Anna Karina and the former USSR

Posted by Betty and Dan on Monday, April 29, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
Since Betty blogged about the story of Anna Karina in Leo Tolstoy's book and this newest movie production. I want to focus on my reaction to the movie and my last visit to the USSR. 

First, I was impressed by the presentation. The idea of melding opera, play, cinema and history felt distinctly Russian to me, and reminded me of the constant sense of historicity I felt when visiting St. Petersburg, Moscow and Krasnoyarsk (Siberia). People were people, work was work, life was life, but somehow th...

"How Low Can You Go?" - An Old "Limbo" Dance Saying

Posted by Betty and Dan on Saturday, April 27, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
Hello, Sentence Dancers!

As a professor of liberal arts who teaches English 101/102 and Writing, and the author of over 60 books and articles, I am often asked how to make one's writing more interesting. One first-year college secret is to use differing sentence structure. But first, it is important to understand the difference between a clause and a sentence. A clause is a group of words with a subject and a verb. A sentence is a group of words (1) with a subject, and (2) a verb, that (3) beg...

SEX

Posted by Betty and Dan on Friday, April 26, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
Today's blog is about SEX (Special Epoxy X-ray - isn't that what you thought this was about? Ha, ha!). Last night after eating, I felt like a seed was stuck between my teeth. I used a toothpick to free the "seed" and noticed the edge of my tooth felt sharp. It didn't hurt, but it felt like a chip of tooth was missing. I called my dentist and made an appointment for the next day. 

The dentist took a special x-ray (S and X of SEX) of the tooth and said I had chipped the filling. Normally, that w...

Golden Armadillo

Posted by Betty and Dan on Wednesday, April 24, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
Aloha.  Do you know what this is?  Hint: It is an ancient animal from the days of the dinosaurs. It's an armadillo. We have a Golden Armadillo "pet" that was given to us by friends in Oklahoma for good luck.  

 
Oklahoma is located in the middle of the USA, next to Texas. Oklahoma has many armadillos. Of course, I've never actually seen a live one in Oklahoma, but that's what Oklahomans tell me (I have, however, seen deer, hummingbirds, squirrels and cardinals when visiting there). But back to ...

Special Lunch and Dinner for a Working Woman

Posted by Betty and Dan on Monday, April 22, 2013, In : Dan's Blogs 
I enjoyed making lunch and dinner today for Betty. It's her day off and she deserves it. She works so hard. I appreciate her.

For lunch we had Danish "open-face" sandwiches. Each small sandwich was one quarter of a slice of toasted rye bread, with mayonnaise, fresh ground pepper, and special toppings. These included "spicy tuna" (Hawaiian "pupu" or appetizer; Japanese sashimi), Italian prosciutto, or Roma tomato slice. Then, from our garden either a leaf of Manoa lettuce, basil, mint or shiso...
