To Be or Not to Be, That is the Question

After my front desk duty at the Community/Senior Center
this afternoon went to a great Shakespeare/Musical
Production at Heisler Park in Laguna Beach.



Somehow my mind drifted to things 'to be' or 'not to be', archives, then paper...yup PAPER. 
Which will be around in long term future? Digital images or hard copies!? Archival paper is not the norm. Digital copies might be difficult to retrieve with the future of changing technologies. Which is better for thousands who work on family history, family journals and story telling.  The Dead Sea Scrolls survived, will digital? A question that many have.

Well here is a bit of an example of a hard copy. 
Notice the name "Carole Cadora" disappearing.
No doubt, like most, this is not archival paper.

IBC, International Broadcasting Center!

Sochi 2014 and Olympin!

Returned to the West Coast after attending a festive reunion with so many awesome classmates from Chestnut Hill College, in Chestnut Hill, Pa.  (So enjoyed Kathy Heidere, a classmate, who went to the Montreal 1976 games. We had a good chuckle about bumping into each other in Canada.  Such a buzz.) Among the pile of mail upon my return was a package from Olympin in New York.

The pin for Sochi 2014 was enclosed and had no Olympic rings!

Pimco, who once gave the license to the club, was no longer in charge of producing Olympic pins. Hmmm, nothing more permanent than change, aye? Now wondering about the new pin licenses. Many Russians, traditionally, had "pin fever". It will be interesting.  It seemed many more Russians than usual attended the 76 games...most likely because Moscow 1980 was to be next on the 'game plan'.

A Putin quote opens the Sochi Website:

"We are determined to organize a real celebration in 2014, a festival of sport, deserving of its unique mission: to unite people around the world with really significant values - a healthy lifestyle, tolerance and equality."
