Thank you. My brother, who was a newspaper journalist also born in U.S. lived in Cuba and had befriended Mr. Hemingway. My brother also rests in peace, killed while being robbed in Miami Beach. I guess they had the journalism in common and belonged to the writer's guild. My brother wrote for an English newspaper in Cuba, the Havana Herald. My brother had a lot of respect and admiration for Mr. Hemingway as does the rest of the world. Thank you for keeping his memory alive.
There is something so marvelous about the often unobserved ordinary. Thanks for this.
Well done! Would’ve loved to see farmers market
so glad you enjoyed it! ❤ You can see a picture of me in the farmers market here: www.nextavenue.org/the-15-minute-city-saving-my-life/
Sam you're awesome I think in Janice's case it' was all timing as far as heroin goes anybody that uses heroin is taking a big chance
This is tantalizing, Steve! I look forward to your finished product. Thanks for doing this for us.
I want to watch FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS (1943) next. It's a Spanish Civil War classic movie starring Gary Cooper and the great Ingrid Bergman .
A fine movie! 😎

This is just delightful!! Can't wait to hear more. Job well done Steve Mencher!
Hoo-rah Steve! Charmant!
Thanks so much my friend. Couldn't have done it without you. Please share with your friends and fans!
That's remarkable.
i don't think you found hem's house in key largo...he lived in key west with 50+ cats...! you should visit this one...!
Another watering hole was La Bodeguita del Medio I always heard he drank ‘mojitos’ anyway in both cases basically a lemonade with mint leaves and rum although in the daiquiri mint leaves are used for garnish where in the mojito you grind the mint leaves with the sugar.
so we can see the rooms where ernest slapped the shit out of his wife? Actually, he never had a wife that was great, so who cares
His 1st and 4th wives were great.
Thank you for your wise words. Be kind to myself resonated soundly!
the quijote & the old man and the sea are the 2 books that got my habit of reading. simply amazing

Geez, in just 4 minutes he imparted so much wisdom and and good advice. Thank you for posting this. Very helpful!
This is so fascinating to me. This was the first Shakespeare play I ever saw live, back when I was in high school. I’m now grown up and a professional Shakespeare actor and began my first rehearsals double cast as Regan/Edgar (funky doubling I know haha) yesterday. The first scene being in the men’s room at the event hall stuck with me. That and the body bag ballet.
so glad this was meaningful to you. please share with your friends - and good luck in your career. We need more Shakespearean actors!
Bill is very calculated and i just wanna know why he wanted it so bad
On one hand, it was a great demo of how Microsoft tools could help us see and understand the mind of Leonardo. On the other hand, I think he was really into the brilliance and creativity of Leonardo for its own sake. Finally, I think his whole project was meant to set him up as a peer of Leonardo - he was confronting the world and using his scientific and creative mind to see the world in a unique way - like his hero Leonardo.
@Steve Mencher that's surface level stuff. If you hang your head on the question, you arrive at many things along those lines. I only commented because it's not like i could ever ask him and get a real answer. So i fed it to the void. Thanks for the reply tho 🫡
@@r_starchild2157 thanks - there was literally a PR person onsite at the museum asking kids who visited "Who's smarter - Leonardo or Bill?" That's one of my memories of filming in Seattle. Please pass the video on to friends, and thanks for engaging.
They need to drop the narrative and just show the house & treasures. "Hemingway was a notorious womanizer" - total BS. There is no evidence Hemingway engaged in casual sex. His affairs were always with his future wives (4).... except for Jane Mason. A notorious womanizer? hardly.
So the US was responsible for his suicide? Restricted from returning to his only home. Was he denied return to Cuba after being pressured by US embassy to leave Cuba? 🤔
I live in small rural area where no one is interested in art, it's hard not having any artist connections
thanks for writing Mary - I think you can use Steve's methods and his inspiration wherever you are - but I understand how hard it must be not to share your work with people in your community. There must be some art classes you can find that are online and that would connect you with others. Good luck.
Great man...lived life on his terms...loved to live well!...great man...will not be forgotton...RIP.
A real man...😎
Martin Kemp always makes things up.
He's an impressive scholar - at least to me. But he was shown in an unfair light, IMHO in the recent documentary on the "lost" da Vinci. Enjoyed the time I spent with him and learned a lot. Do you have a beef with him?
Hemingway, king and Chriestie's houses are for readers real museums
Im sorry you're gone now Sam but glad you lived as long as you did
Cub-er? Did you say CUB-ER? Where the hell did the “R” come from?
Hitch's brother still pronounces it "CUB-ER"; It's the way many Brits pronounce certain words that end in "A" (pronounced as "UH" by yanks.) Many say "CALIFORN-ER" as well.
@@siggifreud812 - If a black man says “Axe a quechion”, instead of “Ask a question”…everyone in the room roll their eyes? Why do we then allow Brits to slaughter the English language?
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 cuz they invented it.
@@siggifreud812 - Um…the Germans and French have more to do with the English vocabulary than the British. Grammar is a different story.
@@christopherp.hitchens3902 if you want to take it that far back, may be. fact is: The Brits brought it to the "new world", and American English is an off-shoot of that. Also, we are not talking about vocab. - we are talking about speech intonation, I think.
I love the way he had all his bottles of booze stashed beside the livingroom chairs..Just in case! You always need to be handy..
He was a womanizer and an animal hater. Why kill living things unless you are hungry?
Certainly had issues in his relationships with women. I don't think he hated animals, even though he shot them. It's always hard to apply today's standards to historical figures, but of course, you have a point.
hunters are not necessarily animal haters. also, he was not a "notorious" womanizer. that is BS.
I made a trip from Paris to Pamplona exactly as depicted in his novel The Sun Also Rises. I visited all the bars he mentioned in the novel. I ran with the bulls twice on July 10 and 12, 2011. Then I followed the trail of Road 1 all the way to Key Largo in Florida where he lived. I now live in Idaho, ten miles away from Ketchum, Hemingway's resting place. I read most his works and I taught, being an English professor, several of his works as well.
Just avoid shotguns!
Thank you for sharing your story.
The problem with trying to explore Hemingway's stomping grounds is that they do not even closely resemble what they were 100 years ago. Paris in the early 20s, Key West in the 30s, Cuba in the 40s & 50s. Even Hemingway himself said: "you can never go back". What lives eternally is: the art !!

