Car
Rochester, NY 12:46 AM My car did not start today. My heart pressure did not skyrocket and I did not curse the car, I just called the dealer who told me to call roadside assistance. It is funny how a warranty will set you at ease. They arrived in 45 minutes and I had a loaner within another 60. It turns out it is an oxygen sensor, which is under warranty. Cars always present unexpected things. The sensor shut it down, but with a little patience, I’ll be back up and running soon. That car has treated me right. Now I wait for a part to come in from California and drive a Tucson....

Rochester, NY 2:06 PM When you are in upstate NY and it is the end of November, you do what you can to get outside. When it is 68 degrees with no wind, you have to go out, even if there is work to be done. I’m tinkering with the format of the book. This has caused some stress, but a walk on the beach after lunch has calmed me down. The sea gulls are still here. And there are geese still floating on the water. So it’s not winter yet.

8:28 PM I just got done watching the hot off the press video of my sister’s wedding from August. It brought chills to my neck and I must admit, some misting of the eyes. It is a two hour movie where I am part of the supporting cast. I can’t imagine what it must be like for the two stars to see their life, their day, their family, and their friends all in one sitting. I am no marriage expert, but I think all couples should have a yearly tradition of getting out what ever wedding memories you have (photo album, old 8 track, VHS tape, or DVD) and cue it up. Relive your movie…

12:52 AM I wanted to talk about this, but not in the same document as my sister’s wedding. On the road and in my life, I’ve met people whose movie hasn’t proceeded exactly like a fairy tale. Heaven has come early for spouses. Divorce is a part of life for many. With that being said, one of my interview subjects who I respect incredibly said one of his three keys to happiness was being in a relationship. He had been widowed, grieved, and found another love. Others have had to battle through the anguish and questioning of a divorce. However the loss occurred, the biggest thing...

Your Mind 2:28 PM I just watched a movie that has been generating quite a buzz. And not on E! or Entertainment Tonight. This movie is about the Law of Attraction and the power in each of us. If you want more out of your life, I truly believe this movie can help. The Secret is 90 minutes, costs $4.95, and is viewed on the web. Watch with a pen and paper. I pass on the link because it was passed on to me. Enjoy. The Secret And Happy Thanksgiving to you.
