The longest day

In the U.S. it is the summer solstice today.  We have a whopping 16 hours of daylight!  Celebrate summer, celebrate the day that we have so much light.  Take that light into your hearts and shine it on all of us.  We could sure use it!

The Mariners found their "GUY!!!"

I was thrilled to find out today that GAR is now the batting coach of the team!  It had to be him or GRIFFY to come and save them.  Who better than a man so invested in the team!  YEAH!!!!!  Did I say "HELL YES!!!!!  We can jump for joy, now!

Lessons from W.W.F.

I believe a person can get a lesson from just about anything!  So when I got one from "Words" this week, I said, "O.K."  I had a bad tray, one with 5 vowels and 2 consonants.  Of course several of the vowels were the same, and as I sat shaking my head, I decided to just take a breath.  Right in front of me was a place I could put my O and my E !  Yeah!  It wasn't a high scoring word, but it was SOMETHING. I played "ODE."  Then I took a quick look at my tray before I got the new letters and found an "R."  But the die was cast.  To my dismay, I could have put that "R" on it to make "Rode!  It would have been a triple word. Hmmm, I thought, why didn't I pay better attention?!  I won't regale you with all the times I have messed up a square on "Two Dots,"  but suffice it to say, that has happened, also.  What I am trying to say is that we miss the little stuff a lot, some of it very important.  I, for one, will be paying a little more attention to the small stuff from now on, not just on my phone, either!

Let's hear it for Tylenol

These fine people have a new commercial which shows all these different families and says, "Family is not defined by 'who' you are, but by 'how' you are!' The more we come around to right thinking, the better! Kudos to you!

Potential vs Production

Potential, what a great thing to have.  And yet, if we just have potential and no "giddy up" to go with it, it just sits there like a lump of clay.  If you marry potential with production, you get success.  We all have talent, potential.  The Mariners have potential.  They have many good players.  Why, then do they fail so miserably lately?  Why are they underachieving?  The answer lies in the fact that they have not put the two together.  When they do...watch out!  No one can touch them.  They are not the only ones who fall down on this, though.  We all do. As my dear friend told me this morning, "potential means you haven't accomplished anything."  He used to be a coach, himself, so he knows first hand about these things. Thanks honey!  The point is that these two things need to go hand in hand to produce results.  Enough said.

The Purrrrrfect Candidate!

I was in deep discussion with C@BOY last night.  We were considering his running for president.  Did you know that about 200 persons have already registered?  We think the criteria is that you have to be good looking, comfortable in your finances, and finally, and the most important, BREATHING!  Guess what, he has all three!  He feels he is also qualified because of his early days, living in the streets, and the fact that he always is just who he is., no pandering.  When he is extremely irritated, he gives me a good swat, when he is just "done," he hides under the bed.  He is a good communicator.  You  always know that he is "saying what he means, and meaning what he says!"  Well, if that doesn't speak of a great candidate, I don't know what does!  Now, to fill out that pesky form.  His writing is a little "scratchy."

It's about time!!!!!!! But Thanks!

The word is out!  There will be a woman on the 10$ bill for the 100th anniversary of women being able to vote!  They don't know who, yet, but I guess we get to vote!  Now, if they will try not to take away all of our women's rights, we might be getting there!
