Good morning. No rain as predicted last night, but the sun is shining, so I'm happy.

I'm celebrating 2 events today: my youngest daughter's birthday, and the first bloom of my bright RED peonies.

Wishing everyone both good health and a respite from politices.

Well, it certainly is lovely out there. Went for a walk, ran into a friend I hadn't talked to for awhile...he was walking to Starbuck's nearby, so we shared a little news.

Bit, yesterday's WSJ entertainment section had an excellent article by Joe Morgenstern on movies, and those wonderful silent moments which reveal so much....Bogart and Bergman sharing a look in Casablanca and so on...

Near the middle he discusses some of the current movie stars, and adds this: "(Then there's the singular case of Keanu Reeves, a sub-minimalist on whose perfectly blank visage we can project any damned thing we please.)

LOLOL! Perfectly expressed, don't you say??

And then there's this...In a recent American History magazine, there's an ad for the upcoming 2nd annual GI Film Festival in mid-May, DC. Apparently Gary Sinise was honored at last year's premier event. Kinda nice, don't you think??

And with that, I'll end my imitation of James Taranto's Impromptus :-)))

Good morning kind lady, looks as if we are going to have a wonderful day, weather perfect and if wasn't a Sunday I would do some work on the yard when I get home from church.

I am SO sick of politics, Obama is the worst thing that could happen to the USA, Hill-O-Ree a certified liar, and so we have to look at McCain, what other choice do we have? None. Suck it up and vote for him, lets just hope he picks a good, likable running mate, noting wrong about being old ya known=, living proof here.

GD had a spend the night party, yep, I did, scared the heck out of them about 2 this morning, they screamed so loud they woke up the entire family, yep, I am the one who got in trouble ya know.

Time to give the ole ‘shack in the back’ a cleaning, can't understand why it gets soooo messed up, well, I won't admit it anyhow.

In closing I am happy to report that we will have no snow today!
