Today is the birthday of Carole King (1942). She wrote and performed so many wonderful songs that it’s hard to choose what to post. So here are two of my favorites.

Job interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?Me: I personally believe my biggest weakness is listening.
I’ve been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.
If humans held hands around the equator of the earth, most of them would drown.
Whoever said nothing is impossible never tried slamming a revolving door!
I have a condition that stops me from dieting. I get hungry.
Yesterday I bought a sweet car online.Previously owned by Neil Diamond.
I’ve started writing a book about hurricanes and tornados.It’s only a draft at the moment.
I was walking past the fridge last night when I thought I heard the onions singing Bee Gees songs.When I opened the door, it was just the chives talking.
I never thought I would be the kind of person who would get up at 5:00am and exercise.And I was right.
Dog wins!
Today is the birthday, in 1948 of Dan Seals – the younger brother of Jim Seals of ‘Seals and Croft’. Dan had a remarkable music career in his own right. Before moving to country music where he had a number of hits, he was known as ‘English Dan’ and, with John Ford Coley, had this soft rock hit.

Advice column…
Dear John,
I hope you can help me. The other day, I set off for work leaving my husband in the house watching TV. My car stalled and then it broke down about a mile down the road and I had to walk back to get my husband’s help.
When I got home, I couldn’t believe my eyes. He was in our bedroom with the neighbor’s daughter!
I am 32, my husband is 34, and the neighbor’s daughter is 19. We have been married for ten years. When I confronted him, he broke down and admitted that they had been having an affair for the past six months. He won’t go to counseling and I’m afraid I am a wreck and need advice urgently. Can you please help?
Sincerely, Sheila

Dear Sheila,
A car stalling after being driven a short distance can be caused by a variety of faults with the engine. Start by checking that there is no debris in the fuel line. If it is clear, check the vacuum pipes and hoses on the intake manifold and also check all grounding wires. If none of these approaches solves the problem, it could be that the fuel pump itself is faulty, causing low delivery pressure to the injectors.
I hope this helps,
John

Yesterday (yes I know I’m late) was the birthday, in 1809, of Felix Mendelssohn. I like a lot of his stuff but I’m sure all of you will recognize his most famous work. This is a well-done rendition.
and here is the orchestral version which is also very nice.
