1. Reflections
A. Cynthia, my beautiful bride, and I spent a rare weekend apart.
She was away, adding to her ever-increasing repertoire of dance skills
(see also Section 12A) . . . she is now studying something known
as JourneyDance and is very excited about how she can incorporate
this material into what she already does.
To quote from the website:
JourneyDance™ is a playful and intuitive method of using movement
to discover and celebrate our inner strengths. We are all dancers, emotion
in motion. We cleanse our bodies and minds with sweat and breath,
laughter and prayer. We discover the anatomy of the soul. We feel
our power and aliveness. We learn to love ourselves. We find balance
and blessings. We become bright, shining, radiant.
For more information, please click:
http://www.journeydance.com/
***** DON'T FORGET *****
If your company and/or organization is looking for a dynamic
program, please keep Cynthia in mind . . . she'd also be a
natural for conventions . . . she has run similar events for
groups throughout New Jersey and Pennsylvania and has
always gotten rave reviews . . . your best bet to reach her
is via email: cgreenfield1001@aol.com.
B. I missed Cynthia, of course . . . it just wasn't the same seeing
things myself, though that said, I nevertheless caught a fine
production of HOSPITALITY SUITE (732.873.2710) at the Villagers
Theatre in Somerset, NJ.
This is a play written by Roger Rueff about three salesmen who
gather in a hotel room to throw a cocktail party for prospective
buyers . . . it is both provocative and witty, and Derek Mazukiewicz
and Arian Stein shined in their roles . . . however, it was the
work of Jeff Dworkin--who also serves as operations vice
president for Villagers--that blew me away . . . his performance
as the harsh, cocky veteran was as good as any I've seen
in community theater.
My only regret is that you won't be able to see this show yourself
because I caught it on the last night of the run . . . yet do look
for the DVD version of Rueff's show: THE BIG KAHUNA . . . it stars
Kevin Spacey and Danny DeVito, and if you can find it, you'll enjoy it.
Also, make sure you try to catch upcoming shows at the
Villagers Theatre . . . I've seen several there and have never
been disappointed . . . up next is Rodgers & Hammerstein's
CINDERELLA from June 1-24, followed by TAPE from
June 29-July 15 . . . for more information, please click:
http://www.villagerstheatre.com
Naturally, I also had to catch a movie--or three . . . see
Section 4A for my review of BLACK BOOK, one of the best
films I've seen in quite some time.
And I got to spend some time with my mother . . . she is presently
in the Mary Manning Walsh Home in New York City, undergoing
rehab for her fractured hip . . . she's managing to hang in there and
has regained her appetite (a good sign) . . . I'm a bit concerned that
her short-term memory seems to have taken a vacation; hopefully,
she'll regain that in the not-too-distant future . . . yet it is amazing
to speak to her and listen to all that she can remember, including
the phone number of her home when she was a young child!
C. As you've seen in previous issues:

D. CONGRATULATIONS to my following three readers/friends:

now headed to national competition on June 3;

Pa. Assoc. of Developmental Educators, was named outstanding
chapter by the national association; and
* Diana Loreman, recently named library director at the
Manor College Basileiad Library in Jenkingtown, PA.
***** BLAINESWORLD BEST AWARD *****
This week, it goes to Shawn White (908.256.2999)--head
of New Ambiance a company out of Bridgewater, NJ that provides
excellent work in such areas as interior and exterior painting,
sheetrock repair, faux finishing, and wallpaper removal.
We recently used Shawn's company when we had a minor
leak in our kitchen . . . the work was done quickly and
reasonably, as well as meticulously.
Afterwards, Shawn refinished our deck . . . I was particularly
impressed with how thorough he was . . . he actually came
back the next day after the job was finished to make sure
it came out just right.
I imagine his work ethic comes in large part from his dad
Mark . . . his firm is White Speed Construction (908.240.2507),
also in Bridgewater . . . that's the firm that has helped
get our house into its current great shape.
Mark has installed wood flooring, made an area for our cats,
put in extra lights in the kitchen, and done a variety of
smaller, fix-it type repairs.
If you want quality work done, I'd strongly recommend contacting
either Shawn or Mark White.

