@AmelieMatisse ha ha ha.. your response is the highlight of my day so far !! Happy Friday !!!
@IamNobody have a nice holiday weekend Henry
@AmelieMatisse thank you !! You as well ?
@IamNobody Abiento!
@AmelieMatisse vouliez-vous dire "a bientot"?
@IamNobody yes Henry I did want to say See you again but I got my French and Spanish confused with my wine ?and my spell check
@AmelieMatisse no worries, Henry has a habit to ask whenever in doubt. Merci bon ami ?
@IamNobody Always question when in doubt. Ciao
@AmelieMatisse I always do. Obrigado 
@IamNobody throwing in Portuguese! Very tricky
@AmelieMatisse oh I can do better than that.... Henry has been around the block ??
@IamNobody ?????
@AmelieMatisse and Henry now says muy buenos dias !!!
@IamNobody would you like a middle name besides Am? How about Henry James Nobody? You could then say you were named after an important writer
@IamNobody you are prolific...that is I chose James for your middle name
@AmelieMatisse Bon ami, you keep trying to change me and that's ok but at the end of the day I will still be me. And yet, got me thinking... Henry James ??... Let me take the opportunity to say something about me. I can't say something I am not. I like to read but there are so many genres and possibilities. Reading between the lines, I may say you are leaning towards literature. I am an engineer, I read basically books that make me think or biographies that let me "see" the person behind Physicist mostly. I am not going to pretend I know who Henry James is because I don't, even when I could've Google it to try to impress you. No, I rather get the details from you and discover a new reading topic. This Henry loves to learn, that's for sure !! Thanks and have a great Sunday bon ami
@IamNobody Hahaaa I got you to reveal a few things. That is great because I know better than to think you are nobody. I promise not to label you again! Mea culpa
@AmelieMatisse it's all good. Henry is fine. Henry James is probably too much. I love to write but I am no writer. Anyhow, thanks a lot for playing along. This has been fun !!!
@IamNobody playing along whilst getting points toward level 8 is a win win
@AmelieMatisse mmmmmhhhhh .... didn't look at it like that until now. You are a catch, no doubt !!!!! Are the papers ready?

Posted by snytiger6With the current trend of the far right moving into the forefront of many countries aroudn the world, perhaps it is time for people to rediscover the book "It Can't Happen Here" by Sinclair Lewis.
Posted by AmelieMatisseAnyone who is an art lover will enjoy this book. And if you are anywhere near Baltimore MD a trip to the Baltimore Museum will get you the chance to see the Cone sisters amazing collection for free
Posted by AmelieMatisseJust finished a biography on Frederick Douglass and this seemed like a good followup.
Posted by GuyKeithAnyone here like Joseph Heller? You may be familiar with Catch-22, but have you read his other books, especially Something Happened? If anyone has read it, let me know. I would like to discuss it.
Posted by ninjarider1Well, one can always hope!
