I was watching The Natural this evening for the umpteenth
time.The 1984 movie starring Robert
Redford and directed by Barry Levinson is a true classic.It was set in the pre-World War II heyday of
baseball.The film captured the essence
of noirish grit of the depression era ever so well.
The story in the film is so well crafted, I have often thought
about reading the novel of the same name by Bernard Malamud (1914 – 1986) on
which the film is based.It is on my
list, but I have yet to do it.For some odd
and unsubstantiated reason, I think the novel will be some combination of
tedious and disappointing.Why do I
think this?I have no clue and given
that Malamud is relatively respected writer though The Natural on the list of
his works that I actually recognized.
In typing in his name in Google, one of the suggested searches was
“Bernard Malamud quotes.”I clicked on
it.The first on this list impressed me
and opened a floodgate of thoughts:
We have two lives the one we learn with and the
life we live after that.
The first thought was that one is lucky if they can live these two
lives.That means that one learned enough
about themselves, what life is all about, and learned to use this knowledge to
navigate through it.My second thought
was there are probably lots of people who never learn or care to learn enough
to pass the first stage.There are
others that spend a lot of time learning and I wonder if I am one of them.Does that make the second short part all that
much sweeter?Lastly, there are those
that are blessed with the learning part early and easily.These folks then spend the large part of
their lives in that second phase.I
believe the people we refer to as “salt of the earth” are in this last and
enviable category.Maybe, just maybe, what
we need to learn and strive to learn is different for each of us.
A second quote I liked was almost a corollary to the previous one:
Without heroes, we are all plain people and
don't know how far we can go.
I certainly buy into
this.I love stories, books, and movies
about people who have done great and amazing things:inventors, innovators, great thinkers, leaders,
artists of every ilk.I love these
stories especially the military and sports heroes. I have written about these books and
movies.I also look for and find inspiration
in family, friends, and coworkers.There
are examples all around and it is good to be inspired.
There was a third quote that I liked as well:
Life
is a tragedy full of joy.
It is a very Taoist or Zen view of things.Life is a tragedy.It is a tragedy and a human comedy.It is also full of joy.It is mélange of opposites.One cannot truly experience joy and sadness
without the other.Maybe this is
something to be learned in the learning part of life Malamud refers to.The Natural is a movie that perfectly
embodies this quote.
Maybe I need to read The Natural.I am now thinking that it is probably even better than the very good
movie.
My friend Owen, who recently relocated from Chicago to Florida,
posted something about this on Facebook.Needless to say I had never heard of the term.But, as it was Owen, a fellow whose wit and
wisdom I greatly respect and the post mentioned that Winston Churchill loved
these paraphrasiological thingies, I read on.
Owen’s post, which he thanked his friend Edward for, defined a
paraprodoskian as a figure “of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or
phrase is surprising or unexpected.”An internet
search, revealed similar definitions, e.g.
A
paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence,
phrase, or larger discourse is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes
the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is
frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an
anticlimax. ~ Wikipedia
Another internet search (dang, if blogging, the way I do it, doesn’t
involve a lot of internet searches) took me to The Hindustan Times, yes, The
Hindustan Times.The author, Karan
Thapar, defined paradoxolitives as “a figure of speech in which the second half
of a phrase or sentence is surprising or unexpected. It can be a clever form of
wit or a neat way of making a dig.”Well
my interest perked right up at the realization these paradigicalisms can be
laden with sarcasm!I love sarcasm and have
tried to master two varieties of it:sarcasm so subtle the targeted person takes it as a compliment and the
exact opposite, the kind of sarcasm of obviously funny and is delivered with a huge
smile on my face.Are there other kinds
of sarcasm?
No wonder Winston Churchill loved them, among his many leadership
and diplomatic attributes, he could be on sarcastic SOB.
Sometimes we do things or notice phenomena that we are not so sure
about or cannot really get our minds around until we, or more likely someone
else, gives it a moniker i.e., names it.Such is the case with prespidiliations and in my previous blog
Manhattanhenge.
