The West Wing is a good show. It's sags c. season 5, maybe, but ends strong. You have access to a spaceship?
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you both! Our family surprised us last night with a dinner of family, friends, and those from the wedding party who are still with us/could be there. They even took us to the same restaurant where or our rehearsal dinner was all those years ago.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Have you gotten to the Matthew Perry/Supreme Court episodes of The West Wing? He was so very good in that dramatic role.
ReplyDeleteI try not to lie, but I have told some white lies similar to the ones you mentioned. I've heard your local expressions here in Alabama. I couldn't think of any really good ones when I was writing but I just thought of one. Instead of grocery cart, many here say grocery buggy! Have you heard that one?
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! :o)
ReplyDelete#7 - That's a good point. I sufffer from that too. It's because I've been too long working and now I'm retired that mindset is still there. It's got to be a work in progress for me now I think. A new project if you like - learn to just relax, Dave!!
#9 - When I am World President, you won't have to learn to drive a spaceship. All the bad guys will be on what is fast becoming a fleet of them.
:o)
Cheers
