In the News

Dear Readers,

It is a cool, windy, overcast day in the land of sunshine.  My work schedule doesn't lend itself to a trip to the dog beach today but we would likely not be going anyway since they have predicted gale force winds.  And yes, they used the word "gale".  I'm not just being dramatic for effect.

The big news around town is that they are filming scenes for a Disney movie that is due out in 2015.  Rumor has it that George Clooney, Tim McGraw or Hugh Laurie could be making an appearance though no official sources have confirmed that.  Scenes for this movie have already been filmed at Disney World in the Carousel of Progress...my all time favorite attraction there!  And then I read that some of the scenes here in town will be filmed at the Dairy Queen...um another favorite of mine!  This movie already gets two thumbs up from me and it hasn't even been made yet. 

This morning after a 12 hour fast and a delayed cup of morning coffee I had blood drawn for routine labs.  It gave me flashbacks to when I tried to give blood a while back.  She stuck my right arm and could only get one vile so then she had to stick my left arm to get the rest.  And it hurt.  I whimpered out loud.  She asked if I wanted her to remove the needle.  I said if you can get the samples you need, just do it.  Currently I am sitting here ingesting coffee thinking that I won't try donating blood again anytime soon.

On Monday, I went to the Veterans' Day service in town.  It was a beautiful day and a nice service.  Where the mayor lost points with me for talking politics in his Memorial Day speech, he made up for it when in lieu of making a speech he invited every Veteran in attendance to come up to the microphone and state their name and branch of the military served.  My guess is that there were between 50-100 Veterans there and we applauded each and everyone of them.   As it should be.

Because it is cool here, I think it must be cool everywhere today, so bundle up and stay warm.

Until next time...