As it turns out, I have been an admirer and user of this turn of
phrase before knowing what to call them.My absolute favorite is, “I would agree with you, but then we would both
be wrong.”For years, whenever a maître d
asks if we have reservations, I respond:“We have reservations but we came anyway.”Another favorite is one attributed to Mark Twain
(but marktwainstudies.com claims he never actually said or wrote this):“Never argue with stupid people.They will drag you down to their level and
beat you with experience.”From The
Hindustan Times we have:
PG Wodehouse’s description of a fat woman is devastating:
“She looks as though she’s been poured into her clothes and forgot to say
‘when’.” So, too, Groucho Marx’s parting comment to his hostess: “I’ve had a
perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn’t it.”
In a comment on his post, Owen provided another example from the
king of both dry delivery and paraprodoskians, Steven Wright:“If at first you don't succeed, then
skydiving definitely isn't foryou.”
Here are the presbetyricals from Owens post for your enjoyment:

Whenever anyone brings up the subject of too many annoying scam
and robocalls, I always say the same thing.“Gee whiz, if we cannot eliminate robocalls, what chance do we have
solving the larger problems that face us.”It just seems logical to me.Sure, I understand that a lot of these calls originate from entities
outside the US and software makes it easy for the perpetrators setup such call
systems and hard to stop them.I am sure
it is not easy to stop these thieves and charlatans, but I cannot believe we
cannot eliminate these calls if we really wanted to.
Technology has made many aspects of our lives so much easier.But, it clearly has a dark side too.Cybercrime is real.This has been the year of ransomware. We have seen the Colonial Pipeline hacked
disrupting the flow of gasoline on the East Coast.They paid $4 million to get back online and
operating.More recently, JBS, which is
the worlds largest meat packaging company by revenue, was hacked.They paid $11 million dollars to get back
control of their business.The revenue of
Colonial Pipeline is $500 million and $51.2 billion for JBS.While the ransom sums are millions, it was
easier to pay than to try to fix the effects of the attack.
Ransomware is quite clever.Once into the Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERPS) of their
target, the hackers install the ransomware virus that basically encrypts or
makes the all the data of the company inaccessible.Companies these days are so dependent on ERPs
to handle practically every transaction in the business.If the data base is inaccessible, it is
impossible to transact any business.The
victims gladly pay the ransom to get the key, basically a complicated password
essentially impossible to duplicate, to get access to their data and hence
regain control of their business.
You would think that the system could be erased and restored from
a back-up.To do that, a company would
have to store their back-ups in a way that the ransomware attack cannot infect
the backup system as well.Thus, the
backup system must be physically separate from the same system.I imagine not everyone does this.Even if they backup their systems properly, I
imagine the ransomware criminals price the ransom at a level where paying the
ransom is the cheapest alternative.
Before ERPs, business was conducted via paper transactions and
inboxes and outboxes.ERPs automated much
of the paper-shuffling that was manpower intensive.ERPs do it more efficiently with less
people.There is no going back.Or is there?
While I have not given it a lot of thought, I have wondered why
Colonial Pipeline was shut down until the ransom was paid and their systems
restored.Shouldn’t every business have
back-up plans to run the businesses the old-fashioned paper-shuffling way when
a ransomware attack or similar catastrophe occurs?It seems logical, I just haven’t thought it
through enough.Operating at 70 or even
50% has to be better than being shut down for a week.
I am torn between two possibilities.First, I wonder if we are taking these
threats seriously enough.On the other
hand, I wonder if we have an Untouchables kind of cybersecurity force that has
thwarted ten times the number attacks then are ever reported.I would hope that the latter is true but
suspect that we have not been taking these threats seriously enough.A June 5th article, Are
We Waiting for Everyone to Get Hacked? - The New York Times, talked about
how in 2012 then Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, warned of a “Cyber Pearl
Harbor.” The article is a sobering and somewhat
terrifying read.
I hope we heed Mr. Panetta’s
warning before a disastrous attack happens.
On June 20, 2012, I first wrote about The
Summer Solstice.Today, I thought
about writing about it not remembering I had already done it.I was thinking about it today because I wrote
about The
Winter Solstice six short months ago.Since that day in December, the days have slowly gotten longer until
today, the longest day of the year and the first day of summer.Now that we have peaked out, the days will
get shorter at the same steady rate they got longer until, naturally, the
Winter Solstice on December 21, the first day of winter.
Clearly, these cosmic cycles and symmetries fascinate me and I am
not sure why.Maybe, had I lived centuries
earlier, I might have been a shaman of the cosmos.That sounds so much more appealing than being
a mere peasant or serf.No matter our
technological advances, this phenomenon has been constant throughout the ages.For us in the Northern Hemisphere, these
solstices occur in the summer the North pole is pointing directly at the sun
and when the South Pole is doing the same in the winter.
