WRITING WEDNESDAY

I'm supposed to be revising. So maybe blogging at this moment is just procrastinating. But the truth is, I never know when I wake up in the morning where my character will lead me. Today it was to a banjo version of "Flight of the Bumblebee".




And how about this tap dancing version by Leon Collins? (a tribute, it turns out, to a mighty fine tap instructor)



And then there is this amazing piano performance with a stunning collage of motion.



Research is not just for encyclopedias anymore.

LOST GENERATION (Or Not?)

Yesterday Eileen Heyes, a member of the WINC group I am a part of, sent this link. Which suggests that we have the power to shape our own history.

Here's the description that came with the clip.

This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place. When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant.



I noticed over at YouTube that this has been viewed more than 9 million times. Wow! What if that many people chose to believe it? And act on it?

Could we change the course of history?
