Thought for the Day 3-10-20

Since our illustrious leader seems to think he KNOWS everything.............   And in LIGHT of the COVID-19 spreading world wide, and according to him it is a HOAX brought on by the Democrats.....    This thought for the day is JUST FOR HIM

" He who knows, does not speak. He who speaks, does not know."   Lao Tzu, Chinese philosopher.

Good luck, now that you've been exposed, possibly to COVID-19, Draft Dodger in Chief!

The Ice King

We recently watched this documentary about John Curry, the first openly gay figure skater in Olympic history.

Growing up in England at a time when it was frowned upon by many for men to be ballet dancers, which was what John wanted to be originally, but told by his father NO!, John turned to ice skating, and the world of ice skating is a better place for that direction.

It is painful at times to watch, in retrospect knowing what we know now about HIV/AIDS epidemic and how it came to be...... 

Putting that aside, John was one of the most graceful skaters ever ----- we have been watching skating since the late 1960's, so we have seen a few.  None of the current skaters have the grace or finesse that John had.

One of the most beautiful skating moment in the film is when he skated with a lovely young woman to the music of "Afternoon of a Faun".
