Are We Having Fun Yet: Just Photos, Music, and a Very Few Words!
I so wanted to do a serious blog this time – there’s so much to talk about. Not so serious this time, I wanted to lighten up.
You have probably seen Raising Arizona, another Coen brother’s cinematic work of art. Anyway, just a segue into this blog topic – “there is so little time, so much to do, little brother” – this would be John Goodman speaking to his little brother as they head over to the “hayseed bank” to relieve them of their cash. I highly recommend your watching Raising Arizona, I do at least once a year.
Regardless of how little time there is to speak about the “serious stuff”, whatever that might be, I’ll move on to more entertaining and hopefully enlightening stuff. I do so like to include pictures and music in my blogs, and words too, but we’ll see what pops up.

I saw this “little library” in a neighborhood where I was running recently. Very cool that people set these up for anyone to borrow or add a book.

Today’s Sidebar
As you know, if you have followed my blog for a while, I tend to repeat certain topics and disciplines. No, it’s not because I’m forgetful (well, occasionally I am), it’s because I learn new things about my favorite topics and want to pass that information along. You can always search for stuff in my blog.
I’ve talked about things like meditation and mindfulness and other ways to de-stress and mellow out. The September 2020 Reader’s Digest article, “How to Build a Better Brain” (starts on page 60), covers areas like:
- Eating fruits and vegetables
- Neuroplasticity – interesting concept, lots of publications out there
- Exercise – what happens when your muscles take over your brain, in a good way
- Ways to calm down – things like breathing, meditation, and yoga
