The Hemingway-Pfeiffer House, also known as the Pfeiffer-Janes House and Carriage House, is a 1910 Colonial Revival structure located at North 10th Avenue and West Cherry Street. It is where novelist Ernest Hemingway wrote portions of his novel, A Farewell to Arms. Hemingway was married to Pauline Pfeiffer, the daughter of the owners of the house, Paul and Mary Pfeiffer, from 1927 to 1940. The structure was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The house is now the home of Arkansas State University's Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum and Educational Center.

After our tour of the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West, we stopped in the gift shop for a quick peek. Several of the property's famous polydactyl cats realized that the air-conditioned shop was the best place for a nap. This particular kitty was huge, and it's not all fur -- I could feel the expanse of her belly when I petted her. I'm not sure if she'd been overindulging in the many bowls of cat food strategically placed along the grounds, or if she was pregnant with kittens. In any case, she was shy but sweet.

May 24, 2011. Havana, Cuba. For those in the know Ernest Hemingway had two favorite bars in Cuba. One was called "La Bodeguita del Medio" which I posted earlier and the world famous "El Floridita" known for its amazing Daiquiri. I hope to visit the island later this year or early next year and I'll be visiting both and applying some Nikon power but in the mean time, this will do. I ran it Lightroom and did a little magic on HDR Efex Pro from Nik Software enjoy.
Ernest Hemingway—whose birth and death fall in July—immortalized his two favorite Havana bars thusly: “Mi mojito en La Bodeguita, mi daiquiri en El Floridita.” Today, fans flock to Cuba to drink his beloved drinks in his go-to watering holes.

Lament for the Month by Tennessee Williams
Named for one of the ‘lost poems’ written by Williams. He describe how moths, the sensitive people, will always be stamped on and crushed by the mammoths. The figure in the center is Williams in a horizontal position, seemingly trampled, implying that he is a moth. His one bent knee represents a last twitch before death.

Ernest Hemingway is the manliest genius I can possibly think of. Though I haven't read a huge selection of his work, his writing style makes him a genius.
It's not often I imagine that lists of great writers includes Hemingway, a man with perhaps the sparsest prose style ever, and Lovecraft, a man who is notoriously flowery at his worst. But Hemingway is the man who's writing, though I came late to it, really changed the way I thought about writing in general. Someone like George Orwell has a strong, sparse style also, but Hemingway elevates it into an art. Wonderfully evocative descriptions using only five words. It's that kind of writing that forces you to re-examine your own work and see how much chaff there is to be rid of. And even then, you won't approach the stylistic joys of Hemingway.
The best example that I can think of is a story of his called Baby Shoes:
'For Sale: baby shoes. Never worn.'
Succinct. Poignant. Brilliant. There will never be another like him.

I don't remember what was in this, but the picture in the cocktail menu looked good.
It was a too sweet for me.
Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little meets with freshman students of Oswald and Self Halls during FYE's Hawkweek, to kickoff the Common Book initiative. Ernest Hemingway's "A Farewell to Arms" was selected for the 2015-16 school year.
KU Common Book is a campus-wide initiative to engage first-year students. A key component of Bold Aspirations, the KU strategic plan, is investing in first-year intellectual experiences. As part of this emphasis, KU Common Book will generate opportunities for shared intellectual experiences that invite analysis, foster critical thinking, and reflect the type of reasoned discourse expected at a university.
First-year students receive the common book at Orientation and are encouraged to read and discuss the book at activities and programs throughout the year. The Common Book was selected by a committee comprised of faculty, staff, and students from nominations generated by the KU campus. Although the program focuses on freshmen and transfer students, the steering committee invites participation from all students, as well as faculty and staff who wish to include the book in their classes and programs.
This reminded me of the Ernest Hemingway book The Old Man & The Sea. This old timer was battling the wind, rough surf & sea weed. I got the feeling it really did not matter if he caught a thing. To him, the fun was just being out there. Maybe that is the secret.

It was in apartments like these that Ernest Hemingway lived during his employment as a reporter for the Kansas City Star.
It is just minutes after mating, as our guide said. But we didn't see their mating. During the mating season, the lion and one of its wives make a private honeymoon. After several days, the lion change the wife, and go on with the next! During that time other wives take care of children and prepare the meal!
Really he is a SULTAN!
The penny Ernest Hemingway reputedly flung down onto the patio of his in-ground pool at the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West, in frustration over escalating pool construction costs. According to legend, he told then-wife Pauline, ''You’ve spent all but my last penny, so you might as well have that!'' Today, the penny remains embedded in the patio's cement and preserved under glass.
Courtesy of a mutated predecessor, quite a few of Hemingway's cats are polydactyl (many-toed). The original cat was a gift to Hemingway from a friend of his - she bred, and those litters bred. The Hemingway house aims to hold about sixty, with the numbers controlled through spaying.
The house was built by Asa Tift, a marine architect (and Confederate mariner), in 1851. In 1931 Hemingway purchased it and lived here with his second wife, Pauline, and their two sons until 1939.
Here, Hemingway completed the final draft of "A Farewell to Arms," as well as "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" and "The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber".

The Cours Mirabeau is a wide thoroughfare, planted with double rows of plane-trees, bordered by fine houses and decorated by fountains. It follows the line of the old city wall and divides the town into two sections. The new town extends to the south and west; the old town, with its narrow, irregular streets and its old mansions dating from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, lies to the north. Along this avenue, which is lined on one side with banks and on the other with cafés, is the Deux Garçons, the most famous brasserie in Aix. Built in 1792, it has been frequented by the likes of Paul Cézanne, Émile Zola and Ernest Hemingway.

After touring the Hemingway Home and Museum on Key West, we headed into the backyard to check out Ernest Hemingway's writing studio, gardens, and grounds. Along the way, I spotted one of the feline descendants of Ernest Hemingway's polydactyl cats relaxing in the shade of a planter. (Not all of the cats have six toes, but all carry the polydactyl gene.)
