This is from young Joe the lost Kennedy by Charles Fason Rose and Joseph Kennedy Senior received the news on August 13th, 1944 that their eldest son, Joseph Junior was dead, not missing in action. There was no doubt Joe Junior's plane loaded with £21,170 of tarp, an explosive, 50% more powerful than dynamite had exploded in the air at approximately 2000 ft eight miles southeast of Halesworth the day before upon hearing the news from the Secretary of the Navy, Joe Kennedy walked down to the sea, selected three perfect skipping stones and skimmed them over the calm waters. This is from Fred Astaire by Joseph Epstein. Of what did as stair's magic consist. Why even now more than 20 years after his death, more than 50 years since the days of his prime as a dancer, singer, actor. Why do his old movies still shimmer with glamour? Why do so many people still find the sight and sound of him enchanting? Why does the very idea of Fred Astaire continue to cast its own lovely lilting glow? We are my dear Watson obviously in the presence of a mystery. This is from Baggage by Jeremy Leon Hans. It went something like this. I laid on the couch, literally. She told me to breathe. She said when to breathe in and when to breathe out. She asked me to imagine my 10 year old self just after my mother had crashed and burned. How do you feel last? Where are you in the woods? There is an animal. She said it's your spirit animal. What is it? A giant cat? My answer surprised me. I would have figured a wolf since I'd always loved wolves. What kind of cat? I don't know, just a really big cat, like a tiger but not a tiger. What do you see to this cat? What do I say? Yes. Talk to it. It can hear you and understand. I guess. I'm, um, I ask for its protection. That's good protection from what? I don't know, everything it says. Yes. And then things got really weird as if my bubbling cauldron of subconscious, double, double toil and trouble wasn't weird enough. I found myself getting on the cat like it's a horse and riding it bare back out of the forest.
