SUMMARY

Part one of Neil Simon’s autobiographical trilogy: a portrait of the writer as a young teen in 1937 living with his family in a crowded, lower middle-class Brooklyn walk-up. Eugene Jerome, standing in for the author, is the narrator and central character. Dreaming of baseball and girls, Eugene must cope with the mundane existence of his family life in Brooklyn: formidable mother, overworked father, and his worldly older brother Stanley. Throw into the mix his widowed Aunt Blanche, her two young (but rapidly aging) daughters and you have a recipe for hilarity, served up Simon-style. This bittersweet memoir evocatively captures the life of a struggling Jewish household where, as his father states “if you didn’t have a problem, you wouldn’t be living here.”

Advent Concert

Submitted By: anyalreeser@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
Thursday, December 15 at 6pm, at St. Catherine’s
(Doors open at 5:30pm)

FREE—This concert is Deb’s gift to the community, so if you have a heart to give then pass it on to others in need!

Join singer-songwriter Deb Montgomery for a quiet, early evening of music and candles: a kind-of-sort-of Advent Concert. Think house concert in a church. St. Catherine’s Episcopal Church is sweet and warm, open, inclusive, and welcoming.

“Montgomery’s music has been compared to many other talented musicians, from Natalie Merchant to Neil
Young. These are great comparisons, and Montgomery is an excellent storyteller. Her music is glorious in
its ability to make you cry, to make you feel, to make you find hope again.” — Beat Media

Deb has performed for many years—with and without a band—in Seattle, Toronto, Chicago, and New
York City. She recently relocated to Manzanita. You can find her music on iTunes and Spotify, or listen
to her albums here: debmontgomery.com and debmontgomery1.bandcamp.com/album/the-heart-of-it.

Believe It or Not

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
I have been reading the following book – I have to say it contains a lot of information about organized crime, drug, and child sex trafficing, abuse, and torture with the involvement of prominent people

ONE NATION UNDER BLACKMAIL by Whitney Webb Volume 1 and 2

This book traces the origin of the network behind Epstein and his associates to the merging of organized crime and intelligence networks during world war two and follows the scandals and acts of corruption, other crimes used to blackmail many notable figures in politics , banking, etc.

This book is not terribly interesting to read, it is sort of like an encyclopedia, of who ,what, why, where and when. But it is fully, completely, documented.

I just ordered volume #2 to get up to date…

In reading this, pedophilia becomes a prominent theme and is used in blackmailing just about any prominent figure. I read several months ago that if you are invited to a party in Washington D.C. Never to go to a private home, but only to a public place to avoid being caught in a compromising position perhaps under the influence of drugs or alcohol and may find photos of yourself with underage children.
But the reality of this is so sickening that I have to ask myself – What is wrong with the human animal? I am quite positive this is true and it has been going on for a long long long time. And mostly it goes on because no one believes it. And those in higher places look the other way to save their own skins.

It helps to make these things public.
