Word of the Week:  EXPERIMENT

"A Trip to the Moon."

In my mind, the phrase "painful trial-and-error" has repeated itself over the decades.  How else do we learn?  How do we discover?  Life as I experience it is highly adaptive and therefore, experimental.  "THIS could work," the optimist's creed.

Because catalogs persist in showing us plus-size clothing on model-size models, we order with hope in our hearts, visions of loveliness making us nearly drunk with anticipation.  Reality often has different plans.  If we hadn't tried, we wouldn't know.

We continue to try on this existenc, that is our mission.  Mary Chapin Carpenter sings of, "...a life that's never safe and dry."  So it should be.  If the answers were known, why would we ever explore or step beyond the known, the tried, the relatively true?  It only takes one solution to erase the discouragement of the first million attempts, or something very like that.

And in case you forgot, very little agrees to being hurried.  Like, say, love.

When it has to be the Supremes or nothing

"You Can't Hurry Love" was the second single from the Supremes' album The Supremes A' Go-Go. It reached the #1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart in the United States, and #3 in the United Kingdom. The Supremes' version of the song is honored by inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's permanent collection of 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.
The Supremes also released their own Italian cover of the song: L'amore verrà (Love will come).

There is an aspiration: sit down and listen to all 500 songs that shaped rock and roll.  Let the games begin.
