I am listing to music that I listened to when I was a teenager. Very loud! It feels like being 18 again! Awesome!

Finally feeling better. For the past two weeks I've felt like I was just on the edge of getting sick. You know like when you can feel a virus or cold coming but it hasn't taken root yet? I never got fully sick so I guess my immune system is doing it's job. :)

I spent 10 hours in a movie theater today watching the Acadamy award nominated movies. I saw Amour, which I liked, Les Mis, which was better the second time, Argo, which was fantastic and Django, which, had I not been with my sister in law, I would have walked out on. Next Saturday I get to see the other five movies!

Suzanne, that is wonderful. Grandkids can be such a blessing. Just wish mine lived closer (sigh).

Went to see Million Dollar Quartet last night. For those of you who don't know it's a play about a 1 night only jam session featuring Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins at Sun Studio. It was awesome! How amazing would it have been to be in the studio listening to that at it was actually happening? It would be one of the most incredible experiences.
