If you read my recent post titled Bobby Darin – The Gift then you already know about the wonderful, early Christmas gift that I received.
This has turned out to be the gift that “keeps on giving.” In addition to the Bobby Darin records, the box also contained part of Dad’s Frank Sinatra collection. My Dad was a big fan of both Bobby Darin and of Frank Sinatra - The Chairman of the Board.
Listening to Dad’s old records has transported me through doors that I once thought were closed forever. Please come along with me and let the magic of music open open some doors for you.
For your listening pleasure on this wonderful Saturday evening here are some samples of my Dad’s favorite Sinatra records.

People struggling in tough times to feed their family pets have been lining up each week outside the Ventura County animal shelter in Camarillo to collect free dog and cat food.
“I just lost my job. I lost my home. So this is really beneficial, because I can’t find work and I have to find something to help feed the dog,” said Kristina Selberg, 33, who is living in her car with her 3-year-old German shepherd-wolf mix called Caine.
Selberg’s situation is one that is facing more and more pet owners. To help them, the Ventura County animal shelter announced in October that it was starting a free giveaway of dog and cat food every Sunday from 10 a.m. to noon, or until the food runs out.
Jolene Hoffman, director of the Humane Society of Ventura County, which runs a shelter and adoption center in Ojai, said more and more pet owners are becoming desperate.
“This is the worst I’ve seen it in a very long time,” she said. “It’s heartbreaking.”
Many people, Hoffman said, are being forced to give up their pets because of a lost job or home or poor health. “Just about every day we get someone, sometimes several people, come in and ask for help,” Hoffman said this week. “Today, I had a guy who has three dogs and two cats and we gave him some of our food.”
The Humane Society accepts donations of pet food and passes it out to those who need it, Hoffman said. When they run out of donated food, they share the food they use for the shelter animals.
“We’re not going to let an animal go without food,” she said.
The Pet Pantry at the county shelter at 600 Aviation Drive, near the Camarillo Airport, is offered each Sunday morning near the horse corrals. Last Sunday, 14 people were in line when the Pet Pantry opened, and more people kept coming as the morning went on. Each one was given enough dried and canned food for their cat or dog to last a week.
John Gutierrez came with his 5-year-old Boxer, Dizzy.
“With the economy, work is slow and it’s really hard, and I guess I could use a little help,” Gutierrez said. “I think this is a great opportunity for those who need a bit of a helping hand. You can’t neglect your dog.”
These are tough economic times for everyone – family with children and pets are in a particularly vulnerable position. But while families with children receive assistance from the local, State and Federal governments, families with pets to feed do not receive similar assistance from the government. Families with pets, however, must rely upon the generosity of strangers, who are more fortunate, to get them through the hard times.
This Saturday, I plan to load the station wagon with pet food to deliver it to the local pet shelter. I will donate the food on behalf of my family and on behalf of Between Homes. If your community has an assistance program, I strongly encourage you to donate to it. A hungry furry will thank you.
What a better way to give thanks for your own blessings!

My Dad was a big Bobby Darin fan. He would play Bobby’s records over and over, while I listened from my bedroom. Listening to Dad playing Bobby’s records, I too learned to love Bobby’s jazzy voice and mellow lyrics.
This weekend I “received” a wonderful gift. While helping Mom clean her attic, I saw a box tucked away in a corner. The box was partially covered by bolts of fabrics. I was curious about the fabrics, and the box, so I took a closer look. When I opened the box, I saw that packed inside was part of my Dad’s record collection, including his collection of Bobby Darin’s 45 rpm records.
It has been years since I’ve owned a record player. My Dad’s fine, belt-drive record player and vacuum-tube amplifier, have both been long gone. If I wanted to listen to Bobby Darin’s songs, I had to find a way to play the 45 rpm records. I went to a local antique shop and there I found a record player in working condition – so I bought it right on the spot.
Fortunately, the needle was OK and the motor worked. Now all I had to do was to find a way to hook the record player to my own music system. It was not an easy task - the two systems were not really compatible. But after some Internet search, and a little fiddling around, I was able to get it to work right.
Ever since Sunday, I have been playing my Dad’s records. It’s such a wonderful gift to be able to listen to my Dad’s records and enjoy the music that he loved so much.