Can I do cocaine with the statue?
I read The Sun also Rises lying down. Its submerged message, rising slowly to the surface through his lucid prose, the sun on the streets in mid day, the "screwed up" world of Jacob Barnes and company, the dark shadows of the trees, the bulls and the aimless.
Visited this home in 2017 on a bicycling tour of Cuba (Via, "Cuba Unbound.") Very charming, fascinating, and enlightening. Highly recommended. I also had Hemingway as my Senior Seminar, at UC Santa Barbara in 1974. My class report focussed on Hemingway's poetic meter (a passage in, For Whom the Bell Tolls) that enhanced the description of events & the emotional impact of his prose. Hemingway, a great literary master, though weighted-down with many emotional challenges & character flaws. Glad I got to take a deeper look. --Cheers😋
What poetic meter? I thought Hemingway always wrote like a journalist, straight to-the-point prose.
his 18 ingredient hamburger is something....google it
I have had it-- yummy!
Orson Wells - maahaa Hemingway!
Fascinating Documentary
Martha Gellhorn divorced him and not the other way around like the narrator has said.
correct. But, he was already pursuing Mary in the summer of 44'; they were only married on paper.
Yeah, but she picked him up in Sloppy Joe's ...
PBS did a great job with this documentary!
when i was a teenager I ate mangos from that home in the early 1970
Must've been an experience, to say the least.
Hemingway’s life was unique. I cannot think of anyone else who had as many adventures and was involved in so many important events of the 20th century. He lived life on his terms and then wrote amazing stories about it. A true legend.
Ernst Jünger.
Remembering Hemingway, Jack Keighley writes: “When I first met Hemingway, he impressed me as a narrow-minded guy, and more than once made the same impression later.”
Honestly, Cuba isn't worth the cost and effort to get there. Anything of interest is regulated by the government and the population is under surveillance with little to say to strangers. A government agent took my passport on landing at the airport, so that a visitor is "persona non grata" while in the country. The food and hotel were strictly third rate.
Hemingway had been spending time in Cuba for many years before 1939, and he and Ms. Gelhorn were living there in sin while Earnest was stilled married to Pauline. The divorce wasn’t final until 1940, fwiw.
"Papa" or "Ernie" or "Hem" always seemed to have fallen madly in love with his "next wife" while still married to his then current wife, according to the recent PBS documentary. The Italian babe "countess" was apparently only one of who knows how many who got away, not enchanted by his "charms", allegedly.
they had separate rooms at the ambos. actually, his affair with jane mason was much more raunchy.
Jane Mason was darn good lookin'!😮
Hemingway could write simple shit storys but he was an asshole at heart .
9k in books?? Holy keerap
Hemingway hated all totalitarian governments. I think this is politically skewed.
Hemingway was a man of the "Left" but detested dictatorships of any persuasion.
We visited Hemingway's hotel room in Havana and of course the Floridita...Cuba was certainly interesting. The sad plight of the street dogs reduced me to tears a couple of times.
