I've so much to do online and better get on with that. I have been writing in my handwritten journal. But I have several entries to post so will work on that. I did email political columnist Michelle Malkin today. I doubt she will respond though. Everyone I've emailed this week has replied so maybe I am wrong on this one. Which reminds me I need to write Mario Cuomo, Robert Reich, & Joanne Freeman. As well as mail a package to Carl in England. On a good note my brother who is ornery about talking politics, has been open as of late and agreeable.

Here are a few other things on my wishlist(click each):

I want a Ford Model A!

One day I will go to the middle east to photograph and write about what is going on there first hand.

Seeing a woman in complete and utter terror like that, yurinating on herself due to fear is appauling...

I have family in England and would love to go see next summer, I promised Carl if I came I would go see him too..

It's not a matter of if I am going, but when.

One day I will return to the beautiful Maltese islands. It is where I want to live one day one the island of Gozo.

with open eyes, to make it possible."--T.E. Lawrence

These song lyrics I dedicate To Georgina, I think of her often:

Patti Smith "Dream Of Life"

Na na na na na
Na na na na na

I'm with you always
You're ever on my mind
In a light to last a whole life through
Each way I turn
the sense of you surrounds
in every step I take
In all I do
Your thoughts your schemes
captivate my dreams
Everlasting, ever new

Sea returns to sea
And sky to sky
In a life of dream am I
When I'm with you

Deep in my heart
How the presence of you shines
In a light to last a whole life through
I recall the wonder of it all
Each dream of life I'll share with you

Sea returns to sea
And sky to sky
In a life of dream am I
When I'm with you

I'm with you always
You're ever on my mind
In a light to last a whole life through
The hand above
turns those leaves of love All and all a timeless view Each dream of life
Flung from paradise
Everlasting, ever new

Dream of Life
Dream Of Life
