Stunning!

Revisado: 09-20-23

Stunning…in ways too numerous to cover here but…. What a gift we have been given by Mr. Egan as he has carefully researched and now tells us the verifiable history and impact of the KKK. In doing so, he tells of not only the past but also the future of our nation if recent governance by the modern GOP continues untamed by citizens, including moderate Republicans, who can and must save the nation from a return to our horrible past. Thank you, Timothy Egan, for your work.

Thank you for the beautiful respite from the ‘noise’

Revisado: 07-14-23

The reader’s voice bringing the author’s words to life carries awe and wonderings about meaning, artistry, the lives of all who created, ‘guarded’ and viewed an exhibit. Some of the pieces I’ve seen and could revisit in my mind…a gift. Thank you, Mr. Bringley, for sharing your words, thoughts, life and helping me to think beyond the art on the walls at any museum.

A Loving Story of Love and the Final Goodbye

Revisado: 06-14-22

A touching, heartfelt story about a couple deeply in love who deal forthrightly with the effect of an Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Amy Bloom, the wife and author, relates the trials, emotions and challenges of the decision of her husband, Brian, to end his life before his dementia worsens. The role of Dignitas, in Zurich, is explained and serves as the organization that will allow Brian Ameche to end his life peacefully and on his own terms. It makes one wonder why people need to go to Switzerland to die on their own terms when facing the possibility of living a long life with dementia.

Doctor with open eyes and full heart tells all of us…

Revisado: 04-04-22

…the truth of our likely path to and through elderhood. I’ve traveled this myself while in and through parents and grandparents. Aronson speaks the truth and offers us the opportunity to prepare ourselves and our loved ones proactively, forsaking denial, embracing reality.

Imagine!

Have enjoyed learning the backstory of a song I’ve loved concurrent with my own journey and The Beatles, then Lennon-Ono and John’s assassination.

Fascinating history of fathers and daughters together at the end of WWII

Revisado: 08-26-21

The book is a wonderful tapestry of the intersection of political leaders and their daughters at the Yalta Conference near the end of World War II. Well-researched and exceptionally well narrated, the book is an important coda following “Citizens of London” that established the inter-relatedness of the young women. The event marked the pinnacle for each daughter with their respective fathers: Franklin D. Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Averill Harriman. This book captures the essence and closeness of father and daughter at a critical meeting otherwise attended by diplomats and military leaders. Such a fortuitous coincidence that we see the personal along with the historical.
A masterful book.

Should be required reading

Revisado: 08-20-21

I decided to read 1-2 books about the DJT presidency and this is my first, chosen due to my respect for the work of the authors. I pay close attention to national politics and have for 60 years, for many reasons. Have read a book or two about lots of presidents in an effort to understand more in depth the complicated situations in history faced by various presidents. Given that the subject of this book continues to crave the limelight and inserts himself into public life to keep his name and brand front and center as he plans to be a candidate again, this book should be part of our nation’s ‘never forget’ promise to the Constitution we must uphold.

We ask a lot…

Revisado: 07-16-21

of our military and security professionals. I know of several who have lost a lot of the ‘life’ I take for granted—stability, ignorance of serious, even life or nation-threatening situations, the ‘bliss’ my ignorance enables. I’m grateful for this story and for the women and men who accept the responsibility, make the sacrifices and pursue their goals without losing their souls.
