Books of an era.

Image
 NOT much action on here lately and of course, SNOWY has been absent. I really hope we can have some convo over the following topic because it has been really bringing back memories for me. Here goes: Background: When in my teens and early adulthood I was really into books that spoke to my generation. Some are still popular, some were a fad. Luckily, my highschool was very progressive for the times (60s, 70s), and allowed us students to read just about any material provided two things: That the books we read had SOME social commentary, and we could write about what attracted us, or repelled us. Lately I was on the hunt for a book titled  A Separate Peace by John Knowles  (published 1959) Found a copy on a dusty bookshelf in a 2nd hand book store. Of course books with a social message didn't have to be written in the 60s or 70s, as long as they stimulated our minds and made us think about conditions outside of our personal experience.

Things You Got, And Things You Didn’t

Image
  In school, Bunny never got geometry, other than the area of a simple object.   “Prove this is a triangle.”  “It has three sides.”  “Prove it.”  Screw that.    Math fine, until you left the numbers behind, and went with letters.  Lost at sea. English, history, art, music, no problem for Bunny. What about you?  This can also be life now. J. P. Bunny

Household Chores

  Household chores.  Do you enjoy them?  Don’t like them?  Just something that needs to be done?  Bunny likes cleaning the ceiling lights, but not at a set time, such as end of year cleaning.   Cleaning behind the fridge…leave the dust be. How are you and chores?

Cheesy movies

Image
 I found, on one of my streaming services, The Lords of Flatbush. The Lords of Flatbush  (1974) is  often considered a "cheesy"  or at least a highly nostalgic, low-budget 1970s take on the 1950s, though it is also recognized for its authentic atmosphere and for launching the careers of Sylvester Stallone and Henry Winkler. No doubt about it, this is one cheesy movie. Any OTHER cheesy movies you all fell in love with and are loathe to admit you enjoy watching??

  Most of us here are not young whippersnappers. Our language tends to reflect that.  Have your words caused some to scratch their heads?  The students never knew what Bunny was going on about with record player, phonograph, tape recorder, nifty… Anything you normally use that dates you? J.P. Bunny
