Miscellaneous thoughts on politics, people, math, science and other cool (if sometimes frustrating) stuff from somewhere near my favorite coffee shop.

OMG YouTube
Stuff I've never seen before... stuff I only heard two or three times on the college radio station a decade or three ago... I go the the YouTube, and there it is. Here's Robin Williams doing Elmer Fudd doing Bruce Springsteen.
Not always YouTube, but I found Paddle To The Sea on the Internet. It was a 20-minute film my mom borrowed from the library (along with the projector) to show at a sleepover when I was in elementary school. About a boy who carves a canoe and sets it in a stream in the mountains, and the movie follows the little canoe all the way down to [spoiler alert] the sea.
Paddle-to-the-Sea is a children's book I grew up with (Amazon Page), by Holling Clancy Holling. Another of his books, Pagoo, had some slight effect on the course of my life. I would categorically recommend anything by this author. Though I haven't watched the clip yet, it's the first thing that comes up when you Google the title; thanks for the heads-up.
OMG, indeed!
ReplyDeleteI've always loved (and often imitated) that bit.
I know, right?
