RISING TO THE TOP

Babies aren't always bringing up the rear.  Sometimes they are in the lead!  Wowing "top brass in two recent interviews," Sean McVay at just 30 years of age was hired as head coach by the Los Angeles Rams, "making him the youngest head coach in N.F.L. history."      story

I have kind of an Anna Wintour girl crush.  Can't explain it quite.  (Did you see the The First Monday in May?)   Anyway, a little fun and games for you below.  (And can you tell the sweaters apart? ... Oh, you'll see what I mean.)



                                 




Principle in the type:  "You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us.  The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano.  Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before--colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter."    Dieter F. Uchtdorf

I generally like my cash money  --coins, chocolate with gold foil around them.  But I'm also okay with paper note $20 bills, with Harriet Tubman pictured.  "Harriet Tubman and Andrew Jackson lived on opposite sides of the American experience. . . .  Tubman, a black woman, escaped slavery to become a conductor on the Underground Railroad, risking her life to lead slaves to freedom.    news

In a gentle crawl that started in Downey, California, the original Taco Bell taco stand was craned and moved to "corporate headquarters in Irvine . . . saving it from the wrecking ball."  Katie Rispoli from conservation group We Are The Next said, "By saving and conserving structures . . . we hope to set a precedent and demonstrate the great power that can come from unexpected histories in seemingly ordinary places."   story