As I listen to these records, I feel as if my Dad is smiling down from Heaven, watching his little girl once again enjoying the music that he and I both listened to so many summers ago.
Thank you Dad!
For your listening pleasure, here are some of my (and my Dad’s) favorite Bobby Darin’s tunes:
BOBBY DARIN – If I were a Carpenter
If I were a carpenter And you were a lady Would you marry me anyway And have my baby?
If a tinker were my trade Would you still find me Carryin’ the pots I made Followin’ behind me?
Save my love through loneliness Save my love through sorrows I've given you my onliness Give me your tomorrows.
If I worked my hands in wood Would you still love me? Answer me, babe, “Yes, I would. I would put you above me.”
If I were a miller … yeah … At a mill wheel grindin’ Would you miss your colored blouse Little girl, your soft shoe shinin’?
If I were a carpenter And you were a lady Would you marry me anyway And you have my baby?
Would you marry me anyway And have my baby?
BOBBY DARIN – Beyond the Sea
Somewhere beyond the sea somewhere waiting for me my lover stands on golden sands and watches the ships that go sailin
Somewhere beyond the sea she's there watching for me If I could fly like birds on high then straight to her arms I'd go sailing
It's far beyond the stars it's near beyond the moon I know beyond a doubt my heart will lead me there soon
We'll meet beyond the shore we'll kiss just as before Happy we'll be beyond the sea and never again I'll go sailing

BOBBY DARIN - Softly As I Leave You
Softly, I will leave you softly For my heart would break If you should wake And see me go So I leave you softly...

Softly... after all the years I can't bear the tears to fall So softly as I leave you there...
As I leave you there... As I leave you there...
As I leave you there... As I leave you there.
A Special Note: In the U.S., tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. It is a day when we stop to reflect upon, and give thanks for, the blessings in our lives.
I wish to give thanks for all you here at Between Homes who have made my life so special during the past 12 months. You have been my friends, my confidants and my supporters; you have held my hand when I needed to be comforted, you have made me laugh when I needed to laugh. You have shared in my joys and you have shared in my sadness.
You have made it possible for me to continue my personal growth and you have made it possible for Between Homes to grow from a tiny 512 sq. m parcel, to a sprawling, beautiful project.
You have truly been the wind beneath my wings.
I love you and I give thanks for the blessings that you have bestowed upon me.
Christmas is just around the corner. That means that television advertisers will soon be filling the airwaves with commercials designed to get people into a “consumer mood.”
Most television Christmas advertisements are forgettable - many are simply plain bad. There is, however, one shining exception. The Coca-Cola Company produces some of the most imaginative Christmas ads. Their best commercials feature animated polar bears frolicking out on the ice, enjoying a cold Coke.
BH resident Leo Eppenberger recently gave me a cute, little Coca-Cola polar bear. The bear not only put a smile on my face, but it also reminded me of how cool the Coca-Cola commercials are.
So this morning, instead of the usual Sunday Comics, I bring you this collection of Coke and polar bear commercials.
Thank you Leo.
Enjoy!
If you enjoyed these commercials, and especially if you love and appreciate these majestic animals, here is something to think about.
Polar bears could be extinct by 2050 as their habitat melts away due to global warming. The loss of snow pack, thinning and disappearing sea ice all reduce essential habitat. Loss of sea ice leads to higher energy requirements to locate prey and a shortage of food.
Polar bear survival is entirely dependant on sea ice as a platform for hunting the marine mammals that provide their nutritional needs. Polar bears stalk the seals using their breathing holes in the ice, as the total ice diminishes it will vastly decrease successful hunts and their overall food source. Though polar bears are excellent swimmers they are not adept at catching seals in open water.
Female polar bears require soft deep snow for dens to keep their cubs insulated from the harsh weather, and sufficient fat reserves to survive denning after giving birth to their cubs. Seals, a primary source of prey for polar bears, also require icy habitat to breed and raise their young. Changing ice conditions have forced the seals to move and give birth in different areas, making them more difficult to find.
The polar bear is an iconic symbol of global warming, and among the first species to be so affected by it. More and more countries around the world, in particular those that incorporate Arctic landscape like the United States, Russia, Canada, and Greenland, are pledging to fight global warming in order to preserve the polar bear.

