View of Paris, 1886 – Van Gogh (1853-1890)
It is amazing what one can gleam from reading metrics on posts.
It appears making whoopee is very popular.
“Makin’ Whoopee” is a jazz/blues song, first popularized by Eddie Cantor in the 1928 musical Whoopee!. Gus Kahn wrote the lyrics and Walter Donaldson composed the music for the song as well as for the entire musical.
The title is a euphemism for sexual intimacy,[1] and the song has been called a “dire warning”, largely to men, about the “trap” of marriage.[2] “Makin’ Whoopee” begins with the celebration of a wedding, honeymoon and marital bliss, but moves on to babies and responsibilities, and ultimately on to affairs and possible divorce, ending with a judge’s advice.

Doris Day – Dream A Little Dream of Me
Dream A Little Dream Of Me
Star shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper “I love you.”
Birds singing in the sycamore tree.
Dream a little dream of me.
Say nighty-night and kiss me;
Just hold me tight and tell me you’ll miss me.
While I’m alone, blue as can be,
Dream a little dream of me.
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me
Stars fading but I linger on, dear
Still craving your kiss.
I’m longing to linger till dawn, dear,
Just saying this…
Sweet dreams till sunbeams find you
Sweet dreams that leave all worries far behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be,
Dream a little dream of me

Oh, he doesn’t seem interested.
See, this is how I would do it. I like sailing, but if he likes airplanes. He flies a Pilatus PC -12, right? I’d start with, “It’s great. I don’t’ now how to fly, but I do know now to navigate. I sailed across the Atlantic on a 49 ft sailboat, shorter than the 53-foot wingspan of your plane. ”
Now the story has something it do with him. He will look at his airplane’s wings and imagine the sailboat. And think you.

BLOOMS: Strobe Animated Sculptures Invented by John Edmark
Blooms are 3-D printed sculptures designed to animate when spun under a strobe light. Unlike a 3D zoetrope, which animates a sequence of small changes to objects, a bloom animates as a single self-contained sculpture. The bloom’s animation effect is achieved by progressive rotations of the golden ratio, phi (ϕ), the same ratio that nature employs to generate the spiral patterns we see in pinecones and sunflowers. The rotational speed and strobe rate of the bloom are synchronized so that one flash occurs every time the bloom turns 137.5º (the angular version of phi).* Each bloom’s particular form and behavior is determined by a unique parametric seed I call a phi-nome (/fī nōm/). -John Edmark
