Feeling Good

Exactly two years ago ‘Your Inner Rhino.com’ had it first posting. Since that time We have posted 713 posts, in those 731 days (Leap Year).

Boasting is not our style, but We do feel smuggish, in a humble and (hopefully) endearing way.

Thanks to all of you who have made this project so fulfilling.

Warbling, and why not?

Today is Jenny Lind’’s birthday, back in 1820. She was famously called “The Swedish Nightingale”. She was Swedish.

Vocal Fireworking is common among Rhinos. We are perpetually astounded at the range of noises and echoes and tonalities We can produce, when in the mood. We concertize spontaneously, it can’t be and needn’t be helped.

We carry flowers in case We get hungry mid-Aria.

Unacceptable Behavior

Richard III is a History Play, theoretically detailing his getting the crown.  The play presents Richard as cunningly diabolical and also bad. Next-to-nobody survives, mostly thanks to his schemings.

(His real birthday is today, but in 1452, FYI.)

Scene One takes place in Richard’s Winter, about which he is discontented. He tells Us so. Also, there is a shortage of horses at the end of the play.

Where Wisdom comes from…

Happy birthday to Confucius, who was born in 551 BC, which was a while ago. He was a philosopher, which proves his Inner Rhino was on the job, sorting out the Mysteries of Life. He was interested in getting things organized.

We salute him, despite Rhino disinterest in regimentation and governance.

And no, as far as We know, Confucius didn’t invent chopsticks.

Tardy, but heartfelt…

Yesterday was Winsor McCay’s birthday, in 1869. A great illustrator with a sparkling gift for narrative- all in all, his work is a non-stop pleasure… at least, that’s the Rhino Viewpoint.

“Little Nemo in Slumberland” has his hero dashing about in a dream landscape. All of it is lovely and engaging and inspiring.

Like Nemo, Rhinos can make these mental jaunts without going to bed, but then, We don’t have beds.
