Day 4406: Bullies and Heroes

I’ve been thinking about bullies and heroes this week. It’s been challenging to find the heroes along the bullies, who tend to get the attention and the press coverage.

Let’s see which bullies and heroes show up in this blog post.

I wonder what I’ll find when I search for “bullies and heroes” on YouTube.

What are your thoughts and feelings about bullies and heroes?

Thanks to all who showed up for this bullies-and-heroes post, including YOU.

Day 3405: Best Things

When I looked at my images for today, I decided that the best thing to call today’s post was “Best Things.” Do you agree?

Mothers are the best things but let’s not force women into being mothers, okay?

One of the best things about today is that I’m finally getting to see Jacob Collier in concert after a COVID-related delay of two years!

This is what I find on YouTube when I search for “Jacob Collier best things.”

What are you thoughts and feelings about best things?

Gratitude is the best thing for me to focus on these days, so thanks to all who help me create this daily blog, including YOU!

Day 2092: What’s in the details?

Some people say “The devil is in the details.”

Others say “God is in the details.”

Oprah has said, “Love is in the details.”

I have said, “Details, details!” and have written Day 1988: It’s all in the details.

What’s in the details of my photos from yesterday?

Here’s a detail about my creating my daily blog posts: I often  spend a devil of a time on the details of my photo layouts.

My friend Deb noticed a detail in this sign at the Opera House yesterday:

Because we were at a matinee of Hamilton,  which was during the day, the restrictions about “tonight’s performance” did not apply.  However, if we had used our cell phones, photographed, or recorded, there would have been the devil to pay.

Here’s a detail about yesterday’s performance: when Hamilton and Lafayette sang “Immigrants — we get the job done!” the audience cheered.

When I look to YouTube for examples of that line, the details on many videos of Hamilton‘s” Yorktown”  indicate that copyrights might prevent them from lasting in this post. I think the angels of  the internet might allow these to stay (here and here on YouTube).

I look forward to the details in your comments.

Detailed thanks to all who helped me create today’s post and — of course! — to YOU.
