If you've been around here lately, you will notice a different look on my blog. I think it has a little more class than the original format...easy on the eyes. Hope you like it. Sometimes in life you've got to change some things when you get bored or tired of them. I'm thinking of things like your job, or your kitchen cabinets, or your golf clubs, or your wives. I've had two of the latter, but I've never gotten tired of either one. Perhaps one of them got tired of me...Can't blame her for that. Sometimes I get tired of me also, and I have to make a change; like letting my hair grow long, or growing a beard, or anything else I can think of that would make a change in me. There are many times in life when a person has to reinvent himself...or herself.
Last night we went to see "La Vie en Rose" the story of the life of Edith Piaf. I do remember her from my previous life (which has had several "changes"), and I enjoyed her songs. However, in the film I learned that she was an alcoholic, a drug addict, an adulteress, a prima donna, a manipulator, and a generally unlikeable person. The film was in French with English subtitles. I might have enjoyed the movie more had there been subtitles for the songs that she sang. Therefore I was disappointed in the film. One thing I couldn't remember is that she had an affair with Marcel Cerdan, who won the heavyweight championship with a K.O. of Tony Zale. He was her one love and was killed in a plane crash coming from France to America after Edith had begged him to. She carried guilt for that and despair at his death for the remainder of her life. Hasta la vista!
