27Jun2025 - This is turning into a journal/journey-down-memory-lane thing. I'm looking through my old photo albums, and at the same time, other memories and thoughts are popping up in my mind. This is what old(er) people do, yes? 9May2025 - I decided to leave FB, and just share my photos etc here. Thank you to the special people who check in here...October2025 - I'm back... (7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.)

When I take breaks from my other activities, I read/listen to Audio books, and/or watch Netflix series that ran for multiple years and I haven't watched. Right now, I'm reading John Adams (second President of the US) by David McCullough, and I'm into Season 2 of "Homeland". Yesterday, earlier in the day, when my eyes were telling me to take a break, I was reading about how Thomas Jefferson, the 3rd President of the US, "joined Adams in France (1784) alongside Benjamin Franklin... to help negotiate treaties during the Revolutionary War". In the afternoon, I was watching "Homeland", and there was a scene with two of the main characters' high school age children talking about their homework: Jefferson sure did live it up. Wine, books... and Slaves How could he write, 'All men are created equal' 'from a plantation?' Dude was all confused You ever been there? Monticello? --- Interesting...thinking about how I was just reading about Jeffererson and his Monticello home... ps -one of the high school students in Homeland was played by Timothée Chalamet, who 10 years later (2024) won best actor awards for his portrayal of Bob Dylan