This week I had to travel to San Francisco for a few days to tend to some personal business. San Francisco is a popular international tourist destination. While in San Francisco I met tourists from Canada, France, Germany and Spain. San Francisco is known for its chilly summer fog, steep rolling hills, eclectic mix of Victorian and modern architecture and its famous landmarks, which include the Golden Gate Bridge, the cable cars and Chinatown.
San Francisco is also a city with a strong European flavor - this is one reason why it is such a popular tourist destination. Part of what gives San Francisco its European flavor is the large number of commuters. For example, unlike Los Angeles, where the car is “King,” people in San Francisco rely heavily upon other modes of transportation, including public transportation, walking and biking.
Where I live, bike riding is a mode of exercise or recreation – few people use their bike to commute. I am “guilty” of that; I use my two bikes (a road bike and a mountain bike) almost exclusively for recreation and for exercise (and for taking photographs). By comparison, bike riders in San Francisco regularly use their bikes to commute to work, to go shopping and to run personal errands.
Another “European” feature are all the great neighborhood bars and restaurants. The best part of it is that these places are all within easy walking distance. Nothing feels better than sharing a good, hearty meal with friends and then “walking it off” with a long, brisk walk in the cool evening air.
If your travels take you to San Francisco, please be sure to visit The Buena Vista Cafe . If you love Irish Coffee (and who doesn’t?) this IS the place to visit. According to legend, Irish Coffee was first served in the United State at the Buena Vista Café.
The Buena Vista is located at the intersection of Hyde and Beach Street. If you are visiting the Fisherman’s Wharf, the Buena Vista is just a short walk from world-famous Ghirardelli Square. If you are in downtown San Francisco, then just take the Hyde Street cable car and it will take you directly to the Buena Vista.
My business in San Francisco is finished and now I am back home. As lovely and wonderful as San Francisco is, I agree with Dorothy - there is no place like home.

Today is Friday the 13th . Normally, this is just another day on the calendar. Most people go about their usual routines – get up, eat breakfast, go to work, maybe exercise, meet with friends and then at the end of the day go back to sleep. For many people around the world, however, this date is full of bad omens.
The question then is: when did Friday the 13th become a day of bad omens?
The origins of all this fear of the number 13 in general, and Friday the 13th in particular, are open for debate.
The fear of the number 13, or triskaidekaphobia, is found in many cultures across the world. For example, in ancient Norse mythology, the number 13 was believed to be unlucky. There is a Norse legend that twelve gods were invited to a banquet at Valhalla. Loki, the Evil One - referred to in the Encyclopedia Britannica as a "cunning trickster" - had been left off the guest list. Angry about the slight, Loki crashed the party, bringing the total number of attendees to 13. True to character, Loki raised hell by inciting Hod, the blind god of winter, to attack Balder the Good, who was a favorite of the gods. Hod took a spear of mistletoe offered by Loki and obediently hurled it at Balder, killing him instantly and all Valhalla grieved. From this tale, the Norse apparently concluded that 13 people at a dinner party is just plain bad luck.
Many Hindus also believe that the number 13 was unlucky. They believe that it is always unlucky for 13 people to gather in one place.
The Bible tells us there were exactly 13 persons present at the Last Supper. One of the dinner guests — a discipline of Christ — betrayed Jesus Christ, setting the stage for the Crucifixion. The Crucifixion itself occurred on a Friday, thus joining the number 13 and the day Friday into one potently unlucky combination.
Some scholars, however, go all the way back to the Garden of Eden to explain Friday’s bad reputation. It was on a Friday, supposedly, that Eve tempted Adam with the forbidden fruit. Adam bit into the forbidden fruit and they were both ejected from Paradise. Tradition also holds that the Great Flood began on a Friday; God tongue-tied the builders of the Tower of Babel on a Friday; and the Temple of Solomon was destroyed on a Friday.
Another theory, recently offered up as historical fact by Dan Brown in his novel The Da Vinci Code, holds that phobia about Friday the 13th came about as a catastrophe - a single historical event that happened nearly 700 years ago. The catastrophe was the decimation of the Knights Templar, the legendary order of "warrior monks" formed during the Christian Crusades to combat Islam. Renowned as a fighting force for 200 years, by the 1300s the order had grown so pervasive and powerful it was perceived as a political threat by kings and popes alike and brought down by a church-state conspiracy.
