How many of you watched the Grammy Awards tonight? Mike & I are throughly enjoying the celebration of all these talented people. Whitney Houston's death is a very sad part however, of the evening. I remember crying when watching her sing "I will always love you" years earlier. How anyone could make a person feel so much, is inncredible. Probably many of you are feeling the same way. Today was a fun day visiting Ft. Lauderdale. It was cold, not even reaching 65. Walked along the ocean and stopped along the way at some interesting...

As example, a red light will turn on at the electrical panel and that will be followed by a low buzz. Investigation reveals absolutely nothing, but the warning stops. There are an increasing number of these annoyances and it may be time to make up a list and start digging...

Dec 21, 2008 - Musings from Florida
Charlotte had her emotional moment on Mykonos . . . the tears that come when we remember a time that seems so long ago . . . when we passionately loved a time and a place. I had my moment this morning as I stood on the balcony in the early morning and gazed out at the pristine beach and the beautiful Atlantic Ocean. I have forever been drawn to the ocean. It calls to me in ways that I can't describe. When we made the decision to move to California back in '79, I was beside myself with joy over the fact that we'd be living "so close" to the...
