Del and Bobby on Poydras Street, New Orleans for White Linen Night Art Openings, Copyright 2001 by Bobby Matherne


Out Our Way:

Taught my grandson Gabe to play marbles on the bare ground under our live oak tree, just as I played marbles in the Westwego Elementary schoolyard during recess. He's seven, and yet I had to teach him to shoot the marble using his thumb flipping against his index finger instead of pushing it with his thumb.

Wood Sculpture of Louisiana Cypress by Bobby, c. 1969, Photo by & Copyright 2001 by Bobby Matherne

Del and I walked down Julia Street for White Linen Night - the traditional August Art Gallery Opening celebration and block party at dusk in downtown New Orleanians. We were invited up to Matt's condo for some jambalaya, brownies, Jack Daniel's ice cream, and a chance to say hi to some old friends.

My review of "Necessity and Freedom" took me a long time - I wanted to cover all the metaphors that Steiner utilized in discussing how to sort the things we do out of necessity from those things we do in freedom. I posted it and received this curt reply from Frank Thomas Smith: "Is this needed?" This seems to be a gratuitous slam of my review, but I slept on the matter and the next morning I realized it was a subtle hint at one of the subjects of the review: necessity. So I wrote back something like: "Well, not as much as the Pillsbury Doughboy was kneaded, but some. As a deed of the past it lies in the realm of necessity, but the decision to read or not it lies in the realm of freedom. That's clearly within the purview of the review." He took the freedom to read it, wrote me back saying it had "lotsa deep stuff" and asked permission to publish it in his Argentina-based Southern Cross Review. You can find it there later this month at: http://www.southerncrossreview.org/ Thanks, Frank. [2007 Note: you will have to search the archives of SC Review or simply Click Here to read Necessity and Freedom review.]

An extended conversation via email with Kevin Dann led me to check a previously read book on Thoreau, "Man of Concord" and I found a host of wonderful quotes to add to my quotes page on-line. Here's one that struck me as most poignant: "In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood." I also added a poem "David Henry" about Thoreau with tidbits gleaned from the book. I wrote this over twenty years ago and have posted it below the list of Thoreau quotes.

For your convenience, you can go directly to the Thoreau quotes by a single click at right:

We hosted an Anam Cara weekend at Timberlane and had a wonderful time meeting with our close friends again, this time for a whole weekend. A webpage is available for you to see photos of the smiling anam caras. I would also like to share the Anam Cara Blessings with each of my Good Readers. (Blessings are by John O'Donohue and can be found among other great things in his book, Anam Cara.):

http://www.doyletics.com/tidbits/anamcara.htm

Things began to heat up on the Owen Barfield list and I found myself writing about Christianity and Reincarnation, among other things. I contacted an old friend and co-worker from my real-time computing days at Union Carbide, Wyman Tidwell, and he recommended the book "Gift of the Jews" to me, and its review is available for you to read at:

http://www.doyletics.com/arj/tgotjrvw.htm

Wyman mentioned to me that our co-worker Fred Gude had died, and I pass that on to others that may have known Fred. He was a hard worker, a great sketch artist, and a good friend. But for his recommendations I might have missed "Atlas Shrugged" and "The Hobbit" at a key point in my life. We will all miss Fred.

Oh, can't resist sharing with you that the Doyletics Website was chosen as Loon of the Month. Seems the Skeptical Inquirer folks (the ratbags.com ones) are too busy making fun of people to actually read and understand what they're spoofing, but hey! they got the link address correct and spelled our name right! As for me, I'm busy working on perfecting the mating call of the loon now. It’s good to be in the same category as Ignatz Semmelweis, Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Nicola Tesla, among other loons in their time. Check us out in the March 2001 Quintessence of the Loon Website at:

http://www.ratbags.com/loon/mar01/index.html

This seems to be an appropriate time to mention that the idea for forming the Doyletics Foundation came to me this month. It will provide the resources to carry on the work of furthering the science of doyletics long into the future. For now, it will exist in name and funded privately by Doyle and myself, but with the addition of other funding, it can exist far into the future, supporting the website at: http://www.doyletics.com and providing scholarships and fellowships for people working in basic research in the science of doyletics.

Attended a breakfast with my guest, Colonel Jim Webb, head of the Air Force ROTC at Destrehan High School. The breakfast consisted of the classical New Orleans uptown breakfast of grillades and grits; it will stoke one up for a full day of doing what needs to be done on a steamy New Orleans day.

