A few items.

To all 12 or so that read this (from the comments on FB the number is growing and soon we'll be featured on tv or something- yeah right!), I hope your evening is going well. Wednesdays are always cool- halfway through a week. When I used to work, this day was the best to get over with, it was all downhill from there. I miss working in a way- the crazy deadline oriented stuff i used to do was perfect for my personality. But, I am grateful to spend the past two years at home with Nick to make sure he's on the right path due to his Occular Albinism...and he is now! Thanks to Bascolm Palmer at Univ. of Miami, the retina specialist here in CWater, and Lighthouse program that sends us free DVDs, and audio stories that he can enjoy at his age. Anyhoo- random tv surfing tonight waiting for Top Chef (of course another Bravo show we follow). It's interesting for a reality show and we enjoy the recipes and competitions - not to mention Tom Collichio (sp). He is so funny with his smirks and utter disgust at the mediocre dishes but also has humorous advice for the contenders. Here are a few other things that ran through my mind today as we ran around doing errands and then visiting the marina for sunset and an ocean view....
1. The Gov from ILL looks like the hobbit from Lord of the Rings - Sam! His hair is like a helmet and he has a really boyish face like Sean Astin did. Superficial comment realizing all that's going on there but that's so played out in the news already.
2. I wish Pres. Bush had a big hard boot to throw back at that reporter. I know the press loves this stuff esp about Bush but enough disrespect already- the press is a monster these days.
3. I can't wait for 4-8 more years of the Clintons.
4. We had alot of fun at Phillip's FAA Christmas party Saturday night in Tampa...thanks to my sis for watching over our home and boy :)
5. We may very well go back to no tv soon- will discuss soon w/ family. We did this for 3 years and it was great.. no news show, no Paris, no Britney, no trash. We would get Gator games on PC or radio live with Mick to crank up in the backyard or living room...and there was alot more guitar playing, painting and less laziness ...and more fun money.
6. Lately after joining Facebook and Twitter, I have been flooded with memories of my 20's and earlier with old friends, etc. Sometimes a very good thing, sometimes glad I just made it out ok with a heart still full of love to give.
7. I hope my grandmother McCarthy is well- she's lost alot of memory although she's over 80 and had a great life, I know she misses grandpa Mcc and it must be hard for her to be alone. We visit alot and she loves the little ones from us and the cousins. She painted alot, fished alot, played the organ and had these huge fish aquariums with crazy exotic saltwater fish.
well....that's enough for now, I hear football but it's just a rerun of that glorious game we won recently. Sorry to hear Bama didn't get a better bowl. BCS stinks.
Sleep tight. JLM
