Guess which short-lived, decade-old space cowboy series I just finished watching on Netflix?

Excellent series. What a shame it was so short lived. And the movie to tie up lose ends was ok. But it just ticked me off. I did not like some of the ‘solutions’

I am in the office, exhausted for the family issues I've been dealing with for the last weeks, and yearning for the serenity I once had when I lived along the Virginian coast. Moving back to Mass. was the worst mistake I've ever made.

Serenity now!
Serenity now!

The movie felt way too much like they were trying to make a movie. I like the idea of “I can kill you with my brain” more than super ninja River.

I was just talking to my SIL and her parents live in Smithville, TN, and her mom saw a RATTLESNAKE out by their shed yesterday! she had to wait him out, and then when her husband got home, he wanted to shoot it, but it was gone. I would never leave the house again! who knew there were rattlers in TN? and i asked how she knew what it was and xsSIL said it was RATTLING!

We all look for peace and serenity
But it’s crushed by Obama’s insanity
A socialist, lying
A great country, dying
It’s hard to avoid an obscenity

My daughter’s last day here and she is working on our brick pavers. Her boyfriend saw the unfinished project and insisted they fix it. It looking awesome. They get on the plane this afternoon. Wish the trip was longer. So far, he is a real keeper. They joke a lot about getting engaged. His mother speaks only Spanish so I told him it wouldn’t work if we can’t discuss the grandchildren together. He cracked up laughing and moaning about grandchildren.

Well if it last another 3 1/2 hours he'll need to seek medical attention.
