and let every new year find you, a better man or woman.”

Don't let today pass without remembering the thousands of men who landed and gave their lives on the sands of Normandy,
The veterans of that war are passing quickly away from us,
Saying hello to a veteran or shaking his or her hand and say thank you.The feeling of pride you will give the veteran will last forever.

Snowed in,Spring Cleaning

OK it maybe to early for some of you to think of spring cleaning,but
winter has a deep hold on us,snowed in,I have started doing some spring cleaning,
right now I am in the process of repainting the guest room,
and trying to go thru the list at the bottom of the page,


Spring cleaning
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
History
It has been suggested that the origins of spring cleaning date back to the Iranian Norouz, the Persian new year, which falls on the first day of spring[citation needed]. This theory has been questioned, however, as Iranians (along with the majority of the population of the ancient near east) held to a lunar calendar and not a solar one and spring was not calculated the same way that society does today. Iranians continue the practice of "khooneh tekouni" which literally means "shaking the house" just before the new year. Everything in the house is thoroughly cleaned, from the drapes to the furniture.
A more likely origin of spring cleaning can be traced to the ancient Jewish practice (a full 700 years before Persian culture emerged) of thoroughly cleansing the home in anticipation of the spring-time holiday of Passover (Hebrew: פסח pesach‎). In remembrance of the Jews' hasty flight from Egypt following their captivity there, during the eight-day holiday there is a strict prohibition against eating anything which may have been leavened. Jews not are not only supposed to refrain from leavened foodstuffs (known in Hebrew as חמץ chametz), they are expressly commanded to rid their homes of even small remnants of chametz for the length of the holiday (Exodus 12:15). Therefore, for the past 3,500 years, observant Jews have conducted a thorough "spring cleaning" of the house, followed by a traditional hunt for chametz crumbs by candlelight (called bedikat chametz [Hebrew: בדיקת חמץ]) on the evening before the holiday begins.
In North America and northern Europe, the custom found an especial practical value due to those regions' continental and wet climates. During the 19th century in America, prior to the advent of the vacuum cleaner, March was often the best time for dusting because it was getting warm enough to open windows and doors (but not warm enough for insects to be a problem), and the high winds could carry the dust out of the house. For the same reason, modern rural households often use the month of March for cleaning projects involving the use of chemical products which generate fumes.

Cultural references
In Greece, and other Orthodox nations, it is traditional to clean the house thoroughly either right before or during the first week of Great Lent, which is referred to as Clean Week.

A Happy New Years


We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched.  Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, but for potential.  ~Ellen Goodman

A happy New Year! Grant that I
May bring no tear to any eye
When this New Year in time shall end
Let it be said I've played the friend,
Have lived and loved and labored here,
And made of it a happy year.
~Edgar Guest

Merry Christmas!

I want to wish all my Blogger Friends a very Merry Christmas,
may you all receive the desires of your hearts,
you are all very very special,
I am sending you a very Merry NYC Christmas,
God Bless you and your families,

Some serious nonsense,Nice cover Kermit!

Some serious nonsense:
Bravo to LCD Sound System,
Nice cover Kermit!

The most fundamental debate in the philosophy of music involves the question of whether there is an artistically important connection between music and the emotions. Many theories of the nature and significance of music as an art form have maintained that at least one important value of music is its capacity to represent, express, communicate, or symbolize a variety of extra-musical emotions or a certain aspect of emotion.
(Music and the Emotions: The Philosophical Theories ,International Library of Philosophy
by Malcolm Budd,Publisher Comments)

Opera is a form of art and music,that never fails to touch me on a deep spiritual level,as well a Pink Floyd,it’s only when the images and music both speak in,inner harmony,
only rarely can popular music do this anymore,
I came across this video,and wanted to share it,
mainly with my family they understand my madness.

Muppets,Jim Henson was and is well loved,Humanitarian, muppeteer, producer and director of films that encourage tolerance, interracial values, equality and fair play,and when combined with a serious matter,it seems to take it straight to the heart so
without further over analyzing,
LCD Sound Systems will touch many a NY’er with this one,
Thanks for this piece, love the song,chosen character,and where it is filmed.
well done,
I can smile and cry at the same time,
