Discovering surface water on the forest floor proved to be an opener of the heart. It took me deeper into the soil to learn more about mushrooms and their importance to the survival of a tree. The act as conductors of communication. Which made me think about human nature. What connect our inner core to others? The digital world is outside. Within our personal energies what keeps us connected? How can sharpen that gift?
From the New York Times bestselling author of MRS. KENNEDY AND ME and FIVE PRESIDENTS comes MY TRAVELS WITH MRS. KENNEDY by Clint Hill and Lisa McCubbin Hill (on-sale October 11, 2022; hardcover), a collection of never-before-told stories and more than 200 rare and never-before-published photographs documenting Secret Service Agent Clint Hill's travels with Jacqueline Kennedy throughout Europe, Asia, and South America.A United States Secret Service Agent from 1958 to 1975, Clint Hill was assigned to First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy and was in the motorcade in Dallas on November 22, 1963, when President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. For his courage and swift actions that day, Hill received the nation's highest civilian award for bravery.Recently, while preparing to sell his home, Clint discovered an old steamer trunk in his garage containing forgotten photos, handwritten notes, personal gifts, and treasured mementos from the trips on which he accompanied Jackie Kennedy as her personal Secret Service agent. These trips took the pair through Paris, London, India, Pakistan, Greece, Morocco, Mexico, South America, and more, during which Jackie Kennedy became, according to Hill, "one of the best ambassadors the United States has ever had."From the tender moments, the private laughs, the wild adventures, and the deep affection he shared with one of the world's most iconic women, Hill provides new insight into the intensely private figure he always called "Mrs. Kennedy" and who always called him "Mr. Hill." Hill also reveals startling details about how traveling helped them both heal during the excruciating and grief-filled weeks and months following the assassination of President Kennedy. He writes of the year he spent protecting Mrs. Kennedy after the assassination, a time in his life he has always been reluctant to speak about.
There's more to all of this. The expectation is to do more than just show up...
It's not because we're dressed up in old people's clothes but each morning my wife and I find great joy in watching sitcoms from the 1950's and 60's. Much of that lifestyle seen on the screen is long gone and forgotten. The way John Forsythe dressed on Bachelor Father compared to Seinfeld, The Connors, The Goldberg's and Abbott Elementary. That black and white world that John Forsythe participated with truly had color. Eventually the episodes became fashion shows. Petticoat Junction to The Partridge Family, Brady Bunch and to the rebirth of Bell Air on Peacock. Watching Antenna TV lets me see what moved through my parents and quite possibly how I grew into becoming me. And the subject covered are still dealt with today!!!

After 30 years of interviews with Queen's gatekeepers, guitarist Brian May and drummer Roger Taylor, Mark Blake has written a new book called Magnifico!: The A to Z of Queen. Two decades after Freddie Mercury's death, the band is enjoying a "second coming" style revival, as seen in the phenomenal success of the movie Bohemian Rhapsody and the excitement over the brand new single "Face It Alone", featuring Freddie's vocals. In 132 stories, anecdotes, and observations, Mark addresses Freddie's early life to show why the story of Queen is really the Freddie story. With never-before-heard information, Magnifico! is a deep dive for the Queen aficionado and also breezily accessible for the reader who would like to dip into the many stand-alone stories.
An American tradition dating back to the Whiskey Rebellion of 1791 when farmer-distillers rebelled against new federal taxes on making liquor, moonshine has grown into its own multimillion-dollar shadow economy throughout Appalachia and become a continuing trend in popular culture. To the artisans who make it, moonshining is a multi-generational tradition and a proud part of their cultural history.
While journaling the writer wanted the inner creative soul to experience a moment of reflection. To be open and honest about the effects of 2022. The writing hand clearly printed out: It's based on a feeling. Our memories are not the physical act of going through. How we act and react to our past is always based on a feeling. That doesn't mean it's a negative. Seeing it through a feeling can have an impact because so many of our memories are rewritten. This is the way you see it today versus the physical event. Even as a daily writer it took me years to realize that what's been written isn't transferring the same mindset first introduced. I can revisit any day for the past 28 years but I won't have the same emotional attachments. It's based on a feeling.
In 2021, the global games market generated over $180 billion in revenue-bigger than movies and music combined-and is projected to hit over $200 billion in 2022. Yet despite being a global economic juggernaut and having massive cultural impact, there hasn't been a definitive insider account about the industry. Until now. Enter legendary videogame designer Cliff "CliffyB" Bleszinski and his rollicking, colorful memoir Control Freak.A twenty-five-year veteran of the industry, Cliff shipped his first commercial title, Jazz Jackrabbit, before graduating high school. During his long tenure at Epic Games, he became design director and was a key visionary behind the bestselling franchises Unreal and Gears of War and lent his expertise to the global obsession Fortnite.As Cliff writes, "no one is weirder than a nerd with money." In Control Freak, we follow his life from the 80s as a shy, awkward acne-riddled teen bullied by classmates and coping with the sudden loss of his father to a flamboyant personality in the gamer world who flourishes and connects with his flock of fellow nerds. His career takes off with massive hits and catapults him to a life as a hot rod-driving celebrity rubbing shoulders with Bill Gates and appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.Control Freak pops the hood on the gaming industry and shines a light inside. Cliff shares what it's like to design a game: the late nights chugging Mountain Dew and shooting the sh*t with coworkers, the epiphanies so exhilarating he has to run into someone's office to say it out loud, the rapid-fire problem-solving when something goes wrong (and something always goes wrong), the strain those long hours and the pressure takes on individuals and relationships, the pitfalls of an industry riddled with sexism, cyberbullying, and a lack of representation among both designers and the characters they create, and yet the incredible highs of launching a new game on stage to an audience of thousands and watching it become a phenomenon.
