"Singles Day" by Scott Keene

This piece comes out of a writing session done at the Library Coffeehouse Writers Group in Long Beach, Ca., which Calvin Harris H.W., M. conducts. It is written by, writer and friend Scott Keene of Long Beach, Ca.

There it was a date February 15, and there were even cards for it. They were right there next to the Valentine's Day cards and the Get-Well-Soon. He had never even heard of Single's Day and now here was a whole section.

    He was one of those people who believed that most of the holidays - at least all the lovey-dovey "National So-and-So Day" were just fodder for the greeting card industry. But still, he found himself needing one today. A "get-well-soon" this time which he wanted for a co-worker and casual acquaintance. Someone with whom he was terribly close wouldn't need a card - they would know in person how he felt.

    So, he stood and stared at the Single's Day section and wondered: was he still a single or was he now a couple?

 Participation in the writing group could lead you to find out something that you hadn’t revealed to yourself before.  If nothing else, you will have creative fun time in a relax supportive atmosphere.

Looking forward to your call or email letting me know your thoughts.

NOTE: Additional day and/or evening sessions are being considered for 2017 Calendar, please inquire and/or signup. Groups sizes are limited.

A Murder on the Appian Way

Hey glad you stopped by, got a book for you to read "A Murder on the Appian Way." A real whodunit page turner.

I loved this book, it gave a historical point of view on Political propaganda and the problem with engaging peoples prejudges rather than having them engage in critical thinking. 

“A Murder on the Appian Way” by American author Steven Saylor.

It is election year 52 BC and Rome has erupted in gang fights on its streets. A prominent political candidate Clodius Pulcher is found murdered on the main road, the Appian Way, the main suspect is the rival candidate Titus Annius Milo. A detective, known in those days as a finder is hired to find the truth after Rome’s Senate building is burned to ashes and the city teeters on the verge of destruction.

The story is rich with legendary powerful super stars of the day such as Caesar, Marc Antony, Pompey, and Cicero, all lurking in the shadows, with whispered gossip of plots and sexual escapes.  Gordianus, the finder, his task is to find and bring back the truth out of the chaos, but not without peril to his own life, for a trial, that is explosive and politically motivated by such luminaries as Cicero and Marc Antony. 

The power brokers work the cities inhabitants as if chess pieces on a chess board, a city now scared by fear and filled with madness.

From this book came the lesson of why there should be careful deliberation and critical thinking on the parts of voters when making a decision – two paragraphs I have condensed and paraphrased into this sentence is this -  “Yes Gordianus … because you went there, you saw, you spoke with witnesses …but the jurors (in our case, the voters) will have done none of these things, it is up to me (the politicians) to shape their perceptions, … truth … if man could be made to respond as they should by telling them the truth, do you think I would use any other tool?... But truth is not enough for them; often it is the very worst for a man with a cause (political ambition) …Thus there are men (politicians) who are clever enough to bend the truth … (they think) in order to keep the State free and in one piece.”  

This book, I found to be a very good read.  Let me know what you think.
