Telling tales from around the world
You could argue that this has been photoshopped past being a photograph, and I wouldn’t argue. But what I like about was what you see – all those lines, on the palm frond, their stems, the windows, the smaller palms feathering up from below… I am pretty sure these are the very palms that wafted breezes past Cleopatra as she sweltered in the scorching Egyptian sun. Their life is a tad easier these days…
Thirteen used to be my lucky lucky number, ever since I was 7 and put a dime on the wheel at a church bazaar and it won - and I walked away with a cool $1.30 which was a considerable amount when you think a Nestlé's Crunch Bar cost five cents.
But I've got to rethink it... this year's been crap - troubles, illness, heartbreak... I'm half thinking those half-crazed Mayans might have been half right - though I don't half know about what.
Taking suggestions for sure-fire cures for angst, ennui, hospital stays, strict diets and other people. And any other good advice is always welcome.
Didn't get the palomino I was hoping for in 2012, definitely no Nestle's Crunch in 2013. What do I want from this year??? From the OTHER half of this year...

How strange. I was thinking about Cleopatra’s eyeliner (as depicted in all of the movies) just a bit earlier. Great minds and all that . . .

Zeitgeist! Things fall into the aether and we just reach out and snatch them!
And if you ever wondered if that was true – just look at trends in baby names…
