My blog, WordPress and Twitter helps me keep up with stuff so I can sound informed and relevant. It’s nice to be on top of things when one is 50. Of course there are some things that I don’t get and probably never will but I try.

Remembering My Grandmother Today
Five years ago my grandmother Polly passed away. She’s a great woman who took on a lot of responsibility at a young age when her own father, my great-grandfather passed away. Along with my grandfather they raised 3 great kids and she helped raise her grandchildren. Without her I wouldn’t be the person I am today. I miss her every day and am comforted she is one of the saints and angels who greeted my dad when he went to heaven. Grandmom I love you very much and your presence is felt always.
Having My Say
When I criticize my country I am told to leave if I don’t like it. That sort of argument is stupid. My country is broken and doesn’t work for everyone so therefore I will say so. It is my right to have my say provided by the constitution that allows them to carry weapons of mass destruction. There’s a lot wrong and it has to be fixed.
Four Weeks
Dad, it’s been four weeks since you left us and I so wish you were still here. Not suffering, not sick but very much well and being alive in spirit and body. I miss you every day.

Downton Abbey The Movie Was Everything And It Was Terrific
Downton Abbey is a world-wide phenomenon and has a global audience so a movie is what would take it to a new level. This movie takes what you love about the TV show and makes it bigger and in some ways better because of the big screen. The story of a big event coming to Downton makes the Crawley family and their downstairs team rise to the occasion. Seeing Highclere Castle in the cinema was awesome.
If you have never seen the TV show this movie will inform you along the way as to what hard core fans have learned about this family over six seasons on ITV in the United Kingdom and PBS in America. I so recommend this movie to everyone. It’s truly a great family drama which we need more of on TV and in the Movies.
Dub’s Place A Local Legend
Dub’s is one of those local eateries with a long tradition of providing burgers and fries, sodas and shakes. They also do so much more including some of the best pulled pork I’ve had. This was a great meal for a Friday night.
