Nuns in the Sun

Is it because of the success of The March of the Penguins that nuns are so popular right now? Ok, bad joke but I'm serious. Tonight on PBS is a special on The Cheese Nun which I doubt will be as good as a Sister Wendy special but I'll probably watch it anyway since the donkeyholes at ABC took off my Boston Legal. While Christmas shopping last week, I saw a calendar I think was titled "Nuns Having Fun;" the cover had nuns frolicking at the beach. I am not making this up.

In addition, it, coincidently, was paleontologist Richard Leakey's birthday yesterday which reminded me of my Science Concepts class at St. Joe's with Sister Eunice and the day she said, "Richard Leakey was in a plane crash and lost two of his legs!" I still don't know how many he had...

This quiz result may actually make sense if we make it a given cats are of this religion as has been postulated:






Buddhist
Holy Crap! You're taking -5 souls with you to hell!
-20 to 10

On the Plus side: You choose not to speculate on the existence of a higher consciousness. You seek contentment and spiritual awareness. The answer lies within. Not by transferring responsibility to a Messiah or holy figure. You're probably easy going and inoffensive

On the negative side: In your quest for a balanced content life also you probably miss out on the full range of human emotion. So you're probably content and boring.

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
