New car on Aug 11, 2012

The time has come to convert my lease to a purchase and buy a new car.  Here it is, a new, 2012 Honda Accord EXL V6 with Navigation in Florida colors!  Simply beautiful!!!

Butterfly Days

One year anniversary!

Today is July 18, 2012.  It is exactly one year ago to the day that I began my practice of taking a morning walk.  I am happy to say that I have not missed a single day in this practice.  I have gone out every day, rain or shine and walked.  I have had some walks that were somewhat shorter, but I usually walk from three quarters to a full mile each day.

Contrary to what I have been told, it does nothing for losing weight.  Yet, I stick to it, and I wonder if I will make a similar posting on July 18, 2013???

Aphelion

Today is Aphelion, the day the Earth is farthest from the sun.  I know that you can not wait until Perihelion!

Happy Birthday USA! Happy Birthday Vincent!

Today I have begun preparations for my 67th orbit of the sun. Having completed 66, I can tell you its been quite a ride. I have traveled over 39 billion miles on Spaceship Earth so far. It is so wonderful to be alive! This is starting off to be a wonderful year.
