The Story Of My Life

I'm not ending a romance.  There hasn't been one of those to toss out the window in dang near ten years.  What I'm headin' back to the drawing board for is to recreate my life.  Facing 50 yrs old, I am in dire need of a life change.  According to MY idea of change.  And I had to add that little phrase 'cause one thing I know for sure is that one must be verrrry specific about what he wants.  Generalities can kill a cat.  I've learned the hard way.  No, I'm not ending a romance.  But I'm ending a relationship with Discontent.  And Non-Fulfillment..  And Not-Living-Up-To-My-Potential.  Like so many others in this world, I'm starting over again.  But where do I begin?  God knows.  And soon...so will I.

Clap Band

One of my dearest friends has finally made a very bold move toward losing the weight he believes has held him back for years.  Bravo to him!  Now, his continued perseverance and his new Lap Band will shape his new look.  I wish him the very best.  I hope that, without all the excess "baggage," he won't feel weighed down any longer and can finally soar like an eagle.  Bravo to him!  Bravo!

Yes, Ma'am!

The Company You Keep

Walt Disney.  P.T. Barnum.  Milton Snavely Hershey.  Larry King.  Abraham Lincoln.  And the list goes on and on.  Honestly, if I go through with it, I'd be in some pretty damn incredible company!  Lying down and having my "belly" rubbed might be the best thing to happen to me in ages!!!!!!!!!  We'll see.

Oh, To Be A Teenager Again!

I'm so in love with this song that I find it enjoyable when Katy Perry (the original vocalist) sings it AND when this kid on Glee warbles it!  Haaa!  Goodness knows I had my share of teenage dreams.  And adult dreams.  And...  Haaaa!

Purple Paradise

I'm gettin' ready to take a break from the computer and watch the reunion of the cast of The Color Purple on Oprah!  Loved the movie.  Love Oprah.  So, this should be a good time!  :)

Public Education

It's nice to know that some public educations aren't going to waste.  This 14-yr-old kid, GRAEME TAYLOR, who spoke before a school committee against the suspension of his teacher, makes me proud to be an M-A-N.
