long as you have your cameras and your mind you will never be broke.

Wellllll...I have my cameras anyway.

Morning hosers!!!!!!!!

Just finished first cup of coffee. Got up LATE for me this morning, about 7:15 a.m.
Have a massive sinus headache. Trying to settle it down to a dull roar before I have to head to work. Hoping to get to see that baby today.

Rain has moved out, skies are clear!! Headed into the 40s today, mid- or even upper 50s tomorrow. These little respites from the cold and dreariness are what help me hang on until spring. Hoping to go out and find some eagles at a nearby dam tomorrow morning.

Morning, hosers.

Got my book club tonight. We're reading a book that I've been wanting to read on my own anyway, so that worked out nicely. It's called Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain.

It's really quite fascinating. Lots of really interesting things about how the brain works.

Oh, I've seen that book; I think I might have even purchased it on my Kindle, but haven't read it yet. Thanks for the reminder, gonna find it and put it in the queue.

I just finished reading Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand, the book upon which the movie was based. I wasn't sure I wanted to see the movie, but it did intrigue me, so I picked up the book. It was good, but it was a HARD read. Not hard in an intellectual sense, but hard to keep reading through all the horrible things that the POWs dealt with on a daily basis. Every fiber of my being wanted to just skip ahead to the end of the war, but I felt like I "owed" it to them to stick with it and read on.

Morning, hosers! Sorry about the headache Sharon. Mine hurts too, but the Advil kicked it pretty hard and I expect the coffee sitting in front of me now will finish the job. I was worried at first because it's one of the common symptoms of some of the bugs that have been going around in this area. Relatively warm today, started in the low thirties, supposed to go up a few degrees.

Definitely read it. I mean, I didn't need it to tell me that I'm an introvert - this fact has been clear to me my whole life. But it's well-written and really informative about the whys and hows of the introversion/extroversion split.

I've got Unbroken on my shelf and want to read that next. I have no desire to see the movie, especially after reading a few reviews. I read Seabiscuit and was very impressed with her writing.

Actually, right now I'm in a pretty good mood, because, as of 4:18 EST this afternoon...the baby was born!! She is absolutely adorable.....

Cannot. Reconcile. Use. Of. Those. Words. In. Same. Sentence.

I know, John! I am NOT one of those women who just gushes over the little babies all the time. I barely thought my OWN babies were all that adorable, at least not as newborns.

But this baby is special. And she really IS adorable. The fact that I think so does worry me--I'm afraid I may be turning into a...a...a...GRANDmother type!

I'll say a prayer for you!

I lost my mind long ago. I'm renting right now.

Buenos Dias Coffee Hosers. It is 50F at 6:45 a.m. Should hot 75F again today. Yesterday was so pleasant it was absolutely glorious. 75F, not a cloud could be seen, "Blue skies, Smiling at me, Nothing but blue skies, Do I see." and a warm, sunny and a gentle breeze.

Sadly, a friend of mine, he calls me Uncle, owns a doughnut shop in a poorer part of Los Angeles. Two days ago his brother was working the shop and was stabbed and died during the course of a robbery. It is all very sad. Yesterday, a rally/march for peace was organized by LAPD and the indigenous population. It was tough watching watching the grieving family in the lead ... but moving as well as the neighborhood people came together in memorial to Andy and to say enough is enough. Hopefully, something good would come from his passing.

Wow, sorry to hear about that Gary. Sad indeed and the circumstances make it so much harder to work through that grief. I've had two friends lose a loved one (parent in both cases) to similar violence; one was an older woman who was stabbed during a home invasion, but she was also…well, the robbers didn't just rob her and stab her, I'll put it that way. Her son never did get over it and ended up committing suicide about a decade later.
