For 573 days I have published daily without skipping a beat, not holidays, not weekends.
Meanwhile, I’ve been dabbling with videos and podcast.
Read more in the Commentary section of the blog.
The blog? A three to four-minute excursion into photos and short texts to regale the curious with an ever-changing and diverting view of a world rich in gastronomy, visual art, ideas, chuckles, stories, people, diversions, science, homespun, and enlightenment.
Observing with wit and wisdom, Dom Capossela, an experienced leader, guides his team of contributors and followers through that world, an amusing and edifying conversation to join.
Note that the blog is also the first place that posts the "Hello! my friends," videos and the
“Conflicted” podcasts.

Commentary
Thursday, October 31, 2019
For 573 consecutive days I have published daily without skipping a beat, not holidays, not weekends.
Meanwhile, I’ve been dabbling with videos and podcast.
And although my efforts in these areas needs lots of improvement, I like them in the blog.
However, they take time and since the sun and the moon do not allow us more time for our projects, we must fit them into the 24-hour astronomical rhythm.
Starting tomorrow, I will publish the blog as it looks now on all even-numbered calendar days. On the odd-numbered days I will publish something, from a simple hello to I don’t know what.
Meanwhile, I’ll work on creating a rhythm for the blog, videos, and podcasts and certainky keep you informed.
God bless us, all.

Three From George Carlin
“If you try to fail, and succeed, which have you done?”
“The main reason Santa is so jolly is because he knows where all the bad girls live.”
“I like it when a flower or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in the concrete. It's so fuckin' heroic.”

Dear Dom,
It must be that Scorcese's film "The Irishman" is so named because there's only one of them, outstanding in a field of big-name actors of Italian ancestry. Otherwise, the film would have to be renamed "The Italians" (or, to borrow from your coinage, "The Italos").
Phillip and I, too, shy away from the overly hyped. Maybe it is a case of fuddy-duddyism. If so, it doesn't concern me in the least. To me, it's better to stand back and get a good look at something before jumping on its bandwagon.
😁

Sly devil that he was.

Thanks to Sally for her note.
And to Lauren for giving me the idea of lightening my load. Sometimes you need someone from the outside to remind yourself that the water’s getting deep.
Thanks to George Carlin for today’s jokes.
Thanks in general to the Microsoft team at the Prudential Center for their unflagging availability to help with a constant flow of technological problems.
Always thanks to Wikipedia, the Lead and the Thumbnail sections of the Blog very often shaped from stories taken from that amazing website. They are truly worthy of public support.

So happy for the Web Meister.
I’ve watched his ambitions drive him to work hours that likely would have ended in and abrupt termination of the blog.
Cutting back ensures the quality and longevity of the blog, the videos, and the podcasts.
But now? Gotta go.
Che vuoi? Le pocketbook?
See you soon.
