What a beautiful day here in sunny, cloudless Cleveland! I’ve spent the past two days working on reorganizing my home office space because after a while it just has to be done! Still a lot to do but feeling good about life, as most organizing can make you feel. Not that I try it often enough!
Anyway, I set aside some time to surf for interesting blogs and websites. Came up with a few I bookmarked, and thought you wonderful readers (and I do appreciate you!) might find them useful as well.
First up is a company that restores photos. I have inherited seven scrapbook-style photo books from my parents. The Army apparently used to provide (or you could purchase) beautifully carved photo books to store your memories. I have two of those. Many of the photos in all of the books are in wonderful condition but there are a few I would love to have restored. If you’ve thought about it too, you might want to check out Scan Cafe. They provide before and after looks at photos, and talk about how they do their work.
The Lower Manhattan site talks about progress on Freedom Tower/One World Trade Center. Once you get on their site you can click on more links to get more in depth about Freedom Tower. I found reading about it very uplifting.
I tried the daily floss on Mental Floss. The site is pretty cool, with great links and mind-challenging content. Nothing worse than a bored mind so this might be fun lol.
The New York Times has a list of books on Abraham Lincoln, with a lot of new entries commemorating his 200th Birthday. This quote from William Safire’s article is enough to make me want to read more than one:
Though a member of no church, Lincoln meditated profoundly on the inscrutable justice of God. Though a family man and a forgiving soul, he refused to attend his own father’s funeral. And despite his modest protestation that he was controlled by events, the best of the Lincoln literature of our time reveals that his strong-willed decisions were driven by the unwavering political purpose of his life.
Were you ever up at night wondering how the opening chord on A Hard Day’s Night was constructed? I admit I wasn’t kept awake by it, but love the chord anyway. Here is Great Unsolved Mysteries in Rock Music on the Guitar Today website.
I think it’s time for a walk around the neighborhood. Happy browsing! Peace Out – 3C
