Well, since it's nearly 4:00 AM in NYC on February the 15th of 2016, I think it's safe to say that Elaine, the psychic who appeared on Peter Venkman's TV show,"World of the Psychic," was wrong re her premonition which, as you just heard, was this: “According to my source, the end of the world will be on February 14, in the year 2016.” Thankfully, it appears the world did not end last night as Elaine had thought it would.

Library Lovers Day
Today in addition to it being the holiday of Ystävänpäivä in Finland and Sõbrapäev in Estonia, as well as Valentines Day in most places, it's Library Lovers Day!
And one of my favorite libraries is the moveable library at Long Beach In New York, which can be seen in the first picture accompanying this Blogger entry. But since it's only nine degrees today I have no plans to visit it today.
However, once it gets warmer I hope to Long Beach, donate some books to the library, and enjoy the antics of the beach-bum birds!
Happy Valentines Day to You & Yours!
Happy Valentine’s Day, dear reader, from me, as well as the entourage of whimsical characters who have graciously been lending their voices to my social media entries since February 1st 2016.

For A Prisoner of Love
Ever since February 1st 2016, in honor of Valentine’s Day prep, I have been sharing the stories (here and on Blogger as well as Fb) of an array of whimsical characters who have come to visit me during this time period. Since today is already February 10th and Valentine’s Day is only four days away, they will be leaving soon, and in anticipation of this, one of my whimsical characters has confided in me that he is a prisoner of love, and cannot seem to get the key to his girl’s heart. This character has apparently heard #Delilah on the radio as he knows she plays songs to help her callers to cope with their (mostly) love life situations. Because he could not get through her busy phone lines, he asked ME to play a song to help him understand his situation, and I thought of “Prisoner In Love,” the instrumental version by Coleman Hawkins and Ben Webster.

The Year of The Monkey
Happy Chinese New Year to you and yours, dear reader. I guess you know that in their calendar, tis The Year of The Monkey.
Perhaps Julius The Sock Monkey is happy about this news, for any time it’s the year of a given animal, folks begin to think more about that animal type.
However, Julius The Sock Monkey may not need The Year Of The Monkey as an excuse to endear others to him. After all, he has notoriety from being the fictional character created by cartoonist and fashion designer, Paul Frank. And he appears in a variety of media today, including The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Remembering Bob Marley
Yesterday, in addition to it being eight days before Valentines Day, and two days before the onset of The Year of The Monkey in this 2016 Chinese New Year, as well as one day before the Super Bowl (which I know NOTHING about); it is the birthdate of Bob Marley. (He was born in 1945 and died in 1981.)
Mr. Marley is known for many quotations and songs, but one that is fitting for me at this time is "Three Little Birds."