The next day we left for Seattle to visit our son Robbie and his wife Jami and their two miniature offspring ecosystems: Sierra and Walden. Nice to know that our grandchildren will grow up to be high mountains and quiet ponds. Walden at three hasn't got the quiet part down pat yet, but Sierra is getting big and beautiful at the tender age of five. We drove up to Whistler, British Columbia, about an hour or two north of Vancouver. Del and I took a day trip to Vancouver Islands and beautiful Butchart Gardens. We walked up and down hills for two hours in the midst of flowers so beautifully arrayed that we were still fresh when we came to the end of the gardens. Here's a photo I took of one flower, and I hope you will agree it's worth the download time to view it.

When we returned to New Orleans at the end of the month of August, we were ready to enjoy the last few warm days of summer and get ready for fall. See y'all next month.

EASE OF VIEWING NOTES:

FONT SIZE for REVIEWS:
The font size of new reviews has been increased to make reading easier. In IE78, you may wish to use 90% ZOOM if the text seems a bit large. (Older reviews will be upgraded as time permits.)

If you have been enjoying the photos in this Digest, but have wondered who or what you were looking at, in Internet Explorer simply let your cursor fall stationary over the photo and the photo's description will appear. If your Mozilla Firefox or Netscape 7 browser doesn't provide this handy automatic display, you will need to Right Click on the image and Select the Properties box to view the description. We spend a lot of time providing these descriptions and hope you will read them.

For Firefox browsers here is a simple procedure for viewing the Digest which will let you view descriptions by simply placing cursor over the photo. Note: If you did not choose the Open Link in IE Tab option when you installed Firefox, you will need to install the add-in now.

Open the Digest email while in Firefox.
Right click the link to the Digest.
From the drop down menu choose Open Link in IE Tab.

Firefox will open the newsletter in an IE tab and the photo captions will appear when you let your cursor rest on the photo. This allows you to have a feature of IE while using Firefox.

MAC users will be able to view captions if they use Firefox, but not if they use Safari. This is according a Good Reader who values the captions.

EASE OF READING NOTES:

We strive to make the Digest issues viewable in all browsers and window sizes. With the advent of Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), the ZOOM function has been repaired to keep text on screen as you ZOOM to larger sizes. That's good news as my ARJ1 Reviews were never upgraded to fix this problem and now that is not necessary. If you put things off long enough, you don't have to do them, my German professor told me. If some of the photos overlap in your browser try setting your text to a larger size. We use "Larger" setting in IE6 browser, and note that smaller sizes of text in some window sizes cause photos and text to overlap. In IE7/8, you can use CTRL+ to increase font size and CTRL- to decrease it using ZOOM function. If you use IE7's ZOOM function and have problems viewing a page, return temporarily to 100% and problem will disappear. Many of the alignment problems for ZOOM'ed pages have been fixed in IE8.

4. CAJUN STORY:
== == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == == ==

[This story came to me via Diane in Vermont via Becca who told it to her. Diane said that it might work as a Boudreaux and Broussard Cajun story. Now we don't got no ice fishing in Louisiana, mon petites, so the B&B boys had to hightail it up to Vermont for this story to take place.]

Mountains with snow above Shannon Falls near Whistler, B. C., Canada, Photo by & Copyright 2001 by Bobby Matherne

Boudreaux and Broussard loved to fish and spent every day they weren't working fishing. They fished green trout, perch, sac-au-lait, speckled trout, redfish, flounder, sheepshead, drum, and just about anything that swims. They liked fresh water fishing, brackish water fishing, and saltwater fishing. They liked fishing in the fall, in the summer, in the spring, and in the winter. They fished in bayous, lakes, oilfield canals, and offshore near oil rigs. They fished with fly rods, spin casting, rod and reels, and cane poles. They fished from the banks, out of pirogues, out of Lafitte skiffs, out of 250 hp bass boats, off of oil production platforms, off of levees, in the surf, and from fishing camp docks. They liked still fishing, bottom fishing, trolling, and gigging flounders in the surf. They like early morning fishing, midday fishing, dusk fishing and night fishing. I guess you could say that they liked and had tried every kind of fishing there was, and they were not bashful about letting people know that. One day they were talking about their fishing prowess to a Yankee, not just any Yankee, but one from Vermont!

"Ah-yup," he drawled, "betchya never did any ice-fishing! Best ice fishing in the world in Vermont, don't you know." Vermonters are known for maple syrup, not starting sentences with a subject, and ice-fishing. Boudreaux and Broussard were hooked - they had to go ice -fishing.

They flew up to Vermont and stayed in a small town. They went to the nearby country store and asked for supplies and instructions to go ice fishing. The proprietor sold them poles, bait, and an ice auger for drilling a large hole in the ice.

