WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DESIRE MOST?

I'm thankful that the internet and social networks have made communication amongst the people of the world much easier. Found this on Facebook: "What is it that you desire most?" http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=youtube+videos%2fwhat+is+it+that+you+desire+most%3f&FORM=VIRE1#view=detail&mid=697765A006A25CC33002697765A006A25CC33002

PIANO PRODIGY HARMONY ZHU

So as many of my friends know, I'm retired and I now have lots of free time to sit and watch daytime TV shows all day.  I was watching the Ellen Show and one of her guests was little 8-year-old Harmony Zhu.  Harmony is an excellent example of how an immensely talented prodigy can still be just an innocent, happy little girl.  Watch this clip of her on Ellen:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VdwmRxOK1Y

THE VIA FERRATA

This past summer my brother's family and I traveled to Telluride, Colorado and camped at the Alta Lakes campground.  One of the excursions we took while visiting this historic mining area was the Via Ferrata.  More than a thousand Via Ferrata ("Iron Roads", in Italian) trails exist in the world today.  Most of them are in the Alps and date back to World War I, when they were built in the Dolomite region of Italy to aid in moving troops through treacherous terrain.  The one at Telluride was started by Chuck Kroger and his mountaineering friends around 2006.  My nephew Cliff is an experienced climber and spent some time in Yosemite teaching mountain climbing to enthusiasts visiting the area. He and  his wife Tasha and their two young boys navigated this "cliff" trail.  NO, I did not accompany them!  http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x27gog1_the-rocky-terrain-of-the-via-ferrata-episode-3_auto
