The huge structure was built into the mountain, actually appearing to be part of the mountain itself, and if I did not know that this was a community of key seekers, I would have sworn it was a fortress. We continued climbing until we approached a gate where two robed men greeted us. One of them spoke in an unfamiliar tongue, and when I said, "I don't understand" he spoke again, but this time in our language, asking, "Do you come in peace?"Do we come in peace? What did he mean by that...

But my naming Joan to the new zoo post and placing her on "The Tonight Show" seems to be what folks most remember.And why not? Joan's nearly 100 appearances with Johnny Carson made her a familiar face to millions of Americans. Snuggled by snakes and loved by leopards, she was a...

Most men lead, and live their lives behind walls of misunderstandings, ones they have built for themselves, perhaps it's a man thing; whatever, most men die, alone, in silence, behind those walls, in pretence they never had built such walls in the first place.In a like manner, Frank and Wally never did do anything useful, beautiful; it was all impersonal, cold or unfriendly, for the most part, I suppose you could say and never did understand life, wound in pretence.Whiskey Char...

What exactly is the attraction when it comes to Bob Marley posters? They seem to be very popular amongst the college crowd for one. Walk through any college campus, and check out all the Marley t-shirts for starters. Carry it a little bit further, and start asking questions. I'll bet if you asked 100 students who Bob Marley was, the vast majority of them could tell you. A few could probably name a few of his songs, and if your really lucky a few more could sing you a few words. Your safest b...

We located a trail heading in the general direction of the pass, and started up. The slope was gentle to begin with, but after a day of climbing, it steepened, and then the weather turned bad. Before I knew it, I found myself walking through deepening snow in my bare feet while fighting a howling wind that blinded me from even following the path. I wrapped my tattered robe tightly around me, but it was of no help, and when I finally couldn't feel my feet anymore, I had no choice but to mount...

Science fiction has emerged as acceptable in the literary cannon with the inclusion of a wide selection of science fiction writers as worthy of studying. At least this was one of the facts I learnt of a genre which I had for long associated with popular thrillers when we discussed Contemporary American Literature in the US a year ago

Lighthouses are really fascinating structures. Not just for the architecture themselves, which are very unique to be sure. The tall spiral column poking at the sky seems hardly practical as a domicile. Which in fact is exactly not what it is supposed to be. Lighthouses serve a different purpose, and if you asked a dozen different people they would most likely tell you the same thing. Lighthouses are intended to warn boats away, and keep them from crashing into the shore.But, apart fro...

When I think of the Lord Mayor of London, I think of Dick Whittington and the story my parents read to me as a child. I enjoyed the tale; although all I really remember about it is that Dick Whittington was a country boy who heard that the streets of London were paved with gold, so he decided to go to the city to find his fortune. He had a cat and some rotten luck, but it turned out all right in the end as he became Lord Mayor of London, not once or twice, but thrice. It's the kind of triump...

So, what are your favorite lighthouse posters. There are plenty different types to pick from. Different styles, different colors, different feelings, and plain and simple, many different lighthouses. You know, there is the very simple, but stereotypical Cape Cod lighthouse. Just looking at one of these, you can image the sand getting stuck in your toes, and the mournful cries of seagulls fighting the wind and each other in their quest for scraps left by the sea. It's a pleasant and calming i...