Bobby and Del picnicking by Shannon Falls, Photo by SONY & Copyright 2001 by Bobby Matherne

"Just drill a hole in the ice, and there will be fish under the ice," he told them.

"Can you tell us where to go ice fishing?" Boudreaux asked him.

"Ice fishing shack down the road apiece. Head out this way. Drive past three covered bridges and it'll be on the right. Make sure there's ice on the floor and you got the right place."

Boudreaux loaded their new fishing gear in their car and set the alarm to get up at 6 AM which is dawn in Louisiana, but still very dark in Vermont in the winter. There was ice and snow everywhere as they drove through this winter wonderland. "Look," Broussard shouted, "dere's a barn with a road through de middle of it. Let's stop and see dat."

"Mah, it looks jest like T-Coon's barn in Montegut, Sha. But how come dey don't store no hay in the rafters?"

"Mais, I don't know, me, let's go on. Read dem instructions again."

"Go past t'ree covered bridges."

"Okay, let's look for dem."

Soon they found another covered bridge and this time they saw the stream running under it, "Look, dere's one." And so it went - till they found two more bridges, which didn't take long because Vermont has more covered bridges per unit area than any other state.

"Okay, dat's t'ree covered bridges, and that must be the ice fishing house." It was still dark outside as they walked up to the building, opened the door, and made sure there was ice all over the floor. Broussard held the ice auger as Boudreaux began drilling.

Sierra, Robbie, and Walden in Richmond, Washington, Photo by & Copyright 2001 by Bobby Matherne

From high overhead, with booming resonance they heard a low voice that said, "THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE."

Boudreaux jumped and stopped his drilling. "Bon Dieu, what was that? The two Cajuns looked at each other silently and waited a few minutes and when they heard nothing more they began drilling again. Once more they heard the booming voice, loud and echoing around them. "STOP. PLEASE LEAVE. THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE."

Quaking with fright Boudreaux fell to the ice, cowering, and said,

"Bon Dieu, Broussard. You t'ink that's God talking to us?"

Broussard yelled, "God! Is that you?? Are you talking to us!?"

The voice came back and said,

"THIS IS THE RINK MANAGER."

ANNOUNCEMENT:
Inaugural World-Wide Doyletics Conference, Oct 5-9, in New Orleans

~~^~ All Peace Begins with Inner Peace ~^~~

Exciting news for those of you who have been wanting to meet Doyle Henderson, the innovator whose life's work has led to the science of doyletics: he will be in New Orleans, Louisiana for the Inaugural World-Wide Doyletics Conference this Fall, Oct. 5 - 9. To register for the conference or get more details, click at right to send pre-filled email: WWD@doyletics.com . As of this date we have about 20 registrants from four countries.

I awoke the other morning with these words resonating in me, "All peace begins with inner peace." It occurred to me later that world peace can only be built one individual at a time. And individual peace must begin with inner peace. And inner peace can be created by removing troubling doyles, one at a time, during a speed trace. When that message gets out to the world, as I like to say, "Fear, Anger, and Anxiety will be endangered species." And World Peace will become an attainable goal, one person at a time.

"All Peace Begins with Inner Peace." will be the theme for the Inaugural World-Wide Doyletics Conference in New Orleans this fall.

Sign adapted from Matherne's Supermarkets, owned by brothers of Beverly Matherne, Photo by  and Copyright 2006 by Bobby Matherne

And for my Good Readers, here’s the new reviews and articles for this month. The ARJ2 ones are new additions to the top of A Reader’s Journal, Volume 2, Chronological List, and the ART ones to A Reader’s Treasury.

1.) ARJ2: Necessity and Freedom by Rudolf Steiner

Book Cover

This was a very difficult review for me to write. My friend, Frank Thomas Smith from Argentina, where they take siestas seriously, wrote about the review: "I decided to take the free decision 'to read or not it' - and found it to be very interesting, proof of which is that although it's long, I read it all without falling asleep although it's near siesta time. Your comparison of the Sufi saying with the old, old song 'If I had the wings of an angel, over these prison walls I would fly' cracked me up. It's a good review, Bobby, lotsa deep stuff." If you're in for "lotsa deep stuff" read on.

Read the Review at:
http://www.doyletics.com/arj/nafrvw .htm




2.) ARJ2: Gifts of the Jews by Thomas Cahill

Book Cover

In this very readable history of the ancient Hebrew people from Abraham to Joshua, Cahill fleshs out for us what he promises in the subtitle, "how a tribe of desert nomads changed the way everyone thinks and feels."