While I was working in New York, a summer solstice related event, Manhattanhenge,
became popular.I am guessing this
happened in the late 1990s.This is the day
when the rising and setting perfectly aligns with the East-West streets of the famous
Borough.It is something to see.I first noticed it when I was leaving work
one day.There were several photographers
with tripods and expensive cameras set up at each street as I walked to Grand
Central Station.After a few blocks, I
asked a friendly looking feloow what it was all about.He said, “Manhattanhenge.”With no further explanation, I understood what
he meant.I missed my train watching the
beautiful sunset.
I thought Manhattanhenge occurred on the solstice itself but
no.The streets in Manhattan are not
perfectly East and West.They are off by
29 degrees.So, Manhattanhenge happens
twice:about twenty days before and
after the solstice.This year it happened
on May 29th and 30th and will occur again on July 12th
and 13th.The internet
credits a renown astrophysicist, Neil deGrasse Tyson, with “discovering”
Manhattanhenge.I kinda think he coined
the term, though by doing
Chicagohenge 9-20-19
so and providing a schedule for when the phenomenon
would occur, he popularized the event.
I never took any photos of Manhattanhenge.But there are plenty of photos you can find
by simply doing an internet search for them.The tall building and narrow streets of Manhattan make some of the
photos quite beautiful.
There is a Chicagohenge as well.These happen a week before the vernal and fall equinoxes.I happened to be downtown on a beautiful
September day in 2019.We were going to
dinner with friends.I had dropped
everyone off at the restaurant, parked the car, and noticed the phenomenon by
total accident.I took the photos
included here.
Here is a video of Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson explaining it better
than I ever could.
A cool fifty years ago, in my senior year of high school, I read a
biography of David Ben Gurion and another, basically, pro-Israel book.I was trying to make sense of the 1967 war
and how Israel, surround by enemies who grossly outnumbered them, forged a
nation and was able to soundly defeat, in the case of the Six Day war of 1967,
Egypt.I concluded that righteousness
was on the side of Israel.After the
Holocaust, they had to create a nation for the survival of their people.They had to have self-determination and
defend themselves so as “never again” to be herded and slaughtered like sheep.
I drew parallels to the Jews and the Armenians.We were both persecuted throughout
history.Neither of us had been
independent for centuries.Our enemies
were all Moslem and wanted nothing more than to see us erased from the face of
the earth.I thought Armenia, if ever
free again, would have to be exactly like Israel:organized, fierce, and technologically
superior to our enemies in weaponry and command and control.
I was both naïve and correct at the same time.
The correct part was that Armenia would have to be organized,
fierce, and technologically advantaged on the battlefield.We would have to protect our borders.When attacked, as Israel had been and I am
sure Armenia would be, we not only had to repel the enemy but take lands that
were righteously ours.We had to have
that iron ladle Khirimian
Hayrig challenged us to forge.
The naïve part was Jews are simply more influential and wealthier
than the Armenians.They were able to
garner and sustain the support of the US and the UK.We were not.We think Russia is our ally and I am not sure they ever were or will
be.
Armenians in Armenia have lived on the lands Turkey and Azerbaijan
are coveting and carving up for centuries.We are indigenous to those lands.The Jews took lands that other people, Palestinians, who were of the
belief (a good belief I now admit) that they were indigenous.I rationalized this in my high school mind
simply by believing Jerusalem and the surrounding biblical lands were Israel
and belonged to the Jews.I was actually
elated when Jerusalem became fully part of Israel (looking forward to the day
Armenia would repatriate Ararat, Erzerum, Kars, Ani, Van, of course Kharpert, and more).I was actually wanting the restoration of
temple where the Dome of the Rock now sits.
Talk about naïve.
What is bothering me about Israel today is their treatment of the
Palestinians.A country founded on the
ashes of the Holocaust quickly become quite adept at the practice of ethnic
cleansing.At least 1 million Palestinian
have been displaced by Israel’s consolidation of land and control in what was
Palestine and what is now Israel.Since
2008, “5,739 Palestinians and
251 Israelis were killed” (Al
Jazeera) which is a 23:1 ratio.The map
above shows the shift in controls of the land.I now find this wrong, unjust, and very sad.
