Thumbs Down
Ugh. Thumbs down for I Am Legend. It had me for the first 55 minutes. The beginning intrigued me. I wanted to know more. Then, I just wanted to know how much time there was until the end. I was so disappointed. Thumbs down.

Too Many TV Crime Dramas
I realized the other day … I’ve watched too many Crime Dramas. I love CSI, NCIS, and Bones. I like the mystery, the puzzle, the science, and the pursuit of answers. Last week I came out of the Westgate branch library. Next to the library is a barber and next to the barber is a Thai restaurant. The restaurant has

Breakfast at Tiffanys by Truman Capote: Although I didnt like the story/plot/characters I think Truman Capote certainly had a gift for writing.

Bread Baking and other smells
Thinking about my favorite sounds got me thinking about my favorite smells. When I was growing up in Fargo there was a bread factory and every time we drove by, we could smell the bread baking. It’s one of my favorite smells. Today, it’s raining and I love the smell of rain. Oddly enough, another one of my favorite smells

Train Whistles in the Night
One of my favorite sounds is a train whistle in the night. Tonight, it is warm and I have the windows open – and a passing train blew its whistle. What are your favorite sounds?

Breathe Outside!
The Advanced Yoga Posse and I were out on the deck this past Thursday. The temperature was perfect, the sun was bright, and it was wonderful to be outside again. Thanks to Bev for suggesting, urging, and convincing me to get the broom out, sweep the deck, and get us all out there.
