Hullo, @BadDoggie.

Politics is so depressing today in the US, I opted for humor.

Wild water canoeing was first featured in the 1972 Olympics, and you picked the right word, @LukeSkywalker - it's spectacular

For me the worst of measles was being allowed to read only one chapter a day in my new Bobbsey Twins book. But that was nothing compared to the spring when all three of my children - pre-schoolers - had the measles in turn and we were quarantined; the following spring - the same thing, same children, different disease - all three took turns having chicken pox. This is back in the day when we lived in 56 sq meters and the children were still small, but it got cramped over the 4-week stretches of quarantine.

I have a friend who's worked saving dogs for several years. Recently she posted that her therapist told her she was getting so far absorbed in that good work, it was affecting her mental stability. She was advised to still continue to do good, but without such intense involvement .  Her solution was to get involved in environmental clean-up - no emotions there!. @Namu, it's OK to step away from what you're doing. Take that step when you need to, even if it's just an occasional day off.   

I'm sorry this isn't funny where you are, wherever that is.

Brings back old memories. My car had a bumper sticker that read Question Authority. The winter of 1964 we UC Berkeley students were all singing this song, to the tune of Jingle Bells. Sleeping on the lawn in a double sleeping bag Doesn't get things done. Freedom is a drag. Junk your principles, don't stand up and fight, You won't get democracy if you yell all night. Oski dolls, PomPom girls, UC all the way! Oh what fun it is to have your mind reduced to clay! Civil rights, politics, just get in the way, Questioning authority when you should obey!

  Pondering, or just floundering?

Lord Olivier must have used a lot of old make-up left over from Al Jolson's movie, The Jazz Singer, and he looks just like Jolson.    

Thank you for posting this, @snowingagain.