My
views changed.I will admit that back in
high school, I really only had or only sought out pro-Israel sources.They obviously influenced my perspective into
believing the Israelis were righteous and the Palestinians were
terrorists.The lands being historically
Israel and their fierce taking of it and holding it were an inspiration to how
I believe Armenia should be.
Over
the years, having gotten to know and become with friends with Palestinians and has
gotten me to shift my perspective.The
happenings in Armenia and Kharabagh this past year solidified the shift.Israel supplied munitions to Azerbaijan.Israel and Turkey battle tested their drones
in Kharabagh.We were fierce in our
defense but not as organized as we should have been and most certainly, we were
at a technological and command and control disadvantage.To top it off, Israel would love to have all
the Armenians in the Armenian Quarter of Jerusalem leave.They are making it difficult for Armenians to
stay there.So much for any kinship between
peoples that experienced genocide in the two World Wars.
I hope a true and
lasting peace can be established where the peoples can live and thrive freely
together.I want this for Armenia and
Azerbaijan.I want this for Palestine
and Israel.I do not see much chance of
this happening in either case.The world
has changed in so many positive ways, I am saddened that age old animosities
cannot be resolved peacefully. Am I done learning about this... not by a long shot.
There has been a lot of buzz about Naomi Osaka in the news
lately.I really did not know much about
her nor the details of why she was newsworthy.
I did know she was an athlete and if pressed, I would have
narrowed it down to golf or tennis.I also
was aware that she was headline newsworthy because of suffering from
depression.That was it.I had no intention to delve deeper and write
this blog about her.
Jason Gay is a sportswriter for The Wall Street Journal.I pretty much read everything he writes.He has a unique and mostly humorous
perspective but can also be serious and cerebral if the subject demands
such.I read him for the laughs but am
even more appreciative of his craft when he is serious.He is a very good writer.On June
2, 2021, his column was titled Listening
to Naomi Osaka.I read it, learned a
bit more about the tennis star, and found myself wanting to know more.I then stumbled across a more extensive
article about Osaka in The New Yorker:Naomi
Osaka’s Complicated Withdrawal from the French Open.I read that as well and here I am writing
about it.
Naomi Osaka is a tennis star.She is 23 years old and has won four Grand Slam championships, most
recently the US and Australian Opens.She is ranked #1.She is the
first Asian tennis player to have a #1 ranking.Last year she earned more than $50 million from a combination of tennis
prowess and the resulting endorsements.Her
mother is Japanese.Her father is Haitian.She was born in Japan but has lived in the US
since she was 3 years old.
In professional tennis, players are required to attend press
conferences and are fined if they do not.Some players that can afford to forego the press conferences and pay the
fines.Are the press conferences
necessary?I don’t know but there are
lots of fans who want to hear from the stars of the game.Do reporters ask pointed questions in a quest
to create more newsworthy content, usually controversial, than might otherwise
be there?Certainly, they have a job to
do and are trying to advance their own value in their profession. I suppose it is all part of the culture of celebrity.
To me it matters not that Osaka is a woman, a tennis player, half
black, or half Asian.Race, gender, particular
sport, or artistry of any kind all have a role in such a situation.But, to me, I am more intrigued by the phenomena
of being so young and suddenly becoming unbelievably wealthy and incredibly famous.How does that not go to one’s head?How does that not mess with one’s head?How does that not mess with one’s head especially
in a sport laden with the pressure of intense competition and an entourage of
people dependent on your doing well for their own livelihoods?I am not sure how well I would handle becoming
super wealthy and famous at my current age.At 23, wow… I couldn’t even imagine how I would have reacted.We have seen athletes, movie stars, and musicians
handle it in so many ways.Some, spend
all their money faster than they ever could have imagined, live large, and
become destitute once they beyond their physical peaks.Others handle it through self-medication and
spiral downward as a result.There are
also those that handle it well and become astute managers of their lives and brands.There are numerous movies of luminaries,
fact and fiction, at both extremes.There
is a reason they have remade a Star is Born like 17 times.
When I was 23, I would have had little sympathy for Naomi
Osaka.I would have said, “What are you
fricking complaining about… you made $50 million dollars last year. Suck it ip,
you have it made!”Now, I am much more
sympathetic and understand that neither wealth nor fame is a guarantee of
happiness or a shield from depression and other mental health issues.
