Work and Play and Boomerang!

"All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"
 
Boomerang from Instagram. This is an app that "makes everyday moments fun and unexpected.  Create captivating mini videos that loop back and forth, then share them with your..."  We're working on the Fantasy of Trees and one of the Museum staff  just found this app, something that might get attention to the upcoming event - our little version is HERE.

This 'all work and no play' phrase is centuries old, so there are a number of quotes that reference it. I've included the ones that are thought-provoking and come from interesting and notable people.  

All work and no play makes Jack a dully boy - and Jill a wealthy widow.
~Evan Esar, 1899 - 1995, American humorist, author of 20,000 Quips & Quotes

All work and no play makes jack.  With enough jack, Jack needn't be a dull boy.
~Malcom Forbes, publisher of Forbes magazine

As if a man's soul were not too small to begin with, they have dwarfed and narrowed theirs by a life of all work and no play:  until here they are at forty, with a listless attention, a mind vacant of all material of amusement, and not one thought to rub again another, while they wait for the train. 
~Robert Louis Stevenson, 1850 - 1894, British novelist, poet, essayist, musician and travel writer of Treasure Island

You may try your experiment for a week and see how you like it.  I think by Saturday night you will find that all play and no work is as bad as all work and no play
~Louisa May Alcott, American novelist and poet, Little Women (1868)

All work and no play may make Jim a dull boy, but no work and all play makes Jim all kinds of a jackass.
~William Randolph Hearst, American newspaper publisher, partial inspiration for the movie Citizen Kane

We have two pictures today of play and then of work.
