Rain, Rain Don't Go Away

Yes, it's raining. That's a sign that spring is on the way, right? I mean, it could be snow!!! Right now, I'll take some rain; we need it desperately.

Hmm, what to talk about next. Boy am I at a loss for words. I guess today was too boring to talk about, lol. I watched The Amazing Race tonight. I was so happy when I saw who was eliminated! There are a couple teams I'm rooting for, one is really struggling right now, but things could change. Unfortunately, there are a couple of really good teams in the lead, and it will be difficult (or will take a lot of luck) to get ahead of them.

I was going to call Paul tonight, since I haven't heard from him since he and I talked Saturday night. But between 7 and 8, I just got too tired and didn't have the energy to get up, get the phone and call him. I'll do it tomorrow night. I can't not try this, I have too much invested to not try. Whatever happens, I'll deal with it, and go on.

Unbelievable all the people that have died in the last week. Don Knotts, 81, best known for his portrayals of Barney Fife on The Andy Griffith Show and as Mr. Furley on Three's Company; Darren McGavin, 83, who portrayed Mike Hammer in the 50's, and a reporter on Kolchak: The Night Stalker in the 70's; Dennis Weaver, 81, won an emmy for his acting in Gunsmoke as the Deputy, another lawman in McCloud, and probably the role I remember best, an average joe being followed and attacked by a mystery truck in Duel; Kirby Puckett, one of the most, if not THE most, beloved baseball players for the Minnesota Twins, after suffering a stroke yesterday at the age of 44; Dana Reeve, also 44, wife of the late Christopher Reeve, just seven months after announcing she was battling lung cancer. Every year it seems we lose more and more legendary and talented actors, actresses, and people who inspire us all. Please say a prayer tonight for the families of all these people.

  2. Cancer has a way of ripping into someone's life quicker than you realize. Keep your friends close...you never know when you may lose them. I found that out last week.
