    What do you wish you could do more every day?

    We could write poetry.

    World Poetry Day is celebrated every year on March 21, celebrating a linguistic expression that people from all cultures can identify with. Poetry can be found in the history of every nation, and brings us together under shared values and common humanity. The most basic of poems have the power to stir dialogue. 

    From one of my favorite short stories -Alyosha The Pot

  • Bird Brained

    When it comes to speech, parrots have the gift of gab. And the way the brains of small parrots known as budgerigars bestow this gift is remarkably similar to human speech, researchers report March 19 in Nature. 

    So far, budgerigars are the only animals known to have language-producing centers akin to those in humans

    I swear half of the bird brains speak the English language much better than us.

  • When I Was Younger

    Is doubly redundant as we have always been younger.

    Every picture I look at myself I am more innocent, less cynical.

    That’s why I like hanging out with the grandkids

  • The Danger of Voice Recognition

    What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?

    Humor sometimes.

    I was writing an essay yesterday.

    The first paragraph is my writing.

    The second must have picked up by a phone conversation in the other room mixed with one with my son in Berlin.

    There was a social event in our neighborhood that I didn’t really want to go to. It was a meeting where we argued over large subjects such as how many trees to plant in the park and what vendor we should hire to refill the dogs poop bags. Our agenda today was to check the speed bumps over on Lincoln Road.

    Hey, are you home? Call go how was the flight? How long was it? That’s not bad. How much did that cost you? Just just curious what do you remember? What airline are you serious? No wow that’s pretty cool. That was she says on the phone with her friend from Connecticut
