In the end..

In life, music plays a role in helping us all live in the moment -- because the moment is all we have.

What to write...


While checking out another blogger's site, EricBlues, I saw his recent posting on a writing challenge he is in. In his posting he showed a plot machine like the one above. His plot was different of course but when I clicked on it and got the one above, I thought...hmmm wouldn't this make a great cartoon? Thanks E.

A blustery day...

Tonight I am going to watch Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day. While we have had many blustery days here as of late and today is equally so. The winds are howling and it is trying to snow. A good thing to do on tax day.

Don't judge a book by its cover

While scanning the news links today, I ran across an article on Susan Boyle. You need to check it out. It is amazing how we as a society judge someone based on their looks. Click on the picture to see the video.

Susan -- good luck and I hope you win Britian's Got Talent.

Go Scotland!

Awesome day

Today was a blast. My dad, mom and I went to see the flower fields in Carlsbad, CA. They are stripes of Ranunculi flowers. Down on the south end of the fields, the American flag is starting to bloom.

They tell me about all these restaurants they go to and I come and cook. Well I told my parents that I was tired of it. So for lunch we went to Felix's BBQ with Soul. Oh my...yummy. The food was amazing. I tried their Alabama chicken wings, gumbo, hush puppies, BBQ pork sandwich and corn muffins. Next time I want to go there for breakfast to try the chicken and waffles. Mom says the catfish is awesome. So if you are out that way, check them out.

Later in the afternoon, my dad and I did some bowling on the Wii. We had a lot of fun. My dad is great.

My Wii addiction

Last fall when I bought my Wii, I told my nephew Joe that I would purchase a game for him to play over Thanksgiving weekend. He and his dad checked out the game list for Wii and found Lego Star Wars. After Christmas, my nephew kept asking me how far I had gotten on different levels, etc... Well since I didn't want to give him false information, I started playing it. It is a great stress reliever.

Today I am in California for Easter and per a request from my nephew, the Wii travelled with me. The security scanners at Sky Harbor airport thought it was interesting. So today Joe and I played Lego Star Wars for about 6 or so hours. The hard part is I have finished all of the levels at least once so at times my frustration level is a bit high. :-) But the best part is we are having fun!
