Poor babies in Los Angeles.  We still don't have Hamilton playing in our theaters!  Onward and upward.  Let's celebrate Presidents' Day nonetheless!   Really, officially George Washington's birthday.  Thank you, General Washington.  You'da man!    link

Allowing everyone to have their own influence in policy is, uh, is pretty significant."        Christopher Jackson    (Hamilton's original cast George Washington)

Before there was Bananarama, there was Shocking Blue.  I may not be speaking your language.  No matter.  Great music, either.  Venus.  Girl Power.

I don't know if this makes you feel delighted, or patronized, America.  I kinda like it:

HOPE

Last week the iconic American flag raised at World Trade Center by three firefighters near Ground Zero 15 years ago, was donated to the National 9/11 Memorial & Museum.  DNA testing validated its authenticity as the flag taken from a nearby yacht and flown as a symbol of hope.    news
