Being Busy...

Sorry I haven't written much lately here. The holidays are quickly approaching, and I'm finding myself with a list of things to do and not much time to do them. Including Christmas cards, buying presents, coordinating where we will be during the holidays, etc.

If you're in the same boat as me, I wish you Good Luck and also suggest you watch a funny movie now and then to keep you from going too loony during this slightly nutty time of year.

And now a thought from Iron Man...

Haven't posted for awhile, but thanks to Netflix, I saw a really great movie the other day called "Iron Man" which is based on the Marvel comic character created by the great Stan Lee. Robert Downey, Jr. was terrific as Iron Man, a.k.a. Tony Stark. So to match my mood today, I'm listing one of the quotes here. It isn't often you get a superhero movie with a sense of humor to boot.

Christine Everheart: "You've been called the Da Vinci of our time. What do you say to that?"

Tony Stark: "Absolutely ridiculous. I don't paint. "

(More witty dialogue here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371746/quotes).

I hope everyone is having a good week...and Happy Veterans Day.

An Amazing Moment in History

Yes, the title seems like it's larger than life. And I mean it. This country has a new leader, who will bring hope and unity to so many far and wide. Here is a link to the text of his historic acceptance speech. We have finally broken the "color barrier" and I can only hope our next step is to have a woman in the White House in my lifetime.

God Bless everyone.

It's Raining Again...

Yes, it's Monday and I have that Supertramp song in my head. It's just circling around in there. Luckily I do like that song, and we do need the rain in northern CA.