Wishing the best to Naomi Osaka and everyone battling health concerns of any kind.
This all made me think of Plato’s quote:Be kind for everyone you meet is fighting a
hard battle.It also made me recall the
E. A. Robinson poem, Richard Cory, and the Simon and Garfunkel interpretation
of it.
They say that Richard Cory owns one half of
this whole town With political connections to spread his wealth around Born into society, a banker's only child He had everything a man could want, power, grace and style
But
I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living And I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be Oh, I wish that I could be Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory
The papers print his
pictures almost everywhere he goes Richard Cory at the opera, Richard Cory at a show And the rumor of his parties and the orgies on his yacht Oh, he surely must be happy with everything he's got
But
I, I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living And I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be Oh, I wish that I could be Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory
He freely gave to charity,
he had the common touch And they were grateful for his patronage and they thanked
him very much So my mind was filled with wonder when the evening
headlines read "Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet
through his head"
But
I, I work in his factory And I curse the life I'm living And I curse my poverty And I wish that I could be Oh, I wish that I could be Oh, I wish that I could be Richard Cory
I was surfing the TV, basically to see what else was on TV.There were no movies that caught my fancy.I have had little interest in the news since
the denouement of the January 6th insurrection that solidified
conspiracy theories in the minds of so many and that basically solidified the
divide in the Congress.
I was about to turn the TV off when I saw something on HBO Latino
that brought a smile to my face and warmed my heart.The guide showed “Juan Luis Guerra 4.40:
Entre mer y palmeras.”It was airing later
this evening.I hit “Watch Now” and
popped on some headphones to really listen and enjoy.
Juan Luis Guerra?
Never heard of him?
Juan Luis Guerra has sold over 30 million records (CDs,
downloads?).He is arguably the best
musician in the Dominican Republic… maybe ever.
I had not heard of him either until the late 1990s.That did not surprise me since my musical
focus is overwhelmingly Armenian, Turkish, Greek, Arab and Persian.But, I worked in the Latin American Division
of Colgate-Palmolive for about fifteen years.I travelled throughout the region on business and came to appreciate the
culture of many of the countries.This
included language, cuisine, literature, history, art, and music.I did not master any of it but was a serious
dabbler.
I learned to love Boleros.There was an article in a local newspaper in Cali, Colombia about the history and popularity of Boleros. It was the
first full newspaper article I ever read in Spanish.I definitely got the gist of the
history.Boleros are
basically love songs and romantic dances with beautiful music and especially
poetic lyrics.Later that evening at a team
dinner, I mentioned the article and my interest in exploring the genre. The next day we visited a music store
and I bought a CD of Boleros from the 1950s and 60s. Basically, it was a collection of classics. I listen to it several times a year when I am missing my
travels and friends.Bésame Mucho may be
the best known Bolero of them all.
When I was in the Dominican Republic once, we were at a company
celebration.There was Merengue music
and people were dancing.I liked the dancing, but it was kind of hyper-frenetic with simply musical phrases repeated over and over again.It was good house music for dancing, clearly, as the dance floor was full.But, it was not so good for listening.Again, in chatting with some colleagues I
asked what if this music had folk roots.The answer, as I suspected, was “of course it originated here in the DR.”I then inquired what the music sounded like in the early days of this genre. They were not understanding me, so I related the story of the Bolero and my love for the early recordings. I asked if it was always this fast
and hectic and if not, I would love to hear those versions.The answer was “ah, ok, you need to listen to Juan
Luis Guerra.”Another visit to a music
shop and I had a collection of his greatest hits.I
loved it.
Somehow over the years, I have not seen that CD since we moved to
Illinois.I kind of forgot about Juan
Luis, well, until this evening.This
concert is 71 minutes long.It is set on
one of the beautiful beaches of the DR in the late afternoon.The musicians are simply the best. The are precise and so talented they make it look easy.The compositions and arrangements are exquisite.And his voice, as smooth as ever.I had not ever really watched him on video, so
this was a real treat.
Juan Luis Guerra was born on June 7, 1957, in Santo Domingo.So, I am watching and writing about him on
his 64th birthday.He is
known for his Merengue and Bachata dance music but this HBO special shows his mastery
of bolero, baladas, and forays into jazz and rock.He is a great talent that I am most delighted
to have found again.
Here is one of his songs:La Llave De Mi Corazon
