"Put a summer watermelon in your stomach" حط في بطنك بطيخة صيفي Rough translation: ‘He’s got a summer watermelon lodged in his stomach.’ Is that co-worker of yours awfully calm amidst chaos? That driver in front of you simply cannot be bothered to pick up the pace? Well, you could say they have a ‘summer watermelon’ blissfully filling up their stomach. Often used to denote nonchalance and a lack of care, the origin behind this particular saying is fairly straightforward. Watermelon is filled with vitamin B6 and other essential nutrients that help relieve muscle ache and stress, so the connection makes a lot of sense.

I believe in fate. Sometimes that means an old bearded guy sitting on a cloud and pulling the strings; sometimes it means random atoms swirling through a cheerless universe; sometimes it means everything being preordained thanks to your karma credit from your previous lives.

Shopping malls across the county are dying fast, and my images of them are very nostalgic for most people that grew up attending these malls. These malls were communal spaces. These were gigantic chat rooms before the Internet existed. You went to the mall to meet and communicate with others, not just to shop.

When was the last time you spent a quiet moment just doing nothing - just sitting and looking at the sea, or watching the wind blowing the tree limbs, or waves rippling on a pond, a flickering candle or children playing in the park?

So it's home again, and home again, America for me! My heart is turning home again, and there I long to be, In the land of youth and freedom beyond the ocean bars, Where the air is full of sunlight and the flag is full of stars.

All the lessons are in nature. You look at the way rocks are formed - the wind and the water hitting them, shaping them, making them what they are.

The ocean has always been a salve to my soul…the best thing for a cut or abrasion was to go swimming in saltwater. Later down the road of life, I made the discovery that salt water was also good for the mental abrasions one inevitably acquires on land.

I count it as an absolute certainty that in paradise, everyone naps. A nap is a perfect pleasure and it's useful, too. It splits the day into two halves, making each half more manageable and enjoyable. How much easier it is to work in the morning if we know we have a nap to look forward to after lunch; and how much more pleasant the late afternoon and evening become after a little sleep. If you know there is a nap to come later in the day, then you can banish forever that terrible sense of doom one feels at 9 A.M. with eight hours of straight toil ahead. Not only that, but a nap can offer a glimpse into a twilight nether world where gods play and dreams happen.

Actor Larry Brantley performed the humorous inner monologue of an impossibly charming Jack Russell terrier who imagines himself the hero in some of the most timeless tales of classic literature, from “Romeo and Juliet” and “Oliver Twist” to “Don Quixote” and “Frankenstein.” The goal for “Wishbone” was to make these stories accessible for children, paying homage to the source material, while aiming to instill young viewers with the interest to pick up the books themselves. Plenty of millennials who are now adults will attest to its success.
