Alaska bear cub in grocery store

This is a grocery store just a few blocks from where I work. Saturday afternoon, a little bear came in and climbed around in the produce. Poor little guy....he is way too small for this time of year and won't make it on his own.

Political Satire on Social Security in the US

Well here's a new idea for social security reform!

Been sooo busy

Hello fellow bloggers!  Sorry it has been so long since my last post.  We have had a VERY busy September at the Civic Center where I work.  Many conferences and always short-staffed.  So hard to find staff!

During my hectic weeks I often think of things to blog but have just been too busy.  I hope to get some of these thoughts on posts soon. 

Until then, enjoy Jape.  I just love the sound of it and the video is fun.  There is a drug reference "we took our first pill when the music was Fish", and I think the song is the description of the way the drug (probably Ecstasy) made him feel. 

However, I think that ---drugged or not---the band does create a piece of art (the song) that conveys and draws you in to the way it felt....like floating.  Listening to this song...  "how tiny we are girl, how tiny we are"...I can float without the chemical assistance.  :)

Miss him!

Even in the Quietest Moments

It seems to me that most of today's music (not all!  I know there is still some heartfelt stuff out there) is just showcasing...posing...trying to get the most attention. 

Here is a wonderful example of an immensely talented man who just lets his innermost thoughts pour out musically.  You can just feel his heart.  What a thing it must be to touch so many with the baring of your soul.

Commentary and Art Together in a Music Video

Yoav.  

I love this song.  Yoav is so different...so original. 

This video is a bit visually challenging. 

Would love to hear your comments.
