In My Travels

March 15, 2023 by Education Leave a Comment

“In My Travels” I write many of these things because, for such a very long time now, I find myself unhappy with the many of my brethren who honestly don’t give a damn about history being a continual restoration of vigorously being repeated over and over again… “Oh, yeah…who put you in charge?” complained a […]

Amongst Some Special Men

December 21, 2022 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

“Amongst Some Special Men”         Our faces were young and mostly free from hair. We were a team of man-kids who happened to have the skills which grown men would probably not ever reach as adults. We were a high school varsity baseball team who was about to establish a national record of forty-three […]

Life is a Puzzlement

Friends Bearing Gifts

August 26, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

When a pleasant surprise is just what it purports to be, it is then that we have both pleasantness and the unexpected of the two joining forces: AKA “Spirituality” TODAY (in particular) Very early in my morning; The economy and the heat of the day, neither of which came as a pleasant surprise, bore nothing […]

“I Wrote A Blog”

July 19, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 3 Comments

“I Wrote A Blog” Entitled: “From the Heart”; Taking a stand for what you believe and what it means to the actors of Los Angeles and all over the country; perhaps the world. *** Straight from the shoulder was a way of communication taught to me at such an early age, I doubt if I […]

I’ve Been a Cheerleader My Entire Life

June 3, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

My God…I’ve been a cheerleader my entire life. That statement isn’t an attempt or a continuance of a hopeless endeavor at me gaining praise. I just do what I do because I do it. But there are times; as a matter of fact there have been a few times when I find myself asking “What […]

1859 As A Philosophical Abstraction, Or Maybe Not.

May 19, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 1 Comment

A Tale of Two Cities (1859) is a novel by Charles Dickens. Excerpt: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, […]

(A Primer On) Compiling “Ten Thousand Hours Of Experience”

May 6, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

Theater Shows Film Just prior to this monumental period of my life, I had merely dabbled in the world of show biz. My ex-wife’s opinion of what I was doing represented far more than dabbling. A couple of years before, she had asked me pointedly if I didn’t think I was getting a little too […]

It Comes with the Territory

April 29, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson Leave a Comment

“Lead, follow, or get out of the way.”– Thomas Paine, 1776 “It comes with the territory.” We’ve all heard the phrase many times from people – some good, some bad. In any event, when a person delivers the line, “It comes with the territory,” they usually do so with the intent of showing acceptance of […]

Snowbound

April 1, 2011 by Harvey Kalmenson 2 Comments

It was six in the early morning of what was my usual work weekday. When a full screen appeared along with a voice talking about New York’s worst snowstorm since the nineteen twenties, it caught my attention. Just like in Los Angeles when we have a heavy rain, voices of doom seemed to broadcast from […]
