Bad behavior

My friend Robert writes the blog Etiquetteer, and although I know he is no supporter of Donald Trump and his administration, I sorely wish he would be hired by them to offer some basic lessons in civility and manners.

Last week President Trump made disparaging remarks about Federal Justices who ruled against his temporary immigration ban and proceeded to attack them via social media, knowing that by law judges cannot respond. These actions are now becoming business as usual, and it makes me wonder how long it will take before this becomes how everyone in Washington, D.C. deals with each other. Common decency is no longer all that common, but we seem to have entered a new phase in American politics where the rude are championed – even admired – as long as you agree with their politics.

I do realize that some of my blog posts are guilty of the same rude behavior I’m decrying, but it is extremely disheartening to think that this is being encouraged by our President. I naively thought once sworn into office that President Trump might actually start to act presidential, but that hasn’t been the case. Quite the opposite seems to have happened in my opinion. It seems as if rude behavior is rewarded and this makes me wonder how this will influence society?  To quote the snooty maitre d’ from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, “I weep for the future.”

This week on Instagram: jaradrc

I can’t help but laugh when I watch this video of Jarad dancing at his softball Championship game. Jarad is from New Hampshire but we met here in Boston. He’s as friendly as he is handsome which is saying something. Beware, you may be smitten if you check out his account but he is definitely worth following.

Poetry for Valentine’s Day

loveWild Nights – Wild Nights!
Were I with thee
Wild Nights should be
Our luxury!

Futile – the winds –
To a heart in port –
Done with the compass –
Done with the chart!

Rowing in Eden –
Ah, the sea!
Might I moor – Tonight –
In thee!

By Emily Dickinson

My Valentine’s Day wish for you

love, gay, gay men kissingI know this isn’t the reality for everyone – even for some of you who are in a relationship – but if I could make a wish it would be for everyone to feel this way about someone and for that person to return those feelings.

The perfect Valentine’s Day gift: A night with The Boston Ballet

William Forsythe, danceLater this month Artifact, opens at the Boston Opera House.  The ballet is the result of a fortunate five year relationship between The Boston Ballet and choreographer, William Forsythe.  For those unfamiliar with William Forsythe, he has been compared to Balanchine and Graham and is recognized for the way he integrates ballet and visual arts.

In this ballet from Forsythe more than 30 dancers will dance in large groups to pas de deux, transforming classical forms of ballet into post-modern structures. Forsythe has also designed the sets, costumes and lighting, ensuring that the four-act ballet will be something very special to see. Get tickets before it sells out.
