Home is behind, the world ahead, |
Good morning!
I'm just getting up...and there's a large rainbow colored hot-air balloon right outside my bedroom window...though a bit higher, of course. Dunno why.
Or it WAS there. Appears to have wandered off now.
Naw, you didn't miss anything...just the same ol' hobbit conversations concerning food and drink.
mmmmmm...food and drink...
I said I was a little behind...
So obviously I'm lying ;~D
Good - fair enough! Good morning!
I love hot air balloons...to look at them. One of the nicest dates I ever went on with Steve was a hot air balloon festival. We took a picnic basket with strawberries and champagne and a blanket and just sat and watched them take off. This was in Austin, Texas...of course.
My MIL dreamed of going up in one and finally did for her birthday a couple of years back or so...I have no such inclination. No thank you ma'am.
Wherever it went, it couldn't have gone very fast... Nor can it really hide...
Assuming it was actually there, of course, and you're not just seein' things ;~D
OH! I forgot! Sam's back from his daughter's graduation. He has pics but hasn't posted them yet. Some "Goodall" person spoke at the commencement...
Ah... That would be Jane Goodall...
She's got to be getting 'up there'.
Good morning everyone!
24 was really great last night, wasn't it? (For those who watched).
Other than that, I am really looking forward to the Narnia film this December. It looks fantastic!
Crap. I'm loosing letters when I read.
Everything looks like this
rap, 'm oosing etters en read.
Crap...I gotta call the doc.
I've lost half my visiion! In both eyes! My light switch has two switches in one plate, you khnow? when I look at it it only has one! Even when I cover one eye or the other!
I have a mixed review... I thought the missile story went out with a fizzle... After all that build up, I thought they rushed to close that out.
And I don't think the Chinese would have, or could have, pulled a stunt like kidnapping one of our agents in another city, within what, 4 hours, of the original incident at the consulate.
Some of the technology and knowledge they seem to have instantly at their fingertips is just not feasible. ;~D
But Jack was good... and Palmer was great... and Pres Logan needs to be slapped till he cries.... which won't take much I'm sure.
But I enjoyed the season. We started late, you know, and haven't seen the other seasons. They'd be good to rent now so we can get some of the back story.
Good grief 2J. Get offline and get to the doctor now!
Call a doctor indeed!
The ta k to s.
We had to watch it late as Clare and I helped out at a Girl Scout Bridging ceremony last night. Joseph DVR'd it for us and we finally got around to watching the second half around midnight! It was SO good! I love the tagline for the previews of the next season, "You don't know Jack!"
It's ok...it just starte h flashing.
It's a migraine. I'm fixin' to be in agony. Had this happen one time before.
Kinda freaked me out.
Steve is aware, but it started flashing while I was talaking to him.
The vision is back, but it looks like I'm typing through rippling water! Just like before.
I'm alright...just a bit nauseated and freaking out!
Woks are nice because there is just so much room to move the food around for even cooking. Recipes say you can move the meat up to the side of the wok while you're cooking the veggies, etc, but I've never had success with that. I just move the meat to another dish, cook the veggies, then add the meat back. You have to have strong wrists if you want to handle one of the carbon steel woks single handed! Those suckers are heavy. Not as bad as a cast iron skillet, though. ;o)
It spoils us! It spoils us!
