We&#8217;ll do fine without the Christmas part today, but we would prefer to be together. Here&#8217;s a little bit of remedy for the distance between Florida and Texas.
There&#8217;s not much I can add to [...]]]></description>

It took me a long time but it was worth the wait. I finally found a movie  to rent that I could relate to, laugh out loud to and learn something  from:
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

I wanted to say it is very good, but, well, it&#8217;s a mystery.
I didn&#8217;t quite follow the recipe, since I had only dark corn syrup and no light syrup. I also added just a touch of lime to the cream cheese part and a small dollop of [...]]]></description>

With window open rain fell as if the night sky was playing a piece from its most loved composer, a master piece.  The percussionist was at her best. I don&#8217;t believe I have ever heard thunder roll for so long and so magnificently. The long last ending seemed to rattle the window one last [...]]]></description>

Today is the day I have waited for
I have time to live, though it be brief
Each day is as life; how could we want more
And time takes it too soon [...]]]></description>

Mark Twain is a Mentor, Inspiration to me.
I was in a dream as my place on the Earth, again, found the Sun. Glory be for that. If it was up to me we would all be spinning off into Oblivion, hopeless.

&#8216;Face to Face&#8217;
(photography by V. Thrasher)
And I am listening to bombs exploding in the distance
As Midnight rolls around
I&#8217;m thinking of &#8216;Seeing Past and Into&#8217;
Magical diversity abound
Are we seeing past?:
Color, Gender, Age, Youth
Religion, Handicap, Nationality
Beauty, Uglyness
Children, Old People
Strangers, Familuarity
And Different Creatures to boot!
How short sighted we can be when we are &#8216;Face to &#8216;Face

Who is that fine looking young man? Well, you might not recognize him, but it&#8217;s Steve, who mentioned a few days ago that he might cut his hair. When I got home, he had buzzed it off pretty short.
Some people were shocked.

Others really liked it.

And couldn&#8217;t keep their hands off him!


I think Steve just wanted [...]]]></description>