FIVE GOOD MINUTES IN THE MORNING (see also Section 4C)
by Jeffrey Brantley and Wendy Millstone
FYI, part 2
* Maria in Pennsylvania:
A friend of mine, Susan Kennedy, is going to try to break the world record
for jump roping--more than 27 hours!
By doing so she hopes to raise money and awareness for Alzheimer's.
Her mom suffers from the disease. (As you know, so does my
mother-in-law.)
Susan is 43, a Doylestown mom of four, volunteer, business owner, etc.
and wanted to show how easy, cheap and fun exercise can be--and tie it
into the idea of healthy body, healthy mind at any age.
Because she has always loved to jump rope, her 8-year-old son thought
it would be great if she tried to set the world record. She’s been practicing
in her garage when she kids go to school for up to 8 hours at a time.
She will be jumping for the World Record at The Solebury Club on Rte. 263
at 413, from 6 a.m. Thursday, May 31, to at least 9 a.m. Friday, June 1.
To help cheer her on, the club will host a 24-hour Open House, with
appetizers, drinks, music and games from 6-8 p.m. Thursday night
where you can learn more about the club, the disease and jumping!
And if you want to join that night, the club will donate 50% of the
initiation fee to the Alzheimer’s Association.
Please come and support Susan--and keep me company, especially
in the middle of the night!
Susan will also be at First Friday Doylestown, at State and Hamilton Streets
on June 1, from 6:30-9 p.m., leading group jumps and signing photos.
She’s right next to the tents for the Alzheimer’s Association and the
Bucks County Jazz Fest, which also benefits Alzheimer’s. So there will be
incredible jazz music, as well as a juggler and a kick-a-thon by karate kids.
You can also donate by going to:
http://www.firstfridaydoylestown.com
and clicking on Alzheimer’s Association.
* Jean in Pennsylvania:
Are you a successful alumnus of Bucks County Community College
who attended BCCC for at least a year? Would you like to share your
story about how Bucks influenced your life and career?
If so, please contact Jean Dolan at dolanj@bucks.edu or 215.968.8094.
We might use your comment and photo as a testimonial in our
credit-course brochure or college catalog. This is strictly voluntary;
as a nonprofit institution, we cannot pay you for use of your comments
or image. But you'd be helping your alma mater build its reputation
as a college of excellence. From a fellow alumna (Class of ’87),
thank you in advance!
* Betty in New York:
On you review of AWAY FROM HER, I just need to comment on your
interpretation of the nursing home in the movie being portrayed as "idyllic."
Apart from the fact that the writer/director Sarah Polley is one of my
favorite actresses and only 27 years old, I think the facility (Meadowbrook?)
was shown in the light that it should have been. Due to the fact that it was
so painful for the husband to part with his wife, the home never looked
idyllic in his eyes. Yet we get to see glimpses of all versions of the
assisted living facility.
Firstly, we see it in the administrator's eyes, during the tour ("Look,
we get plenty of natural light") and then we see it in his eyes. Clearly
not ideal.
However, it is Kristy (the nurse who befriends him) who reaches out
to him that makes the place warm. Also, it is a sad truth in our society
that when our elderly become frail and sick, we feel that we are incapable
of serving them ourselves.
It's quite clear that Alzheimer's is a disease that requires expert
psychological attention. It is one of the only diseases you can think of
that affects the family of the patient more than it effects the actual
patient. I hate to mention the fact that the movie took place in Canada
where they have socialized medicine. Is it possible that their system
is just better in general?
I hope that when award season rocks around, Polley gets the attention
she deserves--unlike that lavish attention that was heaped on Sofia
Coppola when she directed LOST IN TRANSLATION.
* Sharee in Florida:
I have a neighbor who is struggling with quitting smoking and I would
LOVE to have a copy of the book [THE EASY WAY TO STOP
SMOKING by Allen Carr] for her. They just found 4 nodes on her lungs,
and she is undergoing tests to see if she actually has lung cancer.
Thank you for providing such wonderful news in your newsletter.
MY OFFER REMAINS:
As it turns out, I still have a few copies left of Carr's excellent
book . . . if you'd like a FREE COPY--with my compliments--for
yourself, a friend or loved one, please let me know . . . your best bet
is to send an email to: bginbc@aol.com . . . put these words in the
subject line: STOP SMOKING BOOK . . . then in body of the email,
include your full name and address.
I only request that if you plan to give the book to somebody else
that you first check with that person to see if he or she actually
wants it and would be willing to read it, say within a month . . . you
can even tell them that they can continue to smoke during that
time . . . otherwise, I've found that giving the book to somebody
who doesn't want it makes you come across as little more than a pest.

