I did not make the forbes list of billionaires again...damn!...there are supposed to be 2781 of them around now...ms swift is now officially a billionairess...i hope she knows that mr bezos gave 100 million bucks to dolly partons charity so she may have to find a suitable place to spread her fortune...i would like to see her provide musical instruments to children...
i watched a good interview with truman capote on firing line and for a guy who only had a high school education mr capote holds his own with mr. buckley...but james balwin also was never college educated and he did well in his interview with buckley...capote gained fame for his book "In cold blood' about two guys who murdered a whole family out in kansas and he spent months interviewing them...he said he interviewed hundreds of murderers in prison and he and buckley talked about the death penalty...tim cahill told me while sitting around a campfire in yosemite national park that he interviewed a murderer in prison (j.w. gacey?) and he had nightmares for years...i was pretty young when i read capotes book and i was pretty creeped out about it for a long time...i dont feel any need to get the first hand information from the participants...
i watch the "Hat Historian" on youtube and recommend his short histories..."Boss of the Plains" was the first cowboy hat made by the philidelphia hatters the Stetsons...
i read about a woman super athlete named hazel hotchkiss wightman (1886-1974) who was a tennis player (as well as a few other sports) and she won 45 national championships the last one at age 68 years...i feel a little wimpy after reading that...
"What characterizes neurotics is that they prefer psychical to factual reality and react just as seriously to thoughts as normal people do to realities." Sigmund Freud (by that definition most of us are neurotic!)
