TRIAL LAWYERS: THE SCOURGE OF AMERICA Funny cartoon: except for the chance that we may soon see this case in court on behalf of all birds. It would not be much of a stretch from what goes on in the tort and class action worlds of litigation. Have you noticed how publicly accessible facilities...
I was clueless about what to do after high school. Although I had taken courses (including two years of Latin) to prepare for college, I waited until I'd graduated to even think about applying. Fortunately, Holland was a college town and Hope college was a Reformed Church college so all I had to do...
As many know Martin Luther King Jr. was indeed a leader. And he's mentioned many times in history for this acts. But what about the other people? What about the other leaders that helped Martin Luther King Jr. in his quest for equality? There are others involved with the Civil Rights Movement, so...
Well we have moved. Sort of. The removal men turned up yesterday and diligently packed everything I couldn't be arsed to. Unlike last time (I think it must be a weekday thing) they didn't seem in a rush and sent two guys who seemed to mostly do international jobs in Italy. We talked a lot about so...
Saturday morning Connie, Aaron, Susan, Art, Belle, D and I met for breakfast. It was supposed to be lunch and maybe that was so for everyone else but it didn't hold true for me, who was sick from being up so early. We met at Kitchen 24, which is a new restaurant in Hollywood. I thought it was okay...
OK folks. Same deal: Bold for books I've read. Underlined for books I've read and loved. Italics for books I mean to read. Crossed through for books I have no intention of ever reading. Here goes: THE EDUCATION OF HENRY ADAMS by Henry Adams THE VARIETIES OF RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE by William James UP...

I have finally gotten around to taking some photos of the slab-constructed sculpture I've been working on for several months. This is my first slab piece, and it's been an adventure! The piece is based on a Henry Moore sculpture he did in the '40s. One of his many, many works entitled 'Mother and...
The name.Mary Franzine Cuyno Artista. Nicks? Lots. But I usually go by the nickname Peewee and it has then mutated to various forms such as Peews, Piyoy, Fifi, Fofee. There was sometime people actually called me Mary and (eekk!!) Franzine. God help. Now, I cringe when someone calls me by either of...

I recently picked up a used copy of 1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die. As the title would suggest, it features essays on 1,001 books that the editors have chosen as important or essential reading. The book is fundamentally flawed as it features eleven selections by J.M. Coetzee and only two by...
Age is no guarantee of maturity. - Lawrence Blackwell Science may set limits to knowledge, but should not set limits to imagination. - Bertrand Russell You have to know how to accept rejection and reject acceptance. - Ray Bradbury (Advice To Writers) No one else can speak the words on your lips,...
I found this slideshow while searching for something else. I think it's a wonderful comparison of Henry Moore and the African and Pre-Columbian sculpture that he drew his inspiration from. (Too bad there's no mention of the book these images were scanned from.) Click here to see more of slideshow.
