Red Fish Blue Fish

One fish, two fish.

Red fish, blue fish.

Swarms of the sea. 

They swim and they churn.

How many can there be?  ;-)

Don't Be Chicken

Don't be chicken. 

Your goose is cooked. 

Eat crow.

Proud as a peacock.

An ugly duckling.

The early bird catches the worm. 

One flew over the cuckoo's nest. 

Kill two birds with one stone. 

What's with all the weird bird sayings?  ;-)

Standout Nike polka dot sneakers. 

Can't help thinking that you just need a large round red nose with this. 

And you're all set for the circus.  ;-)

Fashion Hot and Cold

Fashion in Washington, D.C. in January winter low temperatures. 

Perhaps trying for "hot" (-like) fashion on a cold day.

I don't think it would go over all that well in an office-setting, especially in this often stodgy town. ;-)

iPhone Generation

It's a beautiful day. 

Friends are all sitting on the boat together. 

One is even getting married, a bride-to-be. 

Sky is clear and water is blue.

Yet not one person is looking up from their screen. 

Apparently the virtual world is so much more intriguing. 

Soon everyone will be lost in the Metaverse.

The real world left to become a cesspool that perhaps no one cares much about anymore. 

Is this really what we call progress?

Cut Off The Legs And Call Him Shorty

Who knew, it's actually a song by Louis Armstrong.

It comes after:

"Shave off my hair and call me baldy."

They don't make them like they used to.  ;-)

Fabric Fabric Everywhere

Beautiful rolls of fabric!

Red, and pink, and blue, and green, and white, and black, and...

I'm outa breath. 

Can you imagine having to make these on a loom like in the olden days? 

Ah, not fun for sure. 

Maybe that's why some people "go commando."

Better to just kill a bear or something!  ;-)

Tacky Bird in Window

Tacky window treatment. 

The shade has an amazing blue bird on it. 

Whether the shade is up or down, you maintain a view to the outside world and nature. 

This may actually be good in a bunker to ease the minds of those confined and cooped up. 

Bird fly, fly away to a place of peace and a time of serenity.  ;-)

Meat and Potatoes Guy

Meat and potatoes guy!

Skip the carbs, and just eat the meat. 

Not as satisfying, but healthier indeed.  ;-)

Almost growing and alive inside like the rings of a tree.

Miracles of Mother Earth and nature.  ;-)

The Power of Giving to Overcome Abuse

Please see my new article in The Time of Israel called "The Power of Giving to Overcome Abuse."

We can't outsmart G-d, and we can't take what isn't rightfully ours. In effect, the charity we must give, already belongs to G-d, and we can't keep it or invest it, because at the end of the day, G-d will have what is His. And with this realization, lying back down in bed, I sung the words from Proverbs many times to myself and smiled, thanking G-d for my children who teach their parents and for G-d enabling me to learn new lessons for my soul and how the blessings from G-d are ultimately realized.

In short, while sexual molesters (i.e. monsters) steal from the bodies of their victims and inflicts devastating harm to them physically, mentally, and emotionally, in stark contract are those who give charitably to others, giving of themselves in order to make others that are in need whole again in body, mind, and soul.

Oriental Flair

I liked the oriental flair of this decor.

The vases, plants, and bonsai (even fake) were nice. 

Appreciated the symmetry as well which makes it hang all together. 

Relaxing and charming.  ;-)
