Really loving your list, DR Jeanne.

Would only add a general return to civility, kindness and compassion. A pipe dream, I know.

I am listening to James Horner's soundtrack score for the film Glory. There are several quite stirring themes. There is also one cue that is a complete ripoff of Orff's Carmina Burana.

Since it's a hot Saturday in August a little dreaming/fantasizing/wishful thinking seems in order. I'll start:

I'd love to see:
-- some evidence come out of the FBI raid that is so damaging, so over-the-top that it cannot be ignored and a certain former president can no longer run for public office.
-- new technologies that make healing the planet much easier. (I consider low-flow toilets and shower heads to be in this category as well as some of the newer innovations for cleaning the oceans. This is doable.)
-- a big advance for Ukraine and a crumbling of military capacity for Russia.
-- a change in attitude from many billionaires to give away more of their wealth to charities.
-- a blue wave come November.


How's that for a start? I'd like to hear other ideas.

Sounds good.  With number one, if it is that damaging they can't actually release the information so how do they prove it?

I made some tuna salad for lunch. The rest of the day, I've been smelling tuna and couldn't figure out why.

And then I just remembered that when I was draining the can of tuna, some of the juice sprayed onto my shirt.     :P

Changed my shirt. Problem solved.

Would that all of life's problems were so easily resolved.

We didn't really know anyone, however, our friend introduced us to someone who went to our high school.

No connections there, however, she knew very good friends of ours from a different school before transferring to our neighborhood.  Small world.

While at the party we took a photo and texted it to our friends.  They called back while we were driving home so we have a nice conversation.

finished with part one of perk organization - obviously doing the big stuff last, but we got a lot of the CD perks done and more. Still lots to do so helper person will be back this week to help. I think two more sessions should do the trick, then the helper can come pick it all up and get it shipped.

Had an omelet earlier, and tonight am only eating some cucumber roll and a tiny bit of seafood salad.

An omelet sounds good right now.

But they did well during the line dances. We did three: Cupid Shuffle, the waltz and Boot-Scootin’ Boogie.

I also taught them part of Thriller in the hopes they’ll be able to do all of it by Halloween.

I’m getting ready to watch the last episode of John from Cincinnati. I really enjoyed the series. Same guy who created Deadwood, David Milch.

LaCroix Limoncello sparkling water is quite wonderful.
