“I got faith (Faith) in you, baby.
I got faith (Oh) in you now.
And you've been such a, such a good friend to me (Me).
Know that I love you somehow (Love you somehow).
I met you, hallelujah, I got faith (Faith).”
“Faith” by Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande; sung at the end of “Sing” and the squid...
“1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, Schlemiel! Schlimazel! Hasenpfeffer Incorporated!”
This phrase is a Yiddish-American hopscotch chant from Penny Marshall’s childhood; famously used in the opening credits of the 1970s TV sitcom “Laverne & Shirley”. It translates to:
Schlemiel: An awkward, clumsy, or...
I’m done hidin’, now I’m shinin’.
Like I’m born to be.
We dreaming hard, we came so far,
Now I believe.
We’re going up, up, up, it’s our moment.
You know together we’re glowing.
Gonna be, gonna be golden.
– “Golen”, sung by Huntrix in K-Pop Demon Hunters.
…and golden they are, that is owners, Waen...

Hubby and I recently had breakfast there, again, and spent a little over one hour enjoying the...

“White and yellow,
kill a fellow.
Purple and blue,
good for you.
Red… could be good, could be dead.”
– Survival expert Mykel Hawke’s mnemonic for remembering which berries are safe to eat in the wild.
Now when it comes to berries in the wild, I am one to admit that I am clueless as to the species,...
Imagine, if you can, living during the 1880s. Pioneers had traveled over desolate landscapes, losing many a wagon wheel, but not one life, not even one of the oxen pulling those wagons.
Settling in Bluff, alongside the San Juan River, the pioneers still endured hardships.
There was the lack of...
A common complaint of book readers, when the movie version comes out is, “Hollywood’s butchered the book!”. Being a huge fan of British detective/mystery novels, I can say for certain that movie studios do the same blasphemy.
Take, for example, Kenneth Branagh as Hercule Poirot, in which he...
Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the first ecclesiastical full moon (the “Paschal Full Moon”) that occurs on or after March 21 (the fixed spring equinox).
