Feeling Good

Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel

It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good

Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me

Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good


* Feeling Good, 1965 a song originally written for the musical The Roar of the Greasepaint- the Smell of the Crowd. By Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse.

Picasso in paris, 1900-1907

























When Pablo Picasso arrived in Paris in 1900 a new world opened 
up for the nineteen-year-old painter. Developing his own style and 
getting inspiration in the work of artists such as Van Gogh, 
Gauguin, Toulouse-Lautrec and Steinlen.

"With pioneering works such as Melancholy woman (1901, Detroit 
Institute of Arts) from his melancholy Blue Period and the famous 
Self-portrait with a palette (1906, Philadelphia Museum of Art) from 
his Pink Period, he paved the way for Cubism, which would forever 
change the course of twentieth-century painting.

The exhibition in the Van Gogh Museum traces Picasso’s artistic 
development from his arrival in Paris until 1907, when he had grown 
into a leading figure of the French avant-garde."

The poem creates a space.
It hides in a tent in a forest.
Making its own bed it falls asleep in the dark,
wakes up under a lamp or the sun.

Up in the Air!






































National Geographic Channel and a team of scientists, engineers, and two world-
class balloon pilots creating a real-life version of Pixar's animated hit film Up.

On March 5th at dawn they successfully launched a 16' X 16' house 18' tall with 
300 8' colored weather balloons from a private airfield east of Los Angeles, and 
set a new world record for the largest balloon cluster flight ever attempted. The 
entire experimental aircraft was more than 10 stories high, reached an altitude 
of over 10,000 feet, and flew for approximately one hour.
