G'Day All --

I hope you'll find something you enjoy on one or more of the web pages that I have recently linked together.

Near the top of each page, in the center, you'll see a small image of one kind or another.

Just click on the image, and you'll be taken to the next page in the series.  If you continue clicking, you will soon arrive back at the page from which you started.

All the material on these pages is there for you -- and any of your friends who will use it constructively.

Try beginning at:  Kilroy's Fireside Library

http://www.angelfire.com/ca5/yourturf3/KilroysFiresideLibrary.htm

After you have explored the library, just click on the little (yellow-colored) picture of Kilroy, near the top of the page.

One small anomaly you will notice is that there are two versions of the page entitled:  "Kyosai's Haiku Works" -- one for Japan, and one for the USA.  Being a Yank, I began by making just one page that was more-or-less USA-oriented -- but then realized there should be another page to properly recognize the fact that the fascinating form of poetry known as haiku (as well as taiko drumming, which is also featured in the page's film clips) originated in Japan -- consequently, the additional page entitled "Kyosai's Japan Haiku Works."  Of course, folks every nationality are most welcome to visit and enjoy either of these two pages that you find of interest.  Except for the "header" and "footer" sections, both pages are identical in content.

Try surfing through the full series, and have fun !!  If you like what you find, please tell others.  If you don't -- or if you have questions, comments, or suggestions for improvement, please tell me !!

G'Day All --

Older folks may nostalgically remember a classic children's story entitled, "Paddle to the Sea."

I'm happy to say that the complete book -- including all of its colorful illustrations -- can now be accessed online.

*AND ALSO* the National Film Board of Canada has made an accompanying movie version of the story, that's available for you to see.

I have wasted no time in adding this material to the Free University's Best Online Classic Children's Books and Stories page, at:

http://www.angelfire.com/ca4/yourturf/TCAFUBeChiLit.htm

>>>  You will find it at the bottom of the second yellow panel on the page.

... as well as:

Kilroy's Fireside Library

and

Kilroy's Classic Film Festival

(Its in the "P" listings on these latter two sites.)

Hope you (as well as your children and/or your grand-children) will enjoy the story !!

G'Day All --

Item 1.  As you probably know, at The Civic Action Free University's on-line movie theater, "Kilroy's Classic Film Festival," we are gradually collecting a wide selection of movies -- from the entertaining to the serious.

Two very powerful films that focus on Resistance to Oppression are:

A.  "Gandhi," the outstanding movie covering Mahatma Gandhi's life, and his leadership of the revolution of non-violent direct action to achieve India's independence from British colonial rule.

B.  "Z," a fictional but breathtakingly realistic portrayal of efforts to overcome the repressive military dictatorship that had come to power in Greece during the late 1960s.

Both of these movies have recently been added to Kilroy's Film Festival -- you will find them in the "Newest Arrivals" section:

Kilroy's Classic Film Festival -- Newest Arrivals

Enjoy the movies !!  Obviously, if you don't care to watch them in short segments on a computer screen, it should not be too difficult to find DVDs so you can see full-length versions on your television screen instead.

New films are continually being added to the Kilroy's Film Fest page, so you are cordially invited to come back frequently and sample the latest arrivals.
