an opinion i have long held is that discovering a thinking person as impeccably articulate as yourself is as rare an experience as finding gloves in a glove compartment - it almost never happens. you must please excuse me if what i write causes embarrassment, but it is a pity to only think somethin...

As exemplified in my previous post, not only are capital letters disappearing, but so are words. Why bother trying to learn and remember all those combinations of letters (let alone having complex thoughts), when a little cartoon picture can express everything one could possibly want to say in any g...

...two weeks ago a swedish shop assistant says my 'samsung s-pen' has arrived at moa. was there today and it still has not come! :( Would you have to buy another 25 pens for all the other letters of the alphabet? Seems rather silly to me, to have a pen for only one letter. I hope it makes a very lo...

Sounds interesting! I'm glad it's not a biography...

That is really a very personal thing, as to what you prefer and as to what is "convenient". Anything from a napkin to a leather-bound journal will work -- large, small, plain or fancy, whatever makes you happy is "the best" for you. If you really have no idea, then you may wish to buy a few differen...

I’m not sure if this has been posted before. A nice little piece anyway. http://www.oldiesmusicblog.com/an-interview-with-eric-lerner-author-of-cohens-biography/ Heather Thanks, I enjoyed that. I particularly liked this bit: There’s nothing to disagree with or dispute in the book. You can open it a...

Thanks! Have a great weekend!

I wasn't offended in the least, I was merely coming to Lorca's defence, because I interpreted your remarks, your punctuation and your choice of emoji, as being somewhat negative and condescending towards Ms. Cohen. Your comments did not strike me as an innocent and merely curious enquiry as to her w...

...Question....Why is Leonard Cohen's daughter, Lorca, so un-involved ??? Lorca, where are you? Anybody know? :roll: ... Don't you think that the "rolling eyes" are a bit much, and rather disrespectful to Ms. Cohen? First of all, people have lives that are independent of their parents, no matter ho...

It is a wonderful thing to be gazed upon with such warmth and affection (and utmost attention) by a person whom one deeply admires. Lovely picture.

I've noticed that in the portraits of Leonard as an old man, his expression often seems to convey a happy peacefulness, compared to the much more common emotionally intense visage of his younger self. I am glad that he seems to have found traquillity later in life, which apparently eluded him for so...

This latest painting is beautiful and rather haunting -- I love the intensity of the eyes, so full of emotional depth, it makes me wonder what he's thinking.

Speaking of haunting:

I did look it up after you mentioned it above. Intriguing concept.

I like it! (Even though it is "lamentable" -- )

That author is a different Eric Lerner altogether. He's not the one who wrote the Cohen book.

Oh, well, thank you, I stand corrected! (It's still a good book, whoever the real Eric Lerner is!).
