As for Shakespeare, I think I'm just a lost cause.

Pity thyself not. Look for Shakespeare in song...

Spill the wine, take that pearl.

Eric Burdon

Stay; give me drink. Hamlet, this pearl is thine;
Here's to thy health.
Give him the cup.

King Claudius Hamlet Act V. Scene II.

Why don't you pass the time by playing a little solitaire?

Not a book, but just read a very touching story

When André Bamberski’s daughter died 30 years ago, he was helpless to save her. Suspicions of murder began to surround her stepfather, a German doctor named Dieter Krombach, yet Bamberski could only hope the truth would prevail. But when the authorities gave up their pursuit, he knew he had to act. So against the odds, Bamberski embarked on an obsessive quest to capture and punish his daughter’s killer. In this riveting true story by Joshua Hammer, a father travels to the limits of the law in search of justice.

Another good story I've read

Can Dead Commies Be Good?

Quote from: The American Conservative

My son Matt has very strong views on communism. He went through a two-year period in which he was deeply interested in Soviet Russia, and read everything he could get his hands on about Soviet history, including Solzhenitsyn’s The Gulag Archipelago. A kid who will read The Gulag Archipelago at 14 is bound to be strong-minded.

I will, Kelley.

I'll be leaving this Saturday and coming home eight days later. It's going to be a great vacation.

And this year the car has a window net and a UHF radio for communication with my pit crew...

Just like NASCAR!

That sounded like a different mix or am I just dizzy from looking at those pictures?

I know you're no fool, no siree.

I think I saw that film in school.

Thank Walt Disney for a series of Jiminy Cricket I'm No Fool films back in the 1950s. They certainly made an impact on me!

That song was familiar right away! We always had the latest films in our school system. LOL But these were good ones, not like some of those ancient Encyclopedia Britannica films. They would always sound weird and break. But I do enjoy watching the ones they have on YouTube! They're a hoot.

We saw them in school (on 16 mm film), on The Walt Disney Show (Sundays at 7:00 PM) and on The Mickey Mouse Club.

Wow, I'm getting dizzy just looking at those stills you posted, Barry. Have fun, and be safe (and careful).

I never saw those Jiminy Cricket films in school, but they look interesting. I was trying to explain the concept of film strips (do you all remember those?) to my kids, and they just didn't get it.
