Now I think I’ve seen it all!

I thought I was going to fall off of my chair laughing when I found this video! What a riot!

Fireworks

Next week we will be celebrating the 4th of July, which is one of my favorite holidays. Watching the fireworks is always a “blast” and it is a nice 3 day weekend. I can only hope that this heat wave is done and over with by the time it rolls around, it is playing havoc on so many people. I just ain’t right.

Alice In Wonderland

I have promised my niece that I would take her to see the newest version of the old classic tale of Alice In Wonderful. The only reason I have consented to do so is that I am a Johnny Depp fan and I hear that he has done a good job in this new film. Guess we will see this weekend.

Avatar

The Avatar movie is a blockbuster. It’s breaking all box office records and is a technological breakthrough. I am planning to see it this weekend. I’ll let you know if it was as good as they say!

Good Music

Lately I have been hearing some good music. I’m especially impressed with a new release by Robert Earl Keen. If you have a chance to hear him, I hope you will give him a listen and let me know what you think.

Why do you ask?

Solitaire

My dad taught me how to play various solitaire games. We used a deck of cards and there were different ways to deal out the hand and set some cards aside or order them that made for game variations.

Now with the use of computers, I’ve discovered there are many other types of solitaire games that have nothing to do with a deck of cards. You can use tiles and play majong. You can use beads and play Bejeweled. And there are dozens of video games of all types that let you play by yourself.

Happy Indy Day

Today is Independence Day! I’m always glad for the 4th of July, we get a three day weekend and an excuse to get together with friends and family and cook burgers on the grill! And then later we go to see the local fire department’s fireworks show. It’s always fun to go there because we bring chairs and blankets and picnic snacks and end up running into people we know and have a good time visiting there too. What makes it better is that the fire department often arranges to have some entertainment going on before the fireworks; a local band plays a couple of sets, there are refreshment stands, face painting for the kids. There is a carnival type atmosphere and the fireworks show is always a good one!

Bike Ride

Last Saturday a group of my friends and I spent the day cruising the roads on our bikes. We had been planning this outing since last winter, and it finally came to fruition. There were about fifteen of us on our Harleys, and we all had our ladies riding behind. We rode for a few hours and stopped at a roadside diner for lunch, and then rode home again using a different route. It was a beautiful day for a ride, and we all had a great time. I hope we can do this again next summer too!
