Just uploaded Beautiful City/Day By Day from Two's Company, sung by Alet Taylor.  Should be viewable right now.  Leave stars, leave comments, for that and other star-less videos.  www.youtube.com/haineshisway

Oops (spoo, spelled backwards) - it's "processing" should be up any minute, though.

Looks like this storm has potential. Shutting down now.

40 years ago today we were in our apartment on Canfield Drive, behind Hamilton High.  I remember watching the landing & that Keith was more excited & in awe than I was.  Neither of us remember having friends over so I think it was just the two of us.

Why are church pews so hard on the back?  I was at the funeral of the gentleman who began my hiking group, just a small dent in all the good he did for this world.

There is much controversy in my family about where each of us was when the moon landing happened.  I was 8 years old but distinctly remember being at my Aunt and Uncle's lake home with my Aunt and Uncle, cousins and my Uncle's sister and brother-in-law. For some reason I don't remember the rest of my family being there.  That wouldn't have been out of the question, there were times I stayed there without my immediate family.

On the other hand my parents insist we were at home.  I'm not sure they both remember the same thing either.   

So...who knows.

Happy to see that Bruno had one of the biggest and sharpest box-office drops in the history of movies - 73% - it's done.  Maybe someone will learn how to make a real comedy again rather than having one disgusting joke and image after another.  Enough is, apparently, enough.

I was at home (in reference to the Moon Landing) in Coon Rapids, MN, staying up late (although it was summer and I didn't have to go to school the next day) watching with rapt fascination. While everyone is entitled to their own opinions it is amazing the lengths to which people will go to deny that the Moon Landing really happened.

I believe I was in the hospital waiting room with my father waiting for my brother, Don, to be born. He was a preemie.  So, starting tomorrow, July 21, Don and I will both be "40" for about a month.


And what do you remember most about the day, Jose?

I guess not much.  However, I still have a very distinct memory - well, more like an image - of waiting in a hospital lobby with my father a few years later when my youngest brother, Jay, was born.

I have no memory of the moon landing 40 years ago.  I was only three and I know we lived in Texas (where my dad was stationed in the army), but I don't really have any strong memories until we moved to Germany, about a year later.

And now, I'm going home to watch TORCHWOOD: CHIDLREN OF EARTH!!  I set both my DVRs to record it, just in case one craps out on me.

Until later!

Happy Birthday to Miss Karen.


Thanks, DR Jennifer. Are you still watching SYTYCD?  My favs are still in the running!


Yes i am. Who are your favorites?


Mine are melissa and ade. I also like kayla. Jason sometimes. The ones i liked least went home this past week.I find brandon is getting on my nerves. Jeanine is growing on me. I think evan is the worst and don't understand why he is never in the bottom. Janette is okay.



All of the girls are soooo good this year -- and I agree that the right two left last week -- although I thought Evan was in possible trouble. Melissa and Janette, but Jeanine is growing on me, too, and Kayla is good, too -- tough decision with the girls .... now the guys, Ade and Bandon (there is something cocky about him, but I'm trying to go by JUST their dancing) are neck and neck, then Jason and then Evan ...

...but I'm open to seeing how they all do this week and willing to change my voting order if someone should happen to bring it on!

Well I just did something spontaneous...I had some frequent flyer miles that were expiring on United....so I cashed them in on a Kitchenaid Food processor!   I can't wait to get it! It's the fancy 12 cup version.   I've had the same number of miles for years and United just isn't convenient from here so I never seem to use them.  What a deal

A real light shower for a little while -- needed more, but as you know, here in AZ we'll take any rain that we can get. How about you? Looks like some storm clouds are headed your way...