3. Shopping
Linda Burnett, 23, a resident of San Diego, was visiting her in-laws and
while there went to a nearby supermarket to pick up some groceries.
Several people noticed her sitting in her car with the windows rolled up and
with her eyes closed with both hands behind the back of her head.
One customer who had been at the store for a while became concerned
and walked over to the car. He noticed that Linda's eyes were now open,
and she looked very strange. He asked her if she was okay, and Linda
replied that she'd been shot in the back of the head, and had been
holding her brains in for over an hour.
The man called the paramedics, who broke into the car because the
doors were locked and Linda refused to remove her hands from her
head. When they finally got in, they found that Linda had a wad of
bread dough on the back of her head.
A Pillsbury biscuit canister had exploded from the heat, making a
loud noise that sounded like a gunshot, and the wad of dough hit her
in the back of her head. When she reached back to find out what it
was, she felt the dough and thought it was her brains. She initially passed
out, but quickly recovered and tried to hold her brains in for over an hour
until someone noticed and came to her aid.
Linda is a blonde and a Republican, but I'm certain that's irrelevant.
MY TWO CENTS:
Don't shoot the messenger . . . that was the original ending as I received
it, but if it really bums you, consider substituting either of the following
as a last line:
* Linda is a redhead and a Democrat, but I'm sure that's irrelevant.
* Linda is a brunette and a Libertarian, but I'm sure that's irrelevant.

4. Reviews
A. The actor Sebastian Koch can do no wrong--at least in my
opinion . . . several months ago, I saw him in THE LIVES OF OTHERS,
and he was fantastic in it . . . it was my favorite film, so far, of the year;
i.e., until I saw his latest: BLACK BOOK . . . it is as good, if not
even better . . . an old-fashioned melodrama, it will remind you
of a the days when Humphrey Bogart battled would battle the
world to win the heart of Lauren Bacall . . . here, Koch is a Nazi
officer who becomes smitten with a Jewish singer (an equally fine
Carice Van Houten) . . . she originally befriends him to get information
to fellow resistance fighters . . . but their relationship leads to an
improbable love story amidst much bloodshed . . . along the way,
there are many twists and turns that will keep you guessing about the
outcome until the very end . . . don't be put off by the subtitles; you'll be
blown away by BLACK BOOK . . . rated R.
B. MUSIC AND LYRICS is now out in DVD format . . . my review
from BLAINESWORLD #542 follows:
Enjoyed MUSIC & LYRICS, a romantic comedy that works
because you care about the co-stars (Hugh Grant and Drew
Barrymore) . . . the former plays a washed-up 80s pop
star who can only find work on the nostalgia circuit . . . he has
a chance at a comeback, however, but only if the latter can help
him write a new song . . . not only was the dialogue catchy
throughout the film, but the songs were too . . . I also liked
the work of Kristen Johnson as the sister of Barrymore's
character . . . make sure you stay for the credits at the
end; there's a cute spoof of the music played on
VH1 . . . rated PG-13.
C. Can five minutes make a difference in your life?
The answer is a resounding YES, according to authors
Jeffrey Brantley and Wendy Millstone in FIVE GOOD
MINUTES IN THE MORNING (see also Section 2)--a most
informative book that is filled with suggestions on what
can be accomplished in such a brief period of time.
To begin with, you should start with mindful breathing and
follow that with mindful listening . . . you are then ready
to act wholeheartedly, in which you do something with
all your attention and energy.
The authors give you a choice of 100 different practices, any
and/or all of which can be used to get your day off to a
great start . . . some of them may some basic, but methinks
if you actually tried to implement at least some of them,
you couldn't find a better way to begin start your day.
Or in certain instances, end it as was the case with the
following exercise that I've already started to put to good use:
If you inherited the worry wart gene, then you're well versed
in the mental ruminations that can plague a quiet night at home.
You worry about the strange ticking noise that the car started
making. You worry about an awkward conversation you had
with your boss. You may find yourself on a hamster wheel of
worries, running in circles but not making any forward progress
at all.
The following practice will help you stop spinning your wheels
and let go of those bothersome thoughts.
1. Begin by making a mental or written list of all your worries,
large or small, rational or far-fetched.
2. Visualize or find a small wastepaper basket or box in
which you can stash your worries.
3. Imagine tearing off each individual concern or fear and tossing
it into your storage bin. If you've made a written list, go ahead
and actually do this.
4. Say these words out loud: "I am letting go of these
nagging thoughts. Some are important and some are not.
But right now, I am reclaiming my right to enjoy life, live
fully, and feel safe and secure tonight."
Today, let me add one more exercise to the aforementioned
100; i.e., take the time today to get your own copy of FIVE
GOOD MINUTES . . . this slight investment will pay itself
back many times over.
D. Heard the CD version of ON TRUTH by Harry G. Frankfurt, a professor
emeritus of philosophy at Princeton University . . . it is a follow-up to
ON BULLSHIT, his surprising NEW YORK TIME best-seller.
Though short in length, it is anything but light reading . . . Frankfurt
attempts to get you to think about this provocative topic by quoting
sources ranging from Spinoza to Shakespeare, but the truth is that
I found this book not very helpful.
It assumes, for example, that you know something about
postmodernists because he criticizes them as "these shameless
antagonists of commonsense" . . . however, if you're new to
philosophical thought and/or reading about the topic, you'll find
yourself in need of some basic understandings before you attempt
plodding through ON TRUTH.
And while ON BULLSHIT supposedly used both wit and creativity
to make its point, I saw little of either in this book . . . it's always
a good thing to attempt to make philosophy more popular; however,
this effort just didn't work for me at all.

