Scattered

I'm late writing tonight. Our PBS station showed what might've been a rerun - an American Masters about Carol Burnett. And who could stop watching her! Heavens, what a talent! And as John said when it was over, weren't we lucky to have been in that time when she was doing her show.

I have a scattered bunch of thoughts to talk about tonight. On Bill Moyers Journal tonight, he quoted a question that Katie Couric asked presidential candidates: " which book, other than the Bible, would you take with you to the White House?". Then Moyers asked which book his viewers would want the next president to read, and to post that answer on his blog. Think about it and go to his blog at pbs.org to post it. If you do that, come here and let me know what you choose. I'm still working on it, but I'll post it here when I come up with one.

There was an article in the paper the other day about the huge number of people who were falling for on-line scams. I was amazed that, according to this, people have lost $100 million to the Nigerian scam. It's incredible that people are still falling for that one. I guess there really IS a sucker born every minute.

In today's paper, Dalton Roberts tells a story about an 81 year old woman in France who goes to a park every day in good weather, and holds up a sign that says "Available to talk." What a great gift she is giving to the world - a reminder that good still exists. She could've just stayed home, but here she is, offering to listen to and talk with people. What a great idea. Take some time to just offer to listen.

John's doing well. The nerve block has worn off, and he's starting to have some pain, but that's to be expected. He has done some of the "elephant swing" exercises, and that certainly got his attention. Thanks for all the good wishes.

Today's picture is to let you know that spring will come - apple blossoms in CO.
