If I was sending a care package to a homesick friend spending six months abroad I would sendkiller brownies, Mike Sells Potatoe Chips, Esther Price Candy, Graeters Ice Cream, Sky Line Chili, Milano's Sandwich

Euchre Night, Facebook, Plinky

Just got home from Euchre night with the girls.  I always have fun playing cards and I think it is a healthy activity.  It makes you think and keeps you socialized.   We play Bid Euchre which is a bit more challenging than straight Euchre.  

Did I tell you, I have a face book account?  My 18 year old son was shocked to find this out.  I told him when he went off to college that I was planning on evolving into Marge after 50.  He thinks social networking is only for the young.  I think social networking keeps you young. 

I have also tried Plinky.  Today's prompt stimulated conversation between my son, my husband and I about our favorite movie lines.  He remembers things like this oh so much better than I.   My husband remembers "You can run but you can't hide"  from Road Warrior, where as my son thinks "Yippee-kay-yay-muthafucka"  from Die Hard  is memorable.  Go figure.

My favorite line from 'Shawshank Redemption'

Get busy living, or Get busy Dying

Walters, Nixon and Frost

I have decided to change my usual repertoire of novels to a steady stream of biographies.  The first one I am tackling is Barbara Walters "Audition".  I am really enjoying it.  What an interesting life this woman has led.  The people she knows, the places she has been, it is all too amazing.  I am enjoying this as my first biography because she talks about places, people and events  with whom I am familiar.  

Last night, I went to see the play  Frost/Nixon.  I compared Barbara Walters description of Nixon and found it to be parallel to the man depicted in the play.  I really enjoyed the play. It was fast moving, no intermission and  Stacy Keach  portrayed Nixon so well.   Between the play and the book, I am becoming more interested in this man, Nixon.  Maybe a Nixon biography is in my future. 

What did I learn about David Frost?  I learned that I would have loved to have been on the invitation list for his parties.  David gave lavish parties and had a world class guest list.  I love lavish parties.  One of the most excessive parties I ever attended was called the "Best of the Best" party given by Boston Beer Company.  The best champagne, the best caviar,  the best cigars, the best martini's, the best raw bar and it went on and on.  I have thrown some pretty good parties myself  it is one of the things I truly love to do.  Until next time...
