before grabbing the door handle and squashing it. I quickly got my camera. My wife was putting away the dishes while watching TV.  It created a perfect background for the short movie, just like a horror movie! I did not have enough time to take sharper images but they came out better than I expected.
