Bradley Cooper became Leonard Bernstein in this beautifully-filmed cinematic and musical juggernaut, “Maestro”. His recreation of Bernstein conducting the finale of Mahler’s Resurrection Symphony was masterful, illustrating that divinely inspired music elevates the soul. #Maestro

Our family #Thanksgiving tradition is to write a memory of the day’s gathering on a large poster board-a shared joke or a funny comment-then bring them all out and enjoy them each year. We have one for every year since 1979. Many of these people are gone now but never forgotten.

@emdashklatt I just discovered and read “The Jaunt” by @StephenKing and now I’ve found this thread. My teachers assigned so many of these stories…The Lottery, All Summer in a Day, The Necklace and others mentioned here. I’m so glad they did. What else sticks to memory so long? You should too
