But I'm a sucker for aquariums. Always wanted an entire wall filled with jelly fish and sea horses as well as all those gorgeous fish, like at the Monterey Aquarium. But that man's smog shop was amazing. He really created a zen-like atmosphere there. From Zoom to Zen... see? I can't stop with the headlines. A sickness! Love you! xoxox C I agree, Donna!

So sorry it’s taken me this long to get back to you, but I really enjoyed your perspective, and I do agree quite whole heartedly. And yes, hip hop and rap just might be the new way to play on words. But there are other beautiful lyricists who have contributed and continue to contribute to some of our most wonderful ballads, rock and pop, country tunes and of course, Broadway musicals. So many of them are true writing works of art. Thanks so much again for your thoughts! Erica, can you believe I only just now found your commentary to my January blog on “Talking Sh*t”?

I have a client that has a HUGE wall-sized aquarium in their reception area and it "pulls" me in every time. I also think when it's someone else's aquarium and you have no lingering obligation to keep it clean, you enjoy it even more! - Donna Cara,

I do agree that the English language as we use it has gone downhill fast lately. I think that we have to accept that it is an evolution of our language which has never stayed the same and will continue to change. It has gotten more complex since the inception of speech, seemed to peak sometime around the 1500-1800's (debatable) then has continued into a simpler form. It is sad really that in this information age we have the ability to learn so much more and really expand our knowledge and vocabulary yet it seems like we are learning less. We are learning a little about a variety of things instead of a lot about one subject. Maybe this abbreviated style of knowledge is translating into the way we communicate. I do believe language as an art form is dying. I do not see the next Shakespeare any time in our future, or maybe that art form has evolved into music. Lately I have been amused by hip hop/rap artists. Their plays on words and thoughtful language structure are the closest thing I've seen to modern day Shakespeares. ...but I digress. :) The simple fact that…