understand Sunday morning Charlie Sheen woke up wearing a crown.''

in history. Bush says that's not true. He was the worst in math
and English.''
Hit or miss?
3. ''They have a test now that tells people the sex of their baby
just six weeks into the pregnancy. Isn't that amazing? Ryan
Seacrest's parents have been waiting, what, 32 years to find out?''
Hit or miss?

the country. In fact, there were so many that most Wal-Marts were
down to just one clerk.''
Hit or miss?
5. ''According to GLAMOUR magazine it takes the average woman
11 minutes to get aroused. The problem is that by the time the average
woman gets aroused the average guy has been asleep for nine minutes.''
Hit or miss?

10. A quote I like
There is a wonderful mythical law of nature that the three things we

always attained by giving them to someone else.--Petyon Conway

11. Thought for the day
Its made where?
John Russell started the day early, having set his alarm clock
(MADE IN JAPAN) for 6 a.m. While his coffeepot (MADE IN CHINA)
was perking, he shaved with his electric razor (MADE IN HONG KONG).
He put on a dress shirt (MADE IN SRI LANKA), designer jeans (MADE
IN SINGAPORE) and tennis shoes (MADE IN KOREA).
After cooking his breakfast in his new electric skillet (MADE IN INDIA),
he sat down with his calculator (MADE IN MEXICO) to see how much
he could spend today. After setting his watch (MADE IN TAIWAN) to
the radio (MADE IN INDIA) he got in his car (MADE IN GERMANY) filled
it with gas (from SAUDI ARABIA) and continued his search for a good
paying job.
At the end of yet another discouraging and fruitless day checking his
computer (MADE IN MALAYSIA), John decided to relax for a while.
He put on his sandals (MADE IN BRAZIL) poured himself a glass of wine
(MADE IN FRANCE! France!!) and turned on his TV (MADE IN
INDONESIA), and then wondered why he can't find a good paying
job in . . . AMERICA.

PS. If you get this in time, please take a moment and pause at 3 p.m.
(local time) on Monday, Memorial Day, to think about those who died
to preserve our liberties . . . and even if you get this after the fact, do
take a moment to appreciate all they have done for us.
Please also join me in praying that we soon get our remaining soldiers
back from Iraq and that peace resumes in Israel . . . and make it
a great week!
