STAR TREK LIVES!

The new Star Trek movie is out! Flawlessly logical.

'Nuff said.

Age...it's all Relative

I had a conversation with a female colleague the other day concerning our ideas on age, with some interesting results. To our grandparents, our parents are the kids, and we are just babies. I discovered that I'm 16 years older than my colleague's husband, which momentarily made me feel weirdly old. But then it was all put into perspective, since I got asked for ID in buying a bottle of wine for a friend's wedding two days ago. So long story short, we're only as old as we feel it seems. And on that note...have a great weekend everyone!

Two Words: Colds Stink!

But at least my husband and I are dealing with this together. I'm sorry he's sick too, but at least we can remind each other to take our medicine. Everyone I talk to you lately is getting over this, so friends, take your Vitamin C and stay well! Gotta go and grab some more Kleenex for now. Have a good weekend.

An Irish Birthday!

A very Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband today. He's Irish-Scottish in background, but very American in accent and personality. (Although he does love golf...) He got a chocolate cake with raspberry filling and tonight we are going out for a family dinner. No cooking or dishes! Awesome. Here's my thought for the day in form of a great quote from a favorite actor of mine. The whole article can be found at the link below. Now, let's open up a Guinness!

Is it time to build an ark yet?

Look, I know we need the rain. But does it have to happen all at once? At least I have my trusty Tigger umbrella to keep me dry (unless the wind gusts come up). Here's a funny bit for rather soggy Monday thoughts. Refer to "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" for this.

"Ted, who is Joan of Arc?"

"Noah's wife?"

Here Comes The Sun!

With apologies to The Beatles...but I'm overjoyed to actually see blue sky and the funny yellow orb up there for a change! Enjoy the nice weather and I hope your sunglasses are handy as well. Let's all look like Hollywood stars for a minute or two with our shades. Just don't wear them at night. Important safety hint.

Let It (Not) Snow!

Okay, I want the snowpack to be healthy and we do need rain. But snow at higher elevations please! I set a commute home record yesterday. It usually takes me 10 minutes and it took me 1 1/2 hours to go approximately 4 to 5 miles. UGH.

Drive safely everyone and stay warm! (And if anyone wants to do a sun dance, now would be the time. Thank You)
