On April 16 I finished a blog that I did not send out because it was dated - It was going to be the spring training issue but that got called off and the blog just sat there for a month. So, if interested, page to that one after you finish this. I do want to show one art piece here in case you do not view both blogs.
Remember, you can click on the photos to enlarge, pinch them open.

Well, there is one more oil painting for Estes but it is not yet ready and I want to get this blog out so you will just have to wait for it.
ART PURCHASED:
These horses were purchased from our favorite consignment shop in north Naples; the first is leather.

Purchased through ArtLoupe - Art St Louis. Oil by Michael Anderson 14 x 11"
FLORIDA: I just love it...
These 3 are from the Naples Botanical Garden, Go, Go, Go if you get down this way $20 admission is worth it, has a pretty decent cafe - at least before the Covid-19 shutdown.
Not much I can add to this morning view west on my street.

I will lead off with a "read" that turns to watch if you are game. Terry Teachout has again heaped praise on our Florida Repertory Theatre. He is a regular theatre critic for the Wall Street Journal. I believe he is from Missouri, and his wife recently died. Due to Covid the production for A Doll's House, Part 2 was shut down. We usually attend on the 2nd evening of each production. Fortunately, they taped the final dress rehearsal in front of an audience made up of their staff. Therefore, you get a sense of a live show. Below is a link to his review. And, you will note that you can go online and purchase a viewing for $39.00. He said that even though it was a rehearsal there were very few blemishes. Enjoy his review with photos.
‘A Doll’s House, Part 2’ Review: Small Screen, Small Stage, Big Impact
Interesting history of early land development in Florida with all of the names you would recognize. Some cons but mostly hard-working, dreamers, meeting the need of a country getting use to the automobile, etc. A little preachy backdating "climate change" applications.
Not reading, however, I purchased this for Linda at the Dali Museum in St Pete a while back. She is enjoying puzzles. This one was tough, especially all of the rectangles of similar color. But, she got it done.

Very light reading, rambling chapters, lots of pills, brandy, weed as this on/off again press agent for the Beatles and on a limited basis other groups and singers such as The Byrds (who he really liked), Beach Boys, Paul Revere, etc. recalls in 26 short chapters scenes over a period from 1963 until 1972. Best summary is from from another book when George, viewing some ancient footage of milling fans, declares that he would like U2 to see this. That way they could understand what it was like to be really famous. This is a re-issuefrom 1973.
And this was a DVD but it felt like reading vs watching, it is not the Academy Award nominee but a 2-hour documentary. Actually quite touching and great to see some old TV clips. 
HUMOR:

| I just asked a simple question, 45 minutes later... |
REMEMBER WHEN:

| Classes were a little bit larger back in the day. |
And, houses were smaller...When two adults and 8 children lived in one house?
GUESS WHO:
She is kind of shallow, but Radio GaGa is one of her favorites (and the only Queen song that I will listen to).

WARNING: This is BELOW THE FOLD. If you don't like what some might be considered controversial, don't go there. As always, if you no longer want to receive this blog just tell me and I will remove you from a very privileged list...no hard feelings. so far, only two have done so.
Nuts, just nuts. It is inconceivable that California taxpayers and educators put up with this. Totally nuts.
