Back in the day, one had pop quizzes in high school. And now, according to the Internet they’re still considered a useful teaching tool.
True to form, a teacher strides into a room and says, “It’s a pop quiz day.” This is met with loud groans and gnashing of teeth because if one hasn’t completed the assigned reading – it’s thumbs down.
Here’s a quickie digital pop quiz -- but not to worry – the answers are here, too. (Be a sport and don’t peek first.)

Totally outta my league. I couldn’t answer any of them.

I just read an article that sounded – to me at least – like “a canary in a coal mine” or an early warning of danger. This piece, written by Joe Pompeo, appeared in the May 2020 issue of Vanity Fair magazine with the title “The British Tabloid Invasion” and a subtitle that read, “How the Daily Mail is conquering American gossip.”

Apparently the good old U.S. is a nation of “not great” sleepers. Really? And I thought I was the only one! According to a recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention it was revealed that one out of three Americans are chronically sleep-deprived. Yikes!
I think we’re all taken by the incredible mystique of the famous French fashion house, Hermès that has been with us for two centuries and is still owned and operated by the same family. From its beginnings in fine equestrian leather goods, they are – in the tumultuous year 2020 – best known for their handbags and many other items.
My image of Hermès has always been rarified products at equally rarified prices so imagine my surprise when I recently received a very stylish publication of theirs in the mail.
