Sounds like you need to escape to sunny CA for awhile! Maybe an afternoon tour of a winery would be just the thing to lose those mid-winter blahs! Oh, and mid-D blahs. Which are blahs. But it is what it is, right?

Oh yes, it is what it is. You know me so well...

an mid-winter escape to sunny CA (referring to the state not the country) where the temperature is actually above freezing in January when it is sunny.. sounds delightful.

A afternoon tour of a winery shared with a dear friend & confidant with a celebration supper afterwards sounds even better..

Do you think the local travel agent has a special on the mid-winter/mid-D blahs tour? especially on such short notice? lol

Hey Bridge.

How ya' doin' today?

[Bridgestone]

Doing well, despite a Monday.. it will be a short week & yourself?

I'm doin' pretty good. Worked over the weekend, and it's warming up here a little bit for the next 4 or 5 days. Son and I went to see 'Blind Side' last Friday and had a good time...it's a good movie.

Warming up here too.. actually to above freezing by Wednesday

Went & saw Law Abiding Citizen on Friday night. also good but probably in a very different way.

Definitely a thriller...in lots of ways.. it was a bit gorey, things got blown up, and Gerald Butler got naked (whoot!)

Boy did he have nice.. umm ..eyes yeah it was the eyes.

Ha! Sandra Bullock was in 'Blind Side' and she has quite nice attributes herself!

Hi Bridge. Wanted to share something with you I got off of GIMA's thread this morning...

If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

-Rudyard Kipling


Is that good, or what?

Hope you have a happy day.

Mwah...hi Bridgey-didge (play on words...Aussie slang Ridgy-Didge which means something is genuine)

Sorry I've been off the radar.... flat out at work and with gym stuff.
