Columbus Museum of Art Walkabout for My Quality Time

Just to let you know, not all exhibits are open. Construction/renovation at The Columbus Museum of Art will soon give us:::

 

Using the side entrance today.

Art and Money::: “Money. It is a simple fact of everyday life, as well as, a fundamental principal of our social, political, and economic order. It is a medium of exchange, an index and store of value, and a universal equivalent into which most anything can dissolve. It connects, defines, and divides nations. It is pocket change and dead presidents. It is the key to happiness and the root of all evil. It has no intrinsic value apart from what we’ve given it. Money is an idea, a social contract, and one that depends on frequently-tested collective emotional states like trust, faith, and confidence.” Read More

LookOut Mountain,Rock City, and a Joke

In a previous post/comment June infers I have been picking on women in my joke selection. The following joke should set the record straight and I’ll throw in a few photos of Rock City on Lookout Mountain in Georgia to boot.

Brain Transplant::::

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.

Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber. I’m afraid I’m the bearer of bad news,’ he said as he surveyed the worried faces. ‘The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.

It’s an experimental procedure, semi-risky and you will have to pay for the brain yourselves.’

The family members sat silent as they absorbed the news. After a great length of time, someone asked, ‘Well, how much does a brain cost?’

 The Doctor quickly responded, ‘25,000 for a male brain, and 3,000 for a female brain.’

The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked.

A man, unable to control his curiosity, blurted out the question everyone wanted to ask, ‘Why is the male brain so much more?’

The doctor smiled at the childish innocence and said to the entire group, ‘It’s just standard pricing procedure.

We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because they’ve actually been used.’

My wife Linda and sister Sara having a good time at the gift shop at Rock City. That night we stayed at…

Which is just across the street from Rock City.  The Chanticleer Inn Bed and Breakfast.. accommodations are very pleasant and comfortable; the grounds are immaculate, and the main house is elegant. The food is excellent. Linda and I hope to make a return visit soon.

Larry,Sara,Linda,and myself enjoying the view from the patio at Rock City… Hope you enjoyed the post… (prices at the café are a little steep.. just saying..)

Nostalgia & Nostalgia

Nos·tal·gia   noun

A sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.

1. "I was overcome with acute nostalgia for my days in college"

2. "a nostalgia for traditional values"

   • something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia.

   

“The times you lived through, the people you shared those times with — nothing brings it all to life like an old mix tape. It does a better job of storing up memories than actual brain tissue can do. Every mix tape tells a story. Put them together, and they can add up to the story of a life.” ― Rob Sheffield

“There are a few moments in your life when you are truly and completely happy, and you remember to give thanks. Even as it happens you are nostalgic for the moment, you are tucking it away in your scrapbook.” ― David Benioff

 

“I felt a pang -- a strange and inexplicable pang that I had never felt before.
It was homesickness.
Now, even more than I had earlier when I'd first glimpsed it, I longed to be transported into that quiet little landscape, to walk up the path, to take a key from my pocket and open the cottage door, to sit down by the fireplace, to wrap my arms around myself, and to stay there forever and ever.” ― Alan Bradley,

Nostalgia is a file that removes the rough edges from the good old days. Doug Larson

Joe Todd says,”Have a great day.”
