Sorry the posts are later this week but I still haven’t adjusted to the time change. I sleep later, because it’s actually an hour earlier to me than the clock says, therefore I get around to writing the post later.
Yesterday’s 3 minute sketch. I haven’t been sketching lately, so I grabbed my book and forced myself to sketch what was right in front of me.
A belated Rest in Peace to Bobby Caldwell, a great singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, who wrote one of my favorites songs back in the late seventies: What You Won’t Do for Love. I used to have the record in my collection and a few years back something jogged my memory and I realized I missed hearing it. So I downloaded it to my play list and I listen to it often. He was only 71 and had a lingering terrible illness due to an antibiotic that had been incorrectly prescribed to him and was toxic. A terrible tragedy that could have been avoided.
Don and I watched several videos of him performing on YouTube last night. Heavens, he was good. His singing voice was unbelievably fine. Don couldn’t get over how good he was.
Rest in Peace, Bobby. You will be missed.
Also, if you have watched the series Luther, starring Idris Elba, there is a new Luther movie out on Netflix. It’s called Luther: The Fallen Sun. We watched it last night and, boy oh boy, it’s great! Completely riveting from start to finish. I recommend it highly.
I’ll occasionally highlight some of my egg cups over the next two weeks. This group sits on top of the egg cup cubby. The large cups are from the Harlequin line by Homer Laughlin, the same company that made Fiesta. In fact, I consider them the sister line to Fiesta. They have the same art deco feel, but they’re more angular than Fiesta. A couple of these were gifts, and a couple were found by me while out and about.
The little cups in front were a gift from my friend Judy. I find them utterly charming. “What came first, the chicken or the egg?” Love, love them.
I’m feeling better today, so I’ll be reading the script for Murder on the Orient Express. And doing laundry, etc.
Yes, I’m a quarter Irish, but St. Patrick’s Day is no big deal for me. I’ve never purposely worn green on this day. But if it is a big deal for you, have fun!
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
