WordPress offers blog prompts to provide inspiration for bloggers (and God knows, I need inspiration). Today’s prompt is:
My favorite emojis are the:
Face with Rolling Eyes 🙄 (oh brother …)

Alas, Kathy Hochul defeated Lee Zeldin 52.9% (3,026,034 votes) to 47.1% (2,699,054 votes)
I am heartsick. The much vaunted Red Wave turned out to be a Red Ripple, thanks (/sarc) to millenial and GenZ voters, who’ve been brainwashed by the schools, media, and popular culture.
Anyhow, here’s how the 2022 midterm elections shaped up for our Latina GOP candidates:

Singer/songwriter Carly Simon paid tribute to her sisters Joanna and Lucy, who died just a day apart of each other this week, both from cancer.
Joanna Simon died of thyroid cancer on Wednesday, October 19, 2022. Lucy Simon, 82, died of metastatic breast cancer on Thursday, October 20, 2022.
Joanna was an opera singer. Lucy was nominated for a Tony Award for the score of the “The Secret Garden.” musical. Carly and Lucy performed together as the Simon Sisters in the 1960s.
“I have no words to explain the feeling of suddenly being the only remaining direct offspring of Richard and Andrea Simon,” said Carly.

I put together this short four-song playlist in tribute to Loretta Lynn, who died at age 90 on Tuesday, October 4, 2022.
Here’s the playlist:
For this week’s #MusicMonday feature, I created a video playlist that features The Bee Gees. My friend Ann and I exchanged videos of early Bee Gees (or so we thought) by Messenger. She shared “Words” and I shared “To Love Somebody.”
I found the video for Time is Passing By on YouTube. The video dates back to 1960, and might be The Bee Gees’ debut on TV. This was seven years before they broke internationally. Barry Gibb was 13 or 14, and the (fraternal) twins Robin and Maurice were 10 or 11. To put this into perspective, Barry turned 76 on September 1, 2022.
I’ve also added The Bee Gees’ induction into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. Barry described The Bee Gees as the “enigma with a stigma,” perhaps because of the backlash after Saturday Night Fever. We were oversaturated by The Bee Gees and the songs that they wrote for others.
There are other surprises, including:
Fittingly, Brian Wilson inducted The Bee Gees into the Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame. He too sang and harmonized with his brothers Carl and Dennis. Like Barry, he is the eldest brother who has outlived his younger brothers. 😢
Be sure to watch and listen to the whole playlist!
