A FEW FROM THE ARCHIVES:  

Hi. It's Thursday, September 24th. On this day in 1996, the United States, represented by President Clinton and other world nuclear powers, signed a treaty to end all testing and development of nuclear weapons. Aren't you tired of all the bickering and the fighting? As John and Yoko said, "Let's give peace a chance. " What can you do today, to give peace a chance?

​Hi, it's Wednesday, September 23rd. Day 195 of my COVID lockdown. Do you know one of the positive things of this whole thing is that I've gotten to spend more time with my two brothers and their wives. Today is the milestone birthday of ​my sister-in-law, Janet. One of the kindest, most generous people I've ever met in my life. Today's assignment: Give TSP ™ to one of your in-laws.

Hi, it's Tuesday, September 22nd, the first day of Autumn. We New Englanders love Autumn: the leaves get really really rich with color and they're filled with light. Kind of the way many people do as they grow old. Here is your assignment today: Find someone who is growing old- enjoy their color, enjoy their light, and learn something from them.

Hi. It’s Monday, September 21st. On this date, 123 years ago, the New York Sun gave us the words to live by, today: ​ "Yes ,Virginia there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist. And you know, that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas, how dreary would be in the world if there was no Santa Claus. Don’t you agree?

Hi, it’s Friday, September 18th. On this date 50 years ago, Jimi Hendrix died. Hendrix said, "music is a safe kind of high." People often ask me why I am in such a good mood or why I am so happy all the time: and I respond, "It’s because I sing and dance all day." ​Try it. Music IS a safe kind of high.

Hi. It is Thursday, September 17th. The 100th anniversary of the NFL. Now, I know lots of us have complained about the NFL in the past, the way they handled things, especially here in New England. But, don’t you think that the way that the players started the season this year was really good- the way they linked arms and supported one another? Martin Luther King Junior says "We are tied together by a single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality." What can we do to link arms -metaphorically -as we go forward today?

Hey, It's Wednesday, September 16th. Happy 67th birthday Lenny Clark. Now Lenny is a brilliant actor. I should know, I directed him twice, He's also been on the TV show, Rescue Me and the movie, Something About Mary. And he's a brilliant stand up comic. He's gifted. He can always make me laugh, no matter how grave the situation is. What a great gift-huh? ​To have a lightness of being. Make someone laugh today.

Hi. It's Tuesday, September 15th, Prince Harry's 36th birthday. So many of us love Prince Harry, in the States.  Well, he says things like, "gotta give something back" and "you can't just sit there." He's right.  We can't just sit there, anymore.  Let's all give something back today.

singing) "Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner...." Hey, it’s Monday, September 14th. On this day in 1814, Francis Scott Key wrote the Star-Spangled Banner and I have to admit at any event they play the Star-Spangled Banner, I stand up and I wail and I often get emotional. And you know, I think that’s the beauty of patriotism. It means something different to everybody because after all, we are ...(singing) "The land of the free...."
What does patriotism mean to you?


Hi. It's Friday, September 11th.  Whoa- hard to believe that 9/11 was 19 years ago today. There’s a great show on Broadway called Come From Away about 911 and there’s a lyric that says, "Something in the middle of nowhere. in the middle of clear blue air, you found your heart, but left a part, of you, behind." It’s another tough time now.  Find your heart.

Hey, it’s Thursday, September 10th. Happy 60th birthday Colin Firth. He won an Oscar for the King's Speech where he played George the sixth, the stutterer. Now he became king when his brother advocated the throne? He didn’t want to be king Do you know how many famous people have been stutterers? Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran Emily Blunt Joe Biden, Bruce Willis, James Earl Jones? What obstacles do you have, that you could turn around, and turn into an opportunity?

Hey, it's Wednesday, September 9th. 64 years ago today, Elvis Presley made the first of 3 appearances on the Ed Sullivan show. Here's what Elivs said, "Adversity is sometimes hard upon a man: but for one man who can stand prosperity, there are a hundred that will stand adversity. Turn your adversity into an opportunity today.  And swivel your hips as you do it. ​​​​
​

Hi, it’s Tuesday, September 8th. On this date 34 years ago, Oprah Winfrey's show premiered on television. Oprah said, "Doing the best at this moment, puts you in the best place for the next moment."  Make the most of every moment today!

(singing) "We can work it out..."   (speaking) Hey, it’s Monday, September 7th. Labor Day.  Thomas Edison said, "Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration."  Sophocles said, "Without labor, nothing prospers."  Aristotle said . "Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work." Work it out today!

Hi it’s Sunday, September 6th.  Happy 83rd birthday Jo Anne Worley. Do you millennials know who she is? From Rowan and Martin’s Laugh In.  She said. " I’m loud and loud and loud and proud and people can hear me when I’m in a crowd. " That’s one of the ways Jo Anne Worley does it. You can do it too!  How do you make yourself heard when you’re in a crowd?

Hi, it’s Saturday, September 5th. On this date in 1957,  Jack Kerouac's On the Road was published . An excerpt: As we crossed the Colorado/Utah border I saw God in the sky in the form of huge gold, sun-burning clouds, above the desert.  Where can you find God Today? 

Happy 39th birthday Beyoncé ! Queen Bee said, " I get nervous when I don’t get nervous.

Hi it’s Wednesday, September 2nd. On this date in 1901, Teddy Roosevelt said, "Speak softly and carry a big stick."  Now we know he was talking about foreign policy but what can YOU do to personalize that today? How can you carry a big stick by speaking softly?

Hi, it’s Monday, August 31st. World-famous violinist, Itzhak Perlman's 75th birthday. This is what he said, " You know sometimes it is the artist's task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left." Make your own kind of music today. Someone will certainly follow.

Hi it’s Sunday, August 30th. The measure of a country’s greatness is the ability to show compassion in times of crisis . These are the words of Thurgood Marshall. On this day in 1967, the Senate confirmed his appointment as the first black justice on the Supreme Court. Where can you find greatness today, by showing compassion?

Hi, it’s Friday, August 28th. On this date in 1774 Elizabeth Ann Seton, the first American born Saint, was born in New York City. Nelson Mandela said, "I am not a saint unless you think of a saint as a sinner who keeps on trying." Look, no one’s asking us to be saints, but we can keep on trying to do good things. All right sinners, what can we do today to bring us one step closer to sainthood.

The noblest search is the search for excellence." Hey folks. It’s Thursday, August 27th.  Today is the 112th birthday of Lyndon Baines Johnson .

Let it go!  Focus on what’s next and how you can make that ...excellent.

I propose the same challenge to you today: be artistic and intellectual at the same time... be on the street.

"(singing) "The best of times is now,  what’s left of summer but a faded rose"...  Hi. It’s Friday, August 21st. On this date, 37 years ago, La Cage Aux Folles, opened on Broadway. One of my favorite songs from that show is the Best of Times.
