It was a Lovely Cruise..... Top Story - September 2023.
Like the rest of the world, I woke up Saturday morning to the devastating news that Jimmy Buffett had died. I was in shock - total disbelief. My best friend and Buffett loving sister-from-another-mother had texted to give me the sad news. Had he been ill? I wondered, mentally chastising myself for not keeping abreast of Buffett news.

Mr. Sunshine
This first encounter with a Korean drama created a lifetime fan. A dynamic period piece set during the late Joseon Dynasty with an amazing screenplay, costumes, cinematography, and casting. This film weaves the tale of a beautiful, complicated love affecting the lives of several well-defined characters. A masterful, absorbing film.

I saw you in the snow from far away Your glow was fair and keen Your will to stay and play Did defy the wind gust of the day.

From an orb far and new, In the dawn you come to me With a vibe as pure as dew. I cast my hand into the air And feel the lure of you.

Love to Requite
Love is pure, fair, and calm When it buds out of the blue. It will fill our life in such a way Like the morn and its dew.
