After listening to a two hours short prequel to a Sci-Fi series read by one of my favorite narrators, R. C. Bray, I am now three chapters into Adrian Goldsworthy's Anthony and Cleopatra. I doubt there will be much new info, but I am interested in Goldworthy's take on the war between them and the Roman fleet.

This morning, while waiting for the "vampire" to call me in for bloodwork, I pulled up The Love Affairs of a Bibliomaniac by Eugene Field, but get to start it before I got called in. Field was a poet and writer who lived in the second half of the nineteenth century. I may not have run across his name anywhere, but I do remember one of his most famous poems, "Wynken, Blynken and Nod".

Here is a little known story about Ethiopian fleeing through Sudan to be able to reach Israel

Bubble, what an amazing story, among so many of a strong, determined people even with so much historical religious hatred turned toward them.

Daily we hear so many poignant stories, so many incredible experiences...

I am not sure this is the place for posting this, but it certainly made me reflect on the importance of knowing and remembering history.

Bubble, such powerful and amazing truth. I saved, downloaded and forwarded.

Thanks for sharing bubble - amazing bit of truth using poetry to speak - don't know which was more wonderful - the story or the poetry...

Bubble, such an important and necessary message.  Spellbinding, to watch and listen to Yuval David, tell the story . . . the history.  I liked it very much, and plan to send it on to others who I know will feel the same way.
