Good morning, good afternoon, good evening wherever you are. From the New World to the Old World, from all the continents, welcome to my 1500th post … and this post is about celebrating the occasion!
For the entire weekend, please take the time to comment, state where you are from, say something about your blog, interact with my guests here and on my sidebar, listen to music, and enjoy the food and beverages. Entertainment will appear throughout the celebration, so comeback often … and bring a friend!
By the way, the theme for the next act of Life: The Musical will be Play – so I will give more information on the next Monday Morning Entertainment. After all, Play is good to follow Act 9’s Work.
Some Factoids about 1500
Only 14 players have ever played 1,500 games in the National Hockey League (NHL)
We could discuss the year 1500 AD, but other than the year starting on a Wednesday, I don’t think many of my readers would be interested in the Second Battle of Lepanto
On the other hand, the Polynesians settled Fiji in 1500 BC … and many of my readers would love to take an all-expense paid trip to Fiji
Many radio stations occupy 1500 on the AM dial
1500 meters is a common event in Olympic swimming, speed skating, running, and walking
1500 Ocean is a restaurant at the wonderful Hotel del Coronado in San Diego, CA
Some say fifteen hundred, but other say one thousand five hundred
1500 equivalent to 15 centuries, but all but one of the 1500s was in the 16th century
1500 is a grand and a half but 1500 dollars, 1500 Euros, 1500 Pesos, 1500 Pounds, 1500 Krona, 1500 Rubles, 1500 Yen, and 1500 Turkish Lira are not equal … but they are exchangeable into another currencies.
1500 Broadway is at Times Square in New York City
Besides being an Australian film, 1500 Steps refers to the number of ice steps on the Chilkoot Pass (Alaska) and the number of steps on a portion of the Inca Trail leading to Machu Picchu
On a 24-hour time system, 1500 is 3:00 PM

Aloha. Dreaming of a better climate right now. It’s cold here in the Midwest (Iowa). went from the 70s/80s to mid to lower 40s over night. supposed to freeze tonight. (I hope not) anyhoo, my blog is mostly fiction with a little fact sprinkled in for good measure. book reviews, music reviews, music reviews, and a lone film review; articles, narration on life, and-oh yes- stories. Philosophy, belief, contrasts, etc. all rolled up into a nice little package. Come join the fun.

I’m enjoying the Moody Blues as I sip my morning tea. Just got back from a walk to check out the high tide which is currently flooding the woods (we have coastal flooding going on here this morning). I waded through for a bit, but it was too high for my boots. I might borrow M’s hip boots later and try again. No worries about the house. We’re above flood level. That means I can go out and enjoy it when we get super high tides combined with enough wind to bring the water to shore. What always surprises me is the number of fish (and sometimes crabs) swimming around on the Woodland Path when the water comes in that high.
Have a great celebration, Frank! I’ll try to stop by again later in the weekend. We’re headed to the beach for a bit and then to a cèilidh at a Celtic Festival. Should be a full day.

Congratulations, 1500 is a very log of blogs.
Did you know there were cannibals in Fiji up until quite recently? It’s a nice place to visit now, in the past not so much. Early missionaries were likely to be welcome for dinner with the natives – as the main course.

If only I could dance that well. They had dance lessons on the MSC Divina, which I tried once. I had better luck taking photos of other people then I did of actually learning any steps, but perhaps the lack of getting the steps was due to paying too much attention to the camera. At least that’s my excuse.