On October 13, 1307, a day so infamous that Friday the 13th would become a synonym for ill fortune, officers of King Philip IV of France carried out mass arrests in a well-coordinated dawn raid that left several thousand Templars — knights, sergeants, priests, and serving brethren — in chains, charged with heresy, blasphemy, various obscenities, and homosexual practices. None of these charges was ever proven, even in France — and the Order was found innocent elsewhere — but in the seven years following the arrests, hundreds of Templars suffered excruciating tortures intended to force "confessions," and more than a hundred died under torture or were executed by burning at the stake.
Katharine Kurtz, Tales of the Knights Templar (Warner Books, 1995)
Regardless of the ancient sources of the superstition, it is still well-entrenched in modern society. Even seemingly rational, intelligent people fall prey to this superstition.
American industrialist Henry Ford, as the story goes, refused to do business on Friday the 13th. Ford did everything he could to avoid having anything to do with Friday the 13th.
U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) who is better known for helping steer America through the Great Depression, was equally fearful of Friday the 13th. "FDR would not depart on a (train) trip on the 13th," said Thomas Fernsler, a University of Delaware mathematician. Fernsler recounted a story that originated with FDR's personal secretary, Grace Tully, who said the former president would order the train to leave the station before midnight on the 12th or after midnight on the morning of the 14th.
In a final act of “defiance,” FDR died in 1945 on April 12. Thursday, April 12.
"He avoided traveling to the beyond on the 13th," joked Bob Clark, head archivist at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum.
Of course, there may be something to people’s fears of the number 13 and of Friday the 13th. Triskaidekaphobes say that the number 13 is the reason behind the explosion of Apollo 13. Apollo 13 took off at exactly 1:13 p.m. (1313 military time) on 04.11.70 (digits that add up to 13: 4 + 1 + 1 + 7 = 13).
Cuban dictator Fidel Castro was born on Friday the 13th, which may explain why the Cuban people have been so profoundly unlucky over the last 40 years.
I am not the superstitious type. I do not believe that the number 13 is unlucky and I certainly do not think that Friday the 13th is a day full of bad omens.
In fact, today is a particularly gorgeous day. As I look out my office window the sun shines big and bright; big, billowy white clouds lazily sail across an incredibly blue sky.
On second thought, I think that I am beginning to feel a bit superstitious about today. I am going to pick up the telephone, call my boss and tell him that I am invoking my ancient Norse heritage so that I cannot continue working on this Friday the 13th.
Then I am going to pack my lunch, get in the car and head for the beach where I can watch the seagulls and pelicans have fun!
I would like to introduce you today to a very "particular" singer, a french singer who is probably the greatest or one of the greatest singer in France and all over the world !
Édith Piaf, born Édith Giovanna Gassion (19 December 1915 - 10 October 1963), was a French singer and cultural icon who "is almost universally regarded as France's greatest popular singer
Her singing reflected her life, with her specialty being ballads. Among her songs are "La vie en rose" (1946), "Hymne à l'amour" (1949), "Milord" (1959), "Non, je ne regrette rien" (1960), "l'Accordéoniste" (1941), "Padam...Padam", and "La Foule".
Edith Piaf - La vie en rose
She was born Edith Giovanna Gassion in Belleville, Paris, a high-immigration district. Legend has it that she was born on the pavement of Rue de Belleville 72
She was named Édith after the World War I British nurse Edith Cavell, who was executed for helping French soldiers escape from German captivity.Piaf—a Francilien colloquialism for "sparrow"—was a nickname she would receive 20 years later.
Her mother, Annetta Giovanna Maillard, was of French-Italian descent on her father's side and of Moroccan Berber origin on her mother's. She was a native of Livorno, a port city on the western edge of Tuscany, Italy.
