Renaissance Rebunzzle! The Wonders of Renaissance!

Happy Birthday to William Shatner!!! 

     He is so nice!  When I managed an Italian restaurant in LA, in 2002, he and his wife came in just a bit earlier, to see if we could serve them before the dinner schedule began.  I stated, I was pretty sure, but I needed to check with the chef.  Long story short, the chef, Ace agreed, and we served them, before our dinner time began.  

     Mr. Shatner thanked me, and insisted on giving me a $50 bill, because he stated it was thanks to me, he and his wife got to enjoy a wonderful, delicious dinner, without people (fans) chiming in.  He and his wife were so friendly and nice! 

     Considering he's now 94; but still SO KIND! 

     I added this bit, because I think it's a contributing action to Renaissance!  

     Thank you, William Shatner! 

     Now y'all can read on...

A Look Back- Nearly 13 Years Later!

       Was looking over old posts and found this one.  Now, 13 years later.  Still doing good.  Hope you enjoy.

Did some editing... but probably not enough... 

     Nearly 13 years ago, I found out that my services would soon not be wanted or needed.  I was being "given the boot"; "getting the hatchet"; fired; terminated; ...let go.

     The company will remain nameless, as I do not wish to deprecate them; nor do I wish to advertise for them.

     It was my day off, and I went in for a planning meeting of an upcoming holiday.  I was then informed of another meeting with two of my supervisors.  Foolishly, I thought it might mean that I was getting the rest of my annual raise.  I got into my supervisor's car and was driven to another nearby locale; an upscale public hotel lobby to meet with the other.  I was then told that I had not developed the way they had hoped.  According to them, I had failed to demonstrate leadership.  I had not updated a checklist to their satisfaction.  In a nutshell, they told me, I was "just not a good fit".

Ho! Ho! Ho! Have a Great Holiday!

     Please be sure to contribute, Right over here, just up a bit---> 

   I greatly appreciate, since I spend a good bit of time and effort with each post, book, screenplay, recipe, I write and create.  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Now...

     Ho! Ho! HO! 

13 Reasons Witches Rock! Great Recipe Added!!!

     Here is a post I share every year for Halloween!  

     Witches will always have my utmost admiration and respect.  

Happy Halloween!

What We Can Learn From This Photo

Photo by photographer Martin Le-May

I am still in awe over the photographer, Martin Le-May's ability to capture this image.

You learn after reading a bit that this wasn't a case of mismatched pals on a joy flight; the weasel was attacking the woodpecker, hoping for a meal.  The quoted wildlife expert explained, "the female weasel weighs less than a Mars Bar, but is ferocious as a lion."

WOW!

I think there's a lot of inspiration to be taken, given the facts.


From the Woodpecker's perspective:

~Never underestimate the element of surprise.

~Know your assets; don't be afraid to use them.

~ Cute and cuddly (as is "pretty" or "handsome") are descriptions of the physical; not the character.

~When in doubt, go for the loop de loop.  Weasel vomit washes off.

~When you see a chance, take it. 

~Never give up; it's not over until it's over.

~Do whatever it takes to fly another day.

From the Weasel's perspective:

~Know what you want, and go after it.

~Hold onto your dreams.

25 Things You'll Need to Know After High School! Wise Words for 2024!

     This post was of the Ann Landers column of The Chicago Tribune.  I think it was written by Esther "Eppie" Lederer; whose pen name was Ann Landers.  She was the twin sister of Pauline Phillips, who was of Dear Abby!

     Though it was written in 1997, twenty seven years later, I think it’s still important for each and everyone to know!

    Enjoy!
