The Red Dress

I always saw, I always said If I were grown and free, I'd have a gown of reddest red As fine as you could see, To wear out walking, sleek and slow, Upon a Summer day, And there'd be one to see me so And flip the world away. And he would be a gallant one, With stars behind his eyes, And hair like metal in the sun, And lips too warm for lies. I always saw us, gay and good, High honored in the town. Now I am grown to womanhood.... I have the silly gown. Dorothy Parker

Don’t know if that show is repeated or not. Don’t think so! But Glen Beck’s show is repeated. Maybe The Mayor will have something he can show...I don’t know! Hope so, for the ones who missed it. He told it like it was!!!

Darn I missed it. Were you invited to his studio as I'm curious if he's as wonderful in person as he appears?

I suspect a replay may air as late as 4:00 a.m. but if it's sooner I'll try to catch it.

[The Mayor]

Just got home. We went for a drink and then to dinner. Boy people are recognizing me everywhere I go now. Walkd into Shannon Pub and two people out front said, hey you were just on TV... : )

I have to find the video so I can upload it to you tube. If any one has it please let me know and I will convert it and upload it. Thank you for all your kind words, I have fun doing this stuff, just wish I got paid for it... : )

[The Mayor]

No, on remote wish I was in studio.
I have to find the video so I can you tube it.

We had a great couple of days at a campground in the woods next to the Cape Cod Canal, beating the crowds by doing it before Labor Day weekend. Ate great and had a super boat cruise through the canal.

Unusually, the weather was exquisite.

[Lady Jag]

Meant to ping to 249

I told Amy that you were in “old Cape Cod”...and I was so jealous! Glad you had fun and enjoyed your holidays! Sure is quiet around here!

Been gone all day workin' at our new house so I missed seeing Rus on Cavuto. Lookin' fwd to a youtube link when it's posted.

Speaking of youtube, got this message in an email today...

this is beautiful - Enjoy!

Take a few minutes - you will like what you see!

This video was made in the Antwerp , Belgium Central (Train) Station on the 23rd of March 2009.

. . . with no warning to the passengers passing through the station, at 08:00 am a recording of Julie Andrews singing 'Do, Re, Mi' begins to play on the public address system.

As the bemused passengers watch in amazement, some 200 dancers begin to appear from the crowd and station entrances.

They created this amazing stunt with just two rehearsals!

Don't forget to turn the sound on !!

Enjoy!

[Lady Jag]

Had a great time on Old Cape Cod. Got to hit the hay from having such a great time.

Have a wonderful night and see you tomorrow.

[jaycee]

Terrific, Dave, truly enjoyed!!

[MEG33]

Life Is Good

ODB RADIO: Listen Now |  Download
READ: Romans 8:31-39

I am persuaded that [nothing] shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. —Romans 8:38-39

While shopping in a nearby tourist town, I wandered into a small store stuffed with clothing and other items all marked with the slogan “Life is good.” Sometimes we need to remind ourselves of that simple truth.

When the work of earning a living, raising a family, maintaining health and fitness, and managing relationships starts to overwhelm us, it’s good to think about how small our part in the universe really is. While we obsess over our work, God quietly does His. He keeps the earth rotating, the planets revolving, and the seasons changing. Without any help from us, He makes the sun rise every morning and set every evening. Every night He changes the pattern of lights in the sky. He turns out the light so we can sleep, and turns it on again so we can see to work and play. Without lifting a finger, we get to enjoy sunrises and sunsets. Every year the seasons change on schedule. We don’t need to pray about it or tell God that it’s time to send spring. All that He does reminds us He is good (Acts 14:17).

Life will at times be difficult, often it is painful, and for now it is imperfect. But still it is good, for in all these things nothing can separate us from God’s lavish expressions of love (Rom. 8:39).

Thank You, loving Father, for the good gift of life. Forgive me for making it complicated for myself and others. I thank You and praise You for all You do so that I can enjoy so much. Amen.

God’s grace is immeasurable; His mercy inexhaustible; His peace inexpressible.
Bible in One Year: Psalms 146-147; 1 Corinthians 15:1-28

Sorry I missed Cavuto's show with you on it. Just got your ping to Amy's Place.

Some fantastic graphics here, not to mention everything else.

[The Mayor]

Love it here at Amys. I am trying to find the video of the show.
