No no no … not THAT time machine!!! This time machine …

Now, where was I … oh yeah … turn the dials back to 1961. I was ten years old, but I remember this one … still catch myself singing it every now and then.
This song was written by Ernie Maresca and originally recorded by Dion, aka Dion Francis DiMucci. Maresca had co-written Dion’s previous number-one hit, Runaround Sue, but originally intended The Wanderer to be recorded by another group, Nino and the Ebb Tides.

My Wordless Wednesday is Filled with Words

Speechless perhaps, wordless, nope! Sometimes I say there are no words to describe this moment or emotion, you just become absorbed in the essence of the impact. And at times, as the old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Still, words penetrate the pores of our senses and define something so ethereal and breathtaking that makes us gasp with the thrill of a simple “WOW!” Words manage to flow in unimaginable waves of definitions that fill the heart with curiosity and wonder. Words are always a part of our language, whether we express them or not, they are there. Cheers to a Wordful Wednesday!

A Literal Tower
This building is like a book. Its architecture is the binding, its text is in the glass and sculpture.

Artist Ilan Manouach bound together 21,450 pages of the popular Japanese comic “One Piece,” and, in doing so, he created what is believed to be the longest book ever—so long that it is physically impossible to read.
A barricade of books
Steps in equal measure
A cascade on the ramparts
Words littered with pleasure
Spines out
Flesh within
Inverted halo
