Dang, the weekend has come and gone. It didn’t even feel like we had much of one. Time flies when one is having fun.
Well my friends, the stark realization we all face is that we are now moving forward into the new week with it’s own challenges and opportunities ahead. Let’s see what we can do to make the next few days suck less.
I need some coffee. Hang in there good people.
Well its over, Downton Abbey has come to an end. The best show on TV rides off into history. I am not afraid to say I am tearful and mournful. Well done Julian Fellowes and team. Thank you PBS for bringing it to America.
To my fellow bloggers in the UK who are mothers I wish you all a Happy Mother’s Day! Grace and peace to each of you and thank you for raising the kids who will make the world great.
Tonight is the night in the United States where we say farewell to Downton Abbey. It will be a emotional night for many fans around the country. The notion that a drama about a British aristocratic family from the early 20th century would be wildly popular sounds crazy but here we are. Millions of fans around the world have embraced the Crawley family and their downstairs staff as one of their own. I am an Anglophile so this show has a instant soft spot in my heart.
My favorite characters are Robert, Earl of Grantham and Mr. Carson, his butler. They are two men who are the heart and soul of the show. Both of them are responsible for the world’s in which they command.
I will miss Mrs. Patmore, Daisy, Anna and John Bates along with Edith and Violet. So many of these people have inspired and infuriated at the same time.
Downton Abbey, thank you for providing people around the world some quality family drama that we will treasure forever.
Come 9:00 PM, I will be watching on my local public TV station WTCI in Chattanooga.
Politics fast over. I got stuff to say and I am going to say it.
Wires carry important things
Power, data, voices, the web
They send messages and email
Secrets, scandal and mystery you find upon them.
Good and bad news too.
Wires are a very interesting thing.
The future moves ahead and there are less wires
People are cutting the cord
You can get the secrets, scandal and other stuff now.
Text messages, tweets, video, photos and yes even voices.
Electrical pulses, high voltage, above your head, below your feet.
You can’t cool things down or head things up
Wires are still necessary in the day we live
Even though wireless is creeping ahead.
Poles with wires are still around.
