Moogie's Blog

overwhelming sense on the Vineyard is that fussing too strenuously with one's external, physical self is shallow, almost sinful.
Not long after the trip to Martha's Vineyard, I met Carmen Dell'Orefie. Carmen is today's only well-known white-haired model. She did her first cover shoot for Vogue in 1947 at age sixteen. She quit coloring her hair in 1973, at forty-two. Carmen seems to have wisdom. "It took me half my life to begin to know myself and the second half of my life to be true to what I know of myself -- which is that I'm authentically screwy." Carmen staggered me with her energy and joie de vivre. On the day we spoke, she wore jeans, a crisp white shirt, little makeup, and her white hair pulled back into a ponytail. Carmen became another talismanic ideal -- if only I could be half as self-aware as she at seventy-six, I would be a happy woman. Happy New Year.

i am reading an interesting book about a woman named Nancy Lancaster. born in Virgina in the 1890s, her aunts married well and the family was of the upper crust. nancy married an englishman named Tree and for a period while in her twenties was living on manner houses in the fox hunting regions of england. while she was decorating one estate known as Kelmarsh, she favored no color or "elephant's breath". wanting to know what elephant's breath might be, i found a link to the Landscape Heritage Plan at UC Berkeley in a reference to the desired color of trash containers-- elephant's breath. http://www.cp.berkeley.edu/lhp/about/index.htmlIt would be interesting to learn more about this Landscape plan. Perhaps someone other than huell howser can investigate and can create a televisable program. yes that would be interesting.

Moogie! I was pondering whether I want to ride a motorcycle. I'll probably ponder until I die! yet I do not want to die on a motorcycle. Christopher Reeve probably would not have ridden a horse had he known where he'd end up. So you like the kawasaki 1000? I read about it in Popular Mechanics. It is a fine machine! I am surprised no one has responded with praise for the Honda motorcycles. Sure I would be interested in learning more about the Landscape heritage plan at UC Berkeley. I was listening to the Today show on Sunday morning. I am disappointed by the script-- which seems to use the standard way of phrasing sentences that maybe all NBC News groups use. It seems so familiar that it annoys me. I am certain I hear the same expressions too often for it to be anything other than repetitive dialogue. Anyone who knows the facts about news writing please respond. I'm also happy Jillian is on tv again.

Hi beepbeep! Happy New Year, all good things to you!

Yes, Al, that kawasaki is good looking, but how about that motoguzzi??? Who knew? I don't know if its the bike, or just the scenery. My sister is a honda partisan, but she doesn't blog (yet). I am also suprised at the lack of harley partisans. This week I heard of another bike, a Vegas. I haven't seen one.

Happy New Year Chosen One's!!! I can't wait to come down with the Lord of Hosts to defend you from all your oppressors! What a great day that will be!! See you on the Mount.

Happy Ramadan Moogie.

And may you have a very healthy, prosperous, and peaceful New Year :-)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
