Palindrome

I got this in a recent email:

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward. This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward. Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite..

This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant. Make sure you read as well as listen to the entire video...


This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old. The contest was titled "u @ 50" . When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant.


Take a minute and watch it.

A Minute With: Vanessa Redgrave and "Letters to Juliet" - L really wants to see this movie. I remember (as a child) seeing Vanessa Redgrave and Franco Nero in 'Camelot' (1967) and didn't realize there is a Hollywood story here. She had just divorced her husband and father of her 2 daughters (one of them was Natasha Richardson) as he had met a French actress. She then had an affair with Franco Nero and had a son. Then she had a long term relationship with Timothy Dalton. She married Franco Nero 4 years ago at age 73 and 69. Very romantic, and now they are in this movie together.

Christine, that video was very cleverly done....so uplifting and inspiring.

I'm going to take my mother to see "Letters to Juliet" next week and I am sure we will both enjoy it. I visited that area back in 2004 so it will bring lots of wonderful memories for me.

You are an amazing source of information my friend!

Hugs

Very, very good video Christine. thanks for posting this.

Franco Nero is such a handsome man, still today. Sad time for the Redgraves over the past year or so hasnt it? I think the move sounds wonderful too and hope to go see it as well. I love all your bits n pieces Christine!!
