Wonder . . .

. . . WHY Republicans haven’t shown it to the FBI or Justice Department. . .



(fromhttps://www.politico.com/story/2018/01/23/republican-memo-fbi-jerry-nadler-358918)
". . . A parade of GOP lawmakers this week have said the memo confirms misconduct and political bias against President Donald Trump by senior officials at the FBI. Democrats say the memo, which Republicans haven’t shown to the FBI or Justice Department, is an attempt to undermine the special counsel investigation into Russian election meddling and any involvement by Trump’s associates. . ."

The World . . .

. . . was my oyster . . .



. . . as full of wonder and joy; as carefree; as full of potential but more importantly, full of fun. With a bicycle practically a permanent part of my anatomy, the neighborhood provided (what seemed like) endless miles to explore, numerous friends with whom many adventures were undertaken. Safe, secure, content and not a care in the world. . . except for possibly 'in which direction do I ride today?' One day, with some friends (who sometimes possessed less-than-noble motives), my bike and I ventured to the property of a nearby box-manufacturing facility. In the yard of the property, which was not secured by fence, wall or canine representatives, were stored rolls of paper (a necessary component of cardboard boxes) of all sizes and weights. For some reason which does not readily or otherwise come to mind mind now, we dismounted our vehicles and came in personal contact to a relatively small roll which was probably about four and a half feet tall, not very big in diameter, yet quite heavy; a fact which I was later to discover first-hand.  Our close contact with the object eventually involved changing its position from vertical to horizontal. As we proceeded in our endeavor, the roll of paper somehow managed to attain its horizontal orientation upon the tip of the big toe on my right foot. Upon my return home and my walk through the living room where my parents were watching their evening television, I resorted to limping somewhat to relieve the pain of the injury I had sustained. When questioned about my unusual method of walking, I assured Mom and Dad that nothing was wrong.  This for two reasons:  1. I was hoping the injury was minor and would not require any significant attention;  2. House rules said that my wanderings were to be confined to our neighborhood and I was NOT to cross the major thoroughfare to where the box company was located. Eventually I 'fessed-up.'  The nail of my big toe on the injured foot was severely bruised (nothing broken, thank goodness). It eventually fell off being replaced by a brand new one.

Did I . . .

. . . mention our WONDERFUL press?. . .

. . . This was one of the top stories on NBCNews.com yesterday.  Is it any wonder that some think this man is a viable presidential candidates? . .


(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/key-source-disputes-times-story-trump-s-behavior-women-n574741)
". . . Key Source Disputes Times Story on Trump's Behavior With Women
by JANE C. TIMM
The woman whose personal story led a New York Times feature casting presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump as sexist and inappropriate with women disputed the story in an interview on Monday. . . The woman, Rowanne Brewer Lane, told Fox News that the Times' portrayal of her experiences with Trump was "very upsetting" and dishonest. . . "I did not have a negative experience with Donald Trump and I don't appreciate them making it look like I was saying that it was a negative experience because it was not," the former model and one-time companion of Trump said Monday morning. . . "

Perpending. . .


When I was pre-adolescent, watching with wonder the antics, joy, humor and sensuality of the beautiful young people in such entertainment offerings as the 'Beach Party' and Elvis Presley movies and television fare like 'The Patty Duke Show' and even 'The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis' (in syndication, mind you, NOT the original run).

I recall vividly thinking that 'this is what it's like to be a teenager'.  Your biggest worries would be who to ask to the prom and should you tell your Dad that you scraped the car on the door frame of the garage last Tuesday.

I learned later that life would simply not be quite that romantically glorious nor as blissfully simple.

And, in my 20/20 hindsight, I'm actually GLAD that it isn't!

Is that all there is?

Should the lyrics to David Byrne's song "Heaven" be anywhere close to being true, I for one do not intend to participate.  Not that I don't have every intention of serving my fellow man during my time on the proverbial mortal coil.  But I refuse to believe, as Mother Theresa expressed, that my 'reward' is in heaven or any other imaginary and ethereal place.  And also while I'm here, I intend to fully enjoy the beauty, satisfaction and pleasure that the multitude of earthly wonders provides.

Creation. . .


. . . is a wonderful thing

Through the wonder of digital editing and production, the intro and verse chord structure from a pop tune that Oho covers became the creation that I have posted here.

Reminds me a bit of Santana.

Do brains come along with fame? . . .

. . . As if it isn't bad enough that a baseball player will now be paid $25 million a year, we are actually taking the advice of people who are merely qualified to hit a ball with a stick or play a guitar and sing a song.

Let me be clear, I respect talent. True talent, be it athletic, intellectual or artistic, is a gift and a wonder and truly a benefit to humankind. But, would you actually hire one of Ringling Brothers' clowns to do your taxes or ask a Hollywood actor to counsel you on your marriage?
