MIND
Ian Fleming 1908
Ian Fleming (1909-1964) was a mid-century English Man of Mystery. With a silk cravat around his neck, cigarette holder in one hand and gin-and-bitters in the other, Fleming was the image of a 1960s sophisticate. But as he strolled barefoot on his private beach at GoldenEye, in Oracabessa Bay, he dreamed up one of the most lasting characters in global literature and cinema. Today, Fleming Villa remains the inspiring setting for pleasure and imagination.

*Today is the day to start rearranging your house, (or at least your work area) to make it the setting for pleasure and imagination. You may not have a private beach but you can find ways to make the place where you live be more inspiring and entertaining. Maybe you’ll come up with the next James Bond.
BODY
Jim Thorpe 1887 – get your heart checked
https://www.cmgww.com/sports/thorpe/
Describing Jim Thorpe as a great athlete would be doing him a severe injustice. A better description would be calling him the greatest athlete of the 20th Century. This label will probably be debated by many, but Thorpe’s accomplishments speak louder than words. King Gustav V of Sweden told Thorpe: “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”
Thorpe died on March 28, 1953 of a heart attack.

MONEY
Jerry West 1938

But does the NBA pay Jerry West royalties for using his image and printing it on the mountains of merchandise they sell?
The short answer is “No.” That’s also the long answer, because the NBA won’t admit that it’s Jerry West on the logo.

YOU ALREADY ARE PERFECT
And because you are perfect, you shouldn’t think less of yourself. Throw away self-pity, don’t give time to self-hate, and most importantly, stay away from people who make you feel bad about yourself.

FOOD
Kylie Minogue 1968 – shrimp on the barbie
Kylie Minogue isn’t so busy touring that she can’t keep up with the Kardashians to some extent, though it hardly sounds like the Aussie pop star is a fan. After learning that Kylie Jenner—who’s only Kardashian-adjacent anyway—has been trying to trademark their shared first name for the last two years, Minogue petitioned the U.S. Patent and Trademarks Office not to forever link (or however long trademarks last) the name “Kylie” with lip injectors and a failed PacSun clothing line. Now, that lame joke is ours; Minogue filed her own scorching burn with her letter, in which she refers to herself as an “internationally-renowned performing artist, humanitarian and breast cancer activist known worldwide simply as ‘Kylie,’” while Jenner is merely a “secondary reality television personality.” We think Minogue can now add “reputation arsonist” to her list of skills.

*Listen to a mix of Gladys Knight, Colbie Caillat, and the one and only Kylie Minogue while making her Australian shrimp on the Barbie – even if they do call them prawns in the land down under.
Wash it down with a vodka martini – shaken, not stirred.
