where's the anger coming from

i have always been interested in cinema, films and the people who inhabit it. when i was growing up.....a long, long time ago, the entertainment that filled one's life was the movies.....t.v. was a long time in coming. movie stars were our idols...their lives something we dreamed about. what was non existent was a microscopive look into their everyday activities similar to what we see today....which brings me to my subject . what has become of the respect for privacy of our "celebrities" when did the public get the unalienated right to be voyeurs of every move of film and music stars...what gives us the right to disect their every move and spew venom about their actions on the internet. are we so bored with our own lives that living vicariously through stars is what fills our appetites. are we empowered through the internet because of our anonimity to disect men and women who act for a living. something must be seriously missing from our own lives to accept this sort of behavior......why are internet participants so angry about so many things....they are using celebrities as human pinadas.....i think instead of being critical about other people's foibles we should look at ourselves in the mirror.

jude and conpany

while adam is covering italy so is jude law. he, sienna miller and his three offsprings handsome raff, lovely iris and the world's most beautiful cherub rudy are living it up for a month in southern italy....this must be the year of italia...jude has been in ponza, otrano, lecce and practically every gorgeous beach at the tip of the boot. the waters are crystal aquamarine and the rocks and crags are breathtaking....i'll tell you some people know how to live.

adam in italy

so my grandson adam is living like a pasha in italia. apparently he is on a yacht sailing around corsica....elba....no he did not encounter napoleon....lovely food and drink lolling in the sun whilst doing his art work....his travels will take him to berlin, london and sicilly...let's not forget florence and perhaps a bit of tuscany...thanks to wonderful friends he met while studying art in florence this trip of a lifetime has become a reality.....all this while i suffer at home looking over the intracoastal and atlantic ocean from my little apartment in florida...ah to be young and adventurous....adam my hat's off to you for your ingenuity and ability to make good friends.

my grandaughter

i've watched her evolve from the most endearing, kindly, curious little girl into a full blown woman...yesterday when i opened my door i saw this beautiful, luminescent young woman of 29....oh the road traveled.....sara lives in new jersey so visits can't be too frequent. she teaches biology, coaches soccer and designs jewelry so we are talking about a very busy young lady....when she speaks i am enthralled by her. it is enough just to look, listen and know that she is actually there and not a telephone voice..
