Sadly, Madame Nora Venchi (pictured above) passed away last week at 92 years of age. Madame, for as long as I’ve known her has been the Secretary-Treasurer of our Condo Association and because she had no family to leave behind, we became her family and she took good care of us. Nora who was unusually petite, was originally from South America, spoke six languages, and was a prima ballerina who also taught at Harvard.
She adored my daughter Cami ever since she was a little girl and every time she saw her, told her how beautiful she was. I’m sure Cami adored the fact that Madame was one of the very few adults that she ever got to tower over. I miss you already Madame and can only hope that you are now dancing with the angels.

MEDIA
Great personalities talk about how much they love where they live, and the people who also live there, talk about how much they love them.
You know you’re getting old when the only name you recognize in Ringo Starr’s All Starr Band which is filled with oldies acts, is Ringo’s.
How did Hitler grab the top spot as being the worst guy on earth? Hell, he only killed six to nine million people, Stalin killed twenty to thirty.
Speaking of Hitler, when he got himself all lathered up at all his rallies, I wonder what the hell he was yelling about?
How do the lyrics in Hip Hop and Rap slide by without anybody slamming them?

First of all, every car is worth about 25% of it’s original purchase price after 5 years. (12% actual trade value). Electric and Hybrids depreciate even more because of the eventual cost to replace the battery. Yachts are even worse!
Down at my condo pool, the music playing the loudspeaker is from the 60s and 70s. The Frank Sinatra station is number one at Hospice!
RE your comment about your music — I do PA for local high school baseball team. My pre-game music covers the players (18 years old and under). Parents (40-50) and others up to ancient. What goes into my batting practice and pre-game playlist?