Edith Piaf - Les amants d'un jour
Louis-Alphonse Gassion, Édith's father, was a Norman street acrobat with a past in the theatre. Édith's parents soon abandoned her, and she lived for a short time with her maternal grandmother, Emma (Aïcha) Saïd ben Mohammed Before he enlisted with the French Army in 1916 to fight in World War I, her father took her to his mother, who ran a brothel in Normandy. There, prostitutes helped look after Piaf.
In 1929, at 14, she joined her father in his acrobatic street performances all over France, where she first sang in public
She took a room at Grand Hôtel de Clermont and separated from him, going her own way as a street singer in Pigalle, Ménilmontant, and the Paris suburbs
She joined her friend Simone Berteaut ("Mômone") in this endeavor, and the two became lifelong partners in mischief. She was about 16 when she fell in love with Louis Dupont, a delivery boy.
At 17, she had her only child, a girl named Marcelle, who died of meningitis at age two.Like her mother, Piaf found it difficult to care for a child while living a life of the streets, so she often left Marcelle behind while she was away, and Dupont raised her until her death. So , her life was very hard and you can see now that it was not easy for her ! she represented the streets and nobody can know what does that mean ! if you didn't live in the streets, i do think that you can't imagine how it is, how rude it is , not only phusically but above all for mental !
Edith Piaf - L'étranger
In 1935 Piaf was discovered in the Pigalle area of Paris by nightclub owner Louis Leplée, whose club Le Gerny off the Champs-Élysées was frequented by the upper and lower classes alike. He persuaded her to sing despite her extreme nervousness, which, combined with her height of only 1.42m, inspired him to give her the nickname that would stay with her for the rest of her life and serve as her stage name, La Môme Piaf
During this time she was in great demand and very successful in Paris
After the war, she became known internationally, touring Europe, the United States, and South America. In Paris, she gave Atahualpa Yupanqui (Héctor Roberto Chavero)—the most important Argentine musician of folklore—the opportunity to share the scene, making his debut in July 1950. She helped launch the career of Charles Aznavour in the early 1950s, taking him on tour with her in France and the United States and recording some of his songs. At first she met with little success with U.S. audiences, who regarded her as downcast. After a glowing review by a prominent New York critic, however, her popularity grew, to the point where she eventually appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show eight times and at Carnegie Hall twice.
Edith Piaf - Non je ne regrette rien
Oh this song is so special, so particular ! listen to it , listen to theses lyrics because what she said is a message of hope , hopeful so very important ! so listen , listen it in french and if you don't manage to understand it , you tell me !I will translate it !
Edith Piaf - Milord
Oh what a song , what a voice, what a woman !! She was so great so strong, so beautiful ! As we say in french "du pur bonheur" so enjoy , enjoy and enjoy it more !
Edith Piaf - Her biography
So my friends, here was just an image of a small part of Edith this greatest singer ! she was so great and her career was incredible ! her songs were so pure whereas when you had a look at her she was so weak ! oh thank you Edith thank you You were, you are and you walways stay a very great and incredible singer !
Thank you so much to offer us your life, your talent ! thank you so much your voice was very incredible ! we are proud of you
So my friends, i really encourage and invite you to pursue this discover of Edith Piaf , to listen to her songs
These two Mercedes Benz commercials remind me of my Dad. Especially the last one, in its German version, reminds me of what my Dad would have done, and said, if I brought a "hippie" home...
The U.S. Department of Interior announced today that the brown pelican will be taken off the Federal endangered list.
“At a time when so many species of wildlife are threatened, we once in a while have an opportunity to celebrate an amazing success story,” said U.S. Department of Interior Secretary Ken Salazar in a news release. “Today is such a day. The brown pelican is back!”
The prehistoric looking bird, which have a large presence on Ventura’s Channel Islands, were decimated by the impacts of DDT, which made their eggshells so weak they would crack during incubation.
On Anacapa Island — where there are now an average of 4,500 breeding pairs — there were no successful nests during the hardest-hit years. The bird’s recovery is largely credited to the 1972 ban on DDT, though much of the pesticide still lingers in the environment today.
Wednesday’s announcement is nearly the final step in taking the birds off the list, a process which began last year. It will officially be off the list 30 days after the ruling is published in the Federal Register.
So my friends, just enjoy riding a bike ! that is so nice , a very good way to discover our roads differently and also nature, forests, animals, to listen the birds, to listen to the silence !
