What, to you, makes a movie good or, even, great?   After Superstorm Sandy, my husband and I refurbished our downstairs den into a movie room. Ever since that time, once a month a group of friends come over, and we bring in dinner and enjoy a movie.  

It’s that time again; people plan holiday parties.

I love to laugh. As a matter of fact I still even chuckle at Norman's jokes :).   For some reason, in the middle of doing my daily pushups the other morning, I remembered when I had one of those uncontrollable, belly hurts laughs. In my memory of that moment, it seemed to last a half hour but I'm sure it was a bit shorter. I started laughing and experienced the joy all over again. I'm so grateful for those experiences.They don't happen very often.

Showers require water, lots of water and water is our most taken for granted Natural Resource. So much so, that when I take a shower I turn off the faucet after I’m watered down and before I soap up.

Gotham is amazing. Perhaps I had taken Gotham for granted for a while.

It’s the biggest sporting event in the world.  More people watch and follow the World Cup Tournament than any other sporting activity.  Thirty two countries qualified for this year’s event. The World Cup is almost a hundred years old. It is held every four years and the 1930 initial Cup was won by Uruguay.  

All day yesterday, I couldn’t escape that first day of school feeling.  Frankly, I’m not sure I wanted to escape it.  With the benefit of hindsight, I look back fondly on those firsts.  

It’s Cyber-Monday and my in box is exploding. I must admit, whenever I go to a store and they offer me an additional 10% off if I give my email address, I always do. My intent, always, is to unsubscribe when I get that first email. But I never do.
