Fabulousity

Aretha and her hat were fabulous.
And for the haters: What do you know?
Maybe you have not heard... Aretha is not just diva but diva royalty
She is the undisputed QUEEN OF SOUL!
She can wear something outrageously fabulous like this and you and your small self must respect it.
God Bless America indeed

You know, the Inauguration...

Wow what a day. For me it was a lot of emotions, some happy some sad. I think I felt reminded of a lot of the ugly parts of our history that make electing a black man seem so amazing. I mean, I hate to be the voice of cynical negativity but how sad that this is such an achievement. Given how smart we think ourselves to be (humans) how is it that it has taken us this long to make this one step?

But all of that aside, how great it is to have a smart president.

Now if he is really smart he will consider an about face on his dog thoughts and get a beagle. In these economic times we need to economize and a beagle (or a few) would sure keep the squirrels and bunny rabbits off the white house lawn

2009 is going to be MY year

Okay, so I was walking my dog this morning and two houses down I see a glove on the lawn. But not just any glove, MY GLOVE that has been missing for a month or so. I had lost it on a snowy day and now that the snow has melted... I have my glove back.

Seems like a great omen for 2009: Find something this year that I lost last year.

I also lucked upon a ticket to the Winter Classic at Wrigley Field and got to see a very lively outdoors hockey game today.

I expect 364 more very good days this year.
