50 Years Tomorrow . . .

Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, in order to assure the survival and the success of liberty.



This much we pledge—and more.

John F. Kennedy  January 20, 1961

(This was always my favorite line from the inaugural speech - even more than "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.")

Another excellent play at the Kennedy Center . . .  a great musical that filled the Opera House!!

The leads were fantastic - David Pittsinger's voice is amazing; Carmen Cusack was good (as were all the artists!!) and it was a very entertaining time!

We woke up to no snow (although it was predicted), I dozed off for about an hour and when I next woke up there was a heavy dusting of snow!! All of which seemed to come in about 30 minutes!  Although cold, the snow was mostly gone by the time the play started . . .

The ride home was uneventful . . . except for the horrible news about the shooting in Tucson . . . the country's gone crazy (or at least parts of us have). 

A Week Off

I'm off work this week and enjoying myself!  I had a 'rest' (not a nap but in bed!) yesterday after getting back from taking Bry to work and this morning I actually got a nice nap in before noon!!  I don't care when I have a nap - it's always a good thing!!

Yesterday I puttered around; today I paid some bills and got my hair done (FINALLY).  It was supposed to have been done in early December but I had something else that day, then it snowed and finally the holidays - but today all was done and it's MUCH better!!

Tomorrow I'm torn - do I go pick up my reserve at the library and laze the day away reading or do I go up to Wmsburg to the outlets and spend money?  Decisions decisions!!  I probably won't decide until tomorrow but right now I'm leaning toward the outlets . . .
