Quirky rhythms

Sometimes you see something a bit different, and think "Huh, now that is kind of unusual, and fun in it's own quirky kind of way."  I am certain many of you may already be familiar with this work.  Some of us - me, in this case! - are just slower that others!

In that light, I offer you ... a typewriter symphonic arrangement.   :)

Wine pairing infographic

I confess:  I enjoy a glass of wine on occasion.  However, I am a complete novice: which wine complements certain types of food?  Well, wouldn't you know it - a wine pairing infographic!

Casey still strikes out

A fun wrap-up to the week

On June 3, 1888, the San Francisco Examiner published a 575-word baseball poem written Ernest Thayer entitled "Casey at the Bat." It was a poem about a fictional player on a fictional team in a fictional town, but in the 125 years since its release, it has become part of baseball history -- a lesson about the need to be humble, something that goes far beyond baseball.   (CBSSports.com)

Listen to a recording of Johnny Bench (yes, the all-star catcher) and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra recite the poem.  Enjoy!
