'World Thinking Day' a Happening Time!

This afternoon was a great time here in Atlanta. Attended World Thinking Day over at a school in Midtown. My sons two daughters are Girl Scouts and this was a great cultural or perhaps I should say cross-cultural opportunity for them and all the other girls and adults at the event. There were displays and food from many countries like Japan, India, Italy, Germany, and Poland. It was a sparkling great time and the best thing was I could tell this poignant cultural experience was a beautiful thing for the children. You knew their creativity was greatly enhanced this afternoon. Since I grew up in a small town in Southwest Georgia I think I am so lucky to be in a vibrant urban metro area like Atlanta where girls and boys can enjoy eating sushi and kielbasa and other delicious foods from other lands. It is very interesting to see kids learning about the Far East, Europe and of course the Middle East. What a marvelous thrill of an experience today has been.

Nice Writing

THE GOOD terse writing of Ernest Hemingway is a real joy.  He does not use too many adjectives.  His 'Torrents' is a fine tome.
