Amazing Honey Chicken
Crispy noodles underneath the delicious, sweet, succulent, and crispy chicken.
This was, as they say, "to die for" - so, so delicious.
As my father used to say, "It tastes like more!" :-)

Face It!
The brilliance of capturing the essence while leaving out the extraneous.
A person is clearly there even though it's just his face.
What is hidden is also revealed.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Yet, I don't miss him, because he's right there.
It looks like he's about to say something! ;-)

Israel 2020: Day 8
Took the train to Haifa and then a taxi ride up this big hill.
Got out at the top and not sure what to expect.
We go through security...
And then we see this completely BREATHTAKING view of the Bahai Gardens along with an amazing view of Haifa, the port, and up and down the Mediterranean Sea.
The view Extended all the way up to the Crusader Castle in Akko.
The terraced Bahai Gardens were spectacular.
I've never seen anything like this.
We walked down the terraces some 700 stairs.
And along the way were fountains, gardens, and more beautiful landscapes and views.
This is definitely something to see (thank you Hashem for this opportunity). ;-)

Street Art Wow
This mural on the side of a building in Philadelphia is just amazing.
It takes a regular street (even next to an abandoned lot) and makes it eye-popping.
Some people seem to walk by and not even notice.
I'm not sure how. ;-)

Woman In Gold, Gold, and More Gold
The painting is called the Portrait of Adele Block-Bauer I and was commissioned by her adoring husband.
That face! And surrounded by everything in gold yet you can still clearly make out her stunning dress.
I've never seen anything like this: the vividness and the majesty of it.
Honestly, I think there is a resemblance to my beautiful mother, Gerda Blumenthal who was also from Germany.
The interesting history on this is that it was stolen by the Nazis from the Jewish owners in the Holocaust, but was finally returned to their family in America that succeeded in suing Austria for it back.
This is truly one of the greats! ;-)

The Passover Menorah
So what's with the menorah?
Well my friend, John Akkus (of Akkus Silver Touch), made this beautiful piece for me.
I love the fine handiwork of copper, brass, crystals, Jewish symbols (Stars of David) and bold colors of this amazing menorah.
John sells his art at the annual Suglarloaf Festivals in the Spring.
I am so glad I found this wonderful menorah--it is beautiful all year long (through Chanukah and Passover).
Thank you John and nice job! ;-)

Black Hole--What's Really Important?
It measures about 25 billion miles across--about the size of 29,000 suns.
If this doesn't make you (with all the money, smarts, good looks, and ego to match) feel small, nothing will.
We are but a speck of dust in this vast universe (maybe not even that).
Perspective is in order for your life and what it means.
Forget the money-grubbing and honor-seeking.
Realize what's really important is what you do in terms of choosing right from wrong and good over evil in every small thing you do. ;-)

Most Amazing Sculpture
Let me explain why?
It looks like a bust of a woman with a fine fabric lace veil over hear head and face.
But believe it or not, the veil is part of the sculpture.
And her eyes are just shadows of it.
In other words, there is no veil or eyes.
The museum tour guide pulled out a flashlight and pointed it and her eyes and they were gone.
How any artist can have such a divine gift to make something like this is really beyond me.
All I can do is stare in complete marvel at this sculpture of a veil covering this woman's face. ;-)

World Of Amazing Times and People
Took this video at the World of Montgomery Festival today.
The dancers, singers, drummers, and costumes were all great.
The weather today an unseasonably warm 76 degrees and being out and about was fun.
Plus it was an extra special treat to meet up with my pal Congressman Jamie Raskin.
Thank you G-d for all the amazing times and good people.

Flower 4 Monday
I have never seen a flower with pedals of pink and white candy stripes like this.
Like a candy cane or perhaps the outfits that volunteers helping people at some hospitals wear.
It also has these yellow buds in the center, which add to it's eloquence.
What magnificent creations that G-d has bestowed on us to enjoy.
Hope this is a little something to cheer up your Monday and make you even more productive this week. ;-)
