The Sword-billed Hummingbird is a charismatic species from Andean South America. It is found from Venezuela and Colombia in the north to Bolivia in the south. The species belongs to a monotypic genus, Ensifera, and is quite different from all other hummingbirds; metallic green and bronzed overall, with a black bill that is slightly upcurved and longer than the body length. This is the only bird species with a bill length that exceeds the body length. When seen perched, the species usually holds its bill quite upright, presumably because of balance issues stemming from this long and relatively heavy structure. Picture taken at Zuro Loma, Ecuador.

Be the author of your own story. Your inner narrative will dictate your actions. Your inner narrative holds immense power in shaping your perception of reality and the way you navigate through life. It is the voice that whispers in your ear, coloring your thoughts, emotions, and actions.
“You are the author of your own life story. You have the leading role and get to determine how you interact with your supporting cast and other characters. Without realizing it, you may have allowed the events in your life to write your story for you rather than taking deliberate action to write it in your own voice. What will it take to love your life story to create the happy endings you desire?”
― Susan C. Young ―
“ You are the author of your own life...Don't let others define it for you. Real power comes by doing what you are meant to be doing, and doing it well.”
― Oprah Winfrey ―

In the land of the pale blue snow,
where it's ninety-nine below,
and the polar bears are roaming o'er the plain,
In the shadow of the Pole
I will clasp her to my soul,
We'll be happy when the ice worms nest again.

L'ETA' DI MEZZO

________________________________________________
LO SPORT COME CAMPO DI VITA
Che gioia colma di soddisfazione.
Sono sulla nave che mi sta portando in Sardegna,
precisamente a Cagliari.
Non sto più nella pelle.
Come dite?
Sono solo?
Ma no cari amici... siamo una bella combriccola di ragazzotti.
Andiamo per ordine però altrimenti il film non lo si capisce.
Siamo nel 1969, Armstrong aveva messo piede sulla luna da una settimana, proprio nella notte del mio 16° compleanno.
Tutta questa adrenalina mi sarà d'aiuto nella difficile impresa che vado a tentare insieme alla nazionale regionale
Toscana juniores, nell'isola che fu Pisana.
Rappresentare la mia terra, era un grandissimo onore.
Ma ditemi..
Che ci fa uno che gioca negli allievi della Turris del CEP,
nella categoria superiore?
Casi della vita e del destino.
La forte ala destra titolare, Giaconi,
era rimasta a casa per una banale appendicite fulminante.
Non c'era tempo per convocare qualcun' altro.
Il mio allenatore Loni, ex calciatore del Pisa anni 50,
tenta la carta disperata.
Si era ricordato di una vecchia regola quasi dimenticata in un cassetto.
Si poteva portare con la compagine Juniores,
anche un'atleta degli allievi.
Ci sarebbe il Paradossi, anche se giovane è fortissimo,
in campionato ha stracciato tutti.
La commissione: sarà all'altezza?
Loni:
"tranquilli li mangia tutti".
Che volete, ero il suo pupillo.
Ma di calcio se ne intendeva eccome.
Il giorno dopo ero sulla nave e non mi pareva vero.
Le nazionali regionali arrivavano alla spicciolata,
in quel fine luglio irreale.
Siamo andati sulla luna... vuol dire che può accadere di tutto.
Credetemi, fu proprio così.
La grande manifestazione era l'olimpiade delle nazionali regionali Salesiane e comprendeva vari sport,
tra cui il calcio.
Con un po' di sfortuna, e qualche decisione arbitrale non proprio azzeccata, arrivammo al terzo posto,
su un totale di 20 regioni.
Prima il Piemonte, seconda la religiosa Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Siamo alla fine dell'olimpiade,
ed il palazzetto dello sport di Cagliari brulica di giovani piuttosto chiassosi ed accaldati.
E' un'agosto infernale.
Contando solo i giocatori di calcio,
eravamo più o meno quasi 300 ragazzi,
l'impianto che ricordo bellissimo, era colmo in ogni settore.
Credo oltre le 2000 persone.
L'altoparlante sciorina i nomi degli atleti,
uno per ogni disciplina.
Io come sempre a ridere e scherzare con gli altri amici vicini,
non badavo troppo alla premiazione.
Ignaro continuavo a fare un gran baccano,
quasi fossi estraneo alla cerimonia.
Improvvisa la voce annuncia il vincitore del settore calcio.
Con la motivazione che ne attesta i meriti.
Grosso modo questa:
"Per la disciplina irreprensibile, per le doti tecniche,
per il suo grande attaccamento alla maglia ed ai valori sportivi,
per il calcio,
vince il giovanissimo Paradossi Stefano della rappresentativa Toscana".
Lo preghiamo di venire a ritirare la medaglia.
Tutti gli sguardi su me...
iooo... ci deve essere un errore.
Fu un attimo.
Uno dei migliori di tutta la mia lunga vita.
ERO SULLA LUNA.

"Smile on Saturday has the theme, 'What's in a Name?' and we immediately thought of where I got my name.
My folks were planning to get a blond brother of mine and had a long-thought-out name picked out but when they saw me that was all over faster than you can say, Black and Bouncy!.
My mom was reading a favorite author whose hero is a woman detective who lives on the central coast of California, Benni Harper. There you have it, why I have a name that sounds like a male dog. I love it."
"Oh, and Mom emailed the author and enclosed a photo of puppy me and Earlene Fowler was, of course, honored to share her name."

Pairi Daiza - September 2025
Pairi Daiza (formerly Paradisio) is a privately owned zoo and botanical garden located in Brugelette in the province of Hainaut, Belgium. The 65-hectare (160-acre) large animal theme park is located on the site of the former Cistercian Cambron Abbey, and is home to over 4,000 animals.[1] The name is taken from the Avestan word pairi daeza, which is the source of the English word paradise.
Korean-American Author Chang-rae Lee being interviewed as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival earlier today. I just finished reading his last novel, On Such a Full Sea, which is very interesting and only slightly dystopian. Recommended!
Chang-rae Lee talked quite a bit about his positive relationship with his mother, his amazing female heroine Fan who is an integral part of On Such a Full Sea and wanting to create a heroine for his daughters to love, growing up in Queens, NYC in the 1980s, trends now in terms of competitiveness in class in the US, and industry in China. He has a very calming voice as well as an intelligent one and I enjoyed hearing him.

I also saw Salman Rushdie before him but was too far away so only posted a screen shot from my phone on Instagram:
(Usually I have an all cats Instagram posting on Caturday so that's really something!) Rushdie was also great to see interviewed. He possesses such a great insight and humor sumultaneously. He made me laugh quite a bit and when I told him in person how much Ground Beneath Her Feet (my favorite novel of his) means to me, he acted as if that actually mattered, which is nice.
Also, not pictured, I had the delight to see Sarah Vowell as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival a week an a half ago at the Chicago Art Institute. She was quite hilarious as usual and had a great deal to say about modern art and politics. She also talked to me during the signing and said something like this,
"It's really cool the way the light from above hits your red hair in this certain way that you can't obviously see because you're not me sitting here looking at you." It was pretty funny. Overall, a really amazing Chicago Humantiies Lineup this time around!

Discover real Vietnam on travel review
The idea of Vietnam conjures strong images in the Western mind. Many come from a few iconic Vietnam War films. The country still features those lush rustic landscapes, peaceful now, of course, but modern Vietnam has grown beyond the...
Author Émile Zola once wrote, "We rushed off into the countryside to celebrate the joy of not having to listen to any more talk about politics", talking about reflection of France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War. At the time Montmartre was very much the countryside, just a village and orchards, shops and this, one of two remaining windmills.
