OMG!™


.
I have two, that's right, two birthday parties to attend today.
.
I love parties, but I fast during Lent and it makes party-going a bit of a challenge. About fifteen years ago, a spiritual adviser explained that a Lenten fast is meant as a spiritual journey, not an inconvenience for others. It's been a humbling journey to learn to balance my plans with the reality of living on a planet with billions of other people. Do you have balance in your life?
.
Partly cloudy skies this morning will become overcast during the afternoon. High around 50F. Winds SW at 5 to 10 mph. Tonight, a few showers with overcast skies overnight. Low 36F. Winds SSW at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of rain 30%.
.
How do you balance your desire to go outside with the vagaries of the weather?
.
Please send birthday greetings to:
.
Albert Einstein
.
Les Brown
.
Hank Ketcham
.
Michael Caine
.
Quincy Jones
.
Billy Crystal
.
Kirby Puckett
.
Taylor Hanson
.
Have you seen "Insignificance"? Directed by Nicolas Roeg, and starring Theresa Russell, Gary Busey, and Tony Curtis, it is a fictitious story about the lives of Albert Einstein, Joe DiMaggio, Joe McCarthy, and Marilyn Monroe intersecting. It's my favorite movie about Albert Einstein.

Anka Hoops is my most recently added friend at Facebook. Who is yours?
