Thanksgiving

I'm at my parents (in Michigan). The flights were fine. Just an hour delay from Jacksonville so we didn't leave until 8pm EST. When we arrived we were welcomed with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. Everything looks so pretty. I'm loving it, reminds me of my younger days. I think we had snow for Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter. Well maybe not..but that's what I remember.

I really really got into the Zero 7 song "Waiting Line" on the flights up here. Something about the song and looking out on to a sea of stars really just moved me. The other song that I had to hear each flight was The Supermen Lovers "Starlight". Unfortunately it made me want to dance and they discourage that type of behavior on flights. Ah well....I did jam out a little in the airport terminal. Okay...not really but I did chair dance.

I got some news the other day from my college roommate, Lisa. Her mother had a growth on her lymph node in her neck. They removed it and are doing lots of tests on it. Unfortunately the first results came back and it's cancer. Lisa is as anyone would expect, upset. Her mother isn't that old. I guess we all say that though as we advance in age. Just some kind thoughts would be appreciate for her.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. Count your blessings. Treasure your family.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
