We Need To Calm Down

There is so much venom out on the web. Reading comments is something that can break your heart. We all need to calm the “F” down, including me. We let our opinions get the best of our better angels, which is not good. Then some people don’t give a damn about feelings and will post something that will do great harm to someone else. Maybe let’s just take a breath and think twice before saying something that will do great damage. Let there be peace on the interwebs.

(PS: Now, I believe that there are some things you must speak out about, and in that action, it might require stepping on toes.)

The Alan Rickman Holiday Film Festival

Die Hard is a Christmas movie. Now that I have gotten that out of the way, the common bond between Die Hard and Love Actually is the late Alan Rickman. What happens with Alan Rickman’s character in Love Actually impacts what happens to his character in Die Hard. Tonight is a double feature and the best way to see both films during the season.

Mindfulness Monday

Do something to help others during the Holidays. Be the good you want to see in the world. Your neighbors will appreciate you for it.

Celebrating Hanukkah

We aren’t Jewish but we reverently appreciate Hanukkah for the spiritual and historic elements to it. These days there needs to be more light and more miracles. May G-d be with us all in these days. Chag Sameach. Shalom.

The Second Sunday of Advent – Peace

The second week of Advent is the message of peace. The understanding of the word “peace” is limited to worldly peace – the absence of war or conflict. But the word peace – as proclaimed by the angels to the shepherds at the birth of Jesus – has a much more spiritual significance. Happy Advent to all celebrating.

My New Glasses Are Here

My new spectacles came in and I like them very much. Still in my nerdy style. I’m rocking the old school lined bifocals like one does who likes retro stuff. It will take some getting used to though.