The subject is the evolution of consciousness and the playing field for the discussion is a very familiar one, the old testament of the Bible. The people he talks about are familiar but how our consciousness changed and evolved in so many ways as a result of those primitive nomads will surprise and delight many of you.

For a summary of the gifts, and even more, read the review at:
http://www.doyletics.com/arj/tgotjrvw.htm




3.) ARJ2: The Cry and the Covenant by Morton Thompson

Book Cover

This book is not for the squeamish or weak of heart. It details the life of the medical pioneer and innovator who was responsible for saving millions of women's lives by his discovery of the etiology of puerperal fever. If you're not intimately familiar with this formerly dreaded disease, thank Ignatz Semmelweis, because it is due to him that you're not familiar with it, as it's almost unknown today outside of medical circles. Also known as childbed fever, it killed many women within days after they had experienced otherwise normal deliveries of their babies. The medical doctors of the mid-nineteenth century had many and various explanations of what caused it: mother's milk infection, modesty, epidemic peritonitis, or some vague miasma that settled over maternity wards.

Dr. Semmelweis studied the disease, devoted his life to it, and wiped it out from the minds of humankind. This book is a memorial to his life and innovative work, and also it is a reminder of the traps and snares that await every innovator today, laid by the stalwart forces of medical tradition. This book would make a great screenplay, and I can see Mel Gibson producing, directing, playing the monomanical Doctor Ignatz Semmelweis as he assiduously battles his hospital bosses to save the lives of the bloated screaming women dying in the Vienna Lying In Hospital with the simple expediency of washing his hands.

To enter the dissecting and delivery rooms with Dr. Semmelweis, read the review:

I hear often from my Good Readers that they have bought books after reading my book reviews. Keep reading, folks! As I like to remind you, to obtain more information on what's in these books, buy and read the books — for less information, read the reviews.

Thanks to all of you for providing the chemistry which has made this site a success. — Especially those of you who have graciously allowed us to show your photos on this website — you're looking good!

In 2009, its eighth year of existence, the doyletics website has topped the SIX MILLION VISITORS MARK ! ! !

Our hits are averaging about ten times the number of unique visitors. A unique visitor is defined by our collection agent, Urchin, as a visitor who reads at least one page, leaves the website, and doesn't return for at least 20 minutes. So multiple page reads by the same person are not counted as new visitors. This is a conservative way of counting visitors.

As of August 1, 2010 we will have received over 6.8 MILLION VISITORS to the Doyletics Website since its inception in August 1, 2001, NINE YEARS AGO. Over one Million in the past 12 months. We are currently averaging about 100,000 visitors a month [Over 1.2 Million a year] and increasing each year. We especially want to thank you, our Good Readers, for helping our readership to grow. Continue to email your friends about the reviews, the doyletics speed trace, the cartoons, the jokes, the recipes, the photos in all the Digests on our website. Urge them to subscribe to the Digest Reminder so they won't miss a single issue! There is never a charge for viewing any page on our website, nor for any of the guidance we offer to people asking for help with doing a doyletics memory trace.

The cost of keeping this website on-line with its 20+ Gbytes of bandwidth a month is going up and the advertising revenue has begun to keep up with the cost, Thank God. And thank you, our Good Readers, for continuing to patronize our advertisers when they provide products and services you are seeking as you visit any of our web pages. Remember the ads are dynamically displayed and every time you read even the same page a second time, you may find new products and services displayed for your review. Our reviews, digests, tidbits, etc, all our webpages act as Google magnets to bring folks to the website to learn about doyletics and frequent our advertisers, so they support one another in effect.

We welcome your contributions to the support of the website and research into the science of doyletics. For our street address, email Bobby at the address found on this page: http://www.doyletics.com/bobby.htm. Every $25 contribution helps keep this website on-line for another month.

We wish to thank all Good Readers who have made a contribution to the doyletics.com website!

My reviews are not intended to replace the purchasing and reading of the reviewed books, but rather to supplant a previous reading or to spur a new reading of your own copy. What I endeavor to do in most of my reviews is to impart a sufficient amount of information to get the reader comfortable with the book so that they will want to read it for themselves. My Rudolf Steiner reviews are more detailed and my intention is bring his work to a new century of readers by converting his amazing insights into modern language and concepts.

As of June 9, 2009 we have begun using a Topica.com e-mail list.

Our subscriber list is maintained by Topica.com and includes only those who have subscribed with Topica.com and no one else. If your email changes and the old one becomes inoperative, Topica will notify us and the old address will be removed. You need do nothing but re-subscribe with the new email address.

Nothing bugs us more than to lose otherwise healthy and ready-to-read Good Readers from the List.
