Superbowl XLVI

For the fourth time in my lifetime, the  Giants have made it to the Super Bowl.  I have seen all 46 Super Bowl games.  I did miss the 2nd half of one game in the late 1970s, however.

Anthony's 32nd Birthday

Happy Birthday Son!  January 18, 1980 was a chilly, damp and gray day in New Jersey.  I had been up late the night before rushing to St. Barnabas' Hospital in Livingston for your birth.  Alas you did not wait for  me!  By the time I arrived you had already arrived.

I called my mother collect because in those days, no one had a cell phone and no one carried that much change to feed to the pay phones either.  She was happy to hear about Anthony, but not too happy to accept a collect call.  She was further put out when she asked who you looked like.  The only resemblance I could see was to the old actor, James Cagney. I guess I should have said you looked like her!

Today is also the 6 month anniversary of my morning walks.  I am proud to say that I have not missed a day.  I may have  had a few short walks, but I have not missed a day!

Christmas Lights

I didn't think that I would be able to put up lights this year because of all the work involved in moving and unpacking, but I took some time yesterday to do just that.  It did feel a bit strange to string those lights on the Hibiscus, Bougainvillea, and Oleander though.  The end result was wonderful.  I am glad I took the time to do this.

Beautiful theater: Asolo Repertory Theatre -- a beautiful and talented Liza! and a wonderful production.

"The majesty and grandeur of the English language, it's the greatest possession we have.  The noblest thoughts that ever flowed through the hearts of men are contained in its extraordinary, imaginative, and musical mixtures of sounds." -- Professor Henry Higgins
