Thoughts

  • No good meal can’t satisfy your future hunger.
  • Whatever you say you may be asked to stand by it.
  • Sunny days don’t last forever
  • For sure, night follows day
  • Be careful what you wish for – you may get it.
  • Tough achievements are added to your resume.
  • Failure may be a prelude to learning.
  • Do it today. Tomorrow may never come.
  • Don’t waste time. You can’t retrieve it.

Mayhem

Never, never, never in the many years I have lived here have I seen so much rain. …

In the higher elevations it snowed and snowed and snowed, covering everything.

Everything in sight was white, dazzling white.

Local residents were advised to stay home.

The storm, the worst of many years, did lots of damage.

When the storm subsided, the damage was surveyed. It was “plenty.”

Many old people, like me (109), died. Without power, they could not operate their electric heaters and froze to death (not a pleasant way to end your days).

‘All Quiet on the Western Front’

My name is Morrie Markoff and I can honestly say no movie in my long life has had the effect on my life than “All Quiet on the Western Front.”

If my memory is not faulty (and it often is although it amazes me what I remember, as it does others).

***

A watered-down version of the original almost surprised me when Cherito told me it was being considered being given an Academy Award.

I suggest they take another look at the original film, a heart wringer, with a well-known handsome Lew Ayres (Cherito boosts my ego by telling me I look like him).

Enough writing for today.

I will keep you informed.
