“You kill three people,
they call you a murderer.
You kill a million people,
they call you a conqueror.
Go figure”

~ John Lithgow
Actor
Born on: 19th October 1945

Porte Ponderings:

Too much “war” in the world with countries committing genocide while claiming self defense. My heart breaks to see the homes demolished, the children maimed and the helpless women unable to find sanctuary. Yet it continues. And I’m lucky enough I can change the channel.

Yes, I actually danced with Chubby Checker! Once at one of his performances at Busch Gardens Tampa. It’s one of the reasons I still love going to Busch Gardens. Their Real Music Series has some of the most amazing performances. ❤

Still no frost. I’m so glad I’m taking Blexen for my allergies.

Despite the lack of frost, the days are getting shorter and the trees are starting to change colour.

“A straw vote
only shows which way
the hot air blows”

Writer and author
Born on: 11th September 1862

September 11th will always be etched on my heart. No not for the twin towers, but for the birth of my first son. He was the joy and hope for new life.
