my inbox is full of pm I have to figure out how to download the messages.

Love New Mexico drove up and down new mexico for years, but never got to see it up close and personal except when I stopped my truck to get out and stretch my legs. One of the places I would like to get back to and explore.

I got to lighten up. I am going to goodwill today to donate a bunch of stuff because Isabella going to need as much room here as we can give her.

So much stuff. I came to texas with a trunk load of stuff and now I got tons of it. Well I want to write more but the day is getting away from me already. 7:30 Am and it is going to go up to 95 today, spring is over here. No one goes out in the mid day sun except for englismen and gringos

I wish it was November, I wish the election season was over. In France the whole thing takes about two weeks, two weeks of campaigning and the people vote. Over with and done with it. Man I wish I could vote in France instead of this dog and pony show we got.

I try to lighten the load around here and donate a lot of items and I do, I donate items like towels, blankets to the animal shelter and clothing plus knickknacks to the Vets, but I still am a bit of an 'allower', because I don't make my children do the same. They have too muchly the stuffs and I never meddle in their keeping it, so basically we still have too much stuffs.

Last weekend I donated towels to the animal shelter and my son grabbed the towel with an embroidered dog on it and said, "I've had this towel all of my life, you can't give it away." And then proceeded to hide it in the glove-box of the car. Sigh, how can I disturb that.

My daughter has a giant painted paper mache Saturn planet in the tiny bedroom that she made for a project over a year ago. Oh man! the clean lines are no where to bees found. ha ha.

Have fun with making space for isabella rose and let her fill that space with all her ideas, arts, projects and more, Jack. It'll make you smiles.

I am working on the theory that I accumulated all this stuff the past six years because I wanted to feel settled, that I was not a human tumbleweed drifting in the wind. Most of the junk, 90 % of it has been accumulated in the past six years.

Livin' on the road, my friend

Was gonna keep us free and clean

She is about 18 months old now and I been wondering if she is too young to read to, I would like to pick up a few books to read to her. Any suggestions or advice would be most welcome.

Well, always go for books that have good word sounds, sing-song and rhyme, because to infants it is most memorable to hear the sounds and not really the information, it doesn't even have to make a bit of sense at all...just sounds delicious on the tongue.

Dr. Seuss, Nursery rhymes are perfect introductory books for young ones and Good Night moon, Eric Carl, for the illustrations because the sight of a picture is good too.

Winnie the Pooh and fairy tales would come up in about a year.
Start planning now.

Get to singing those nursery rhymes, like My Daddy went a hunting to get a rabbit skin to wrap my baby button in and Momma's (or the Papas) gonna buy you a mocking bird and if that mocking bird won't sing...gonna buy you a diamond ring...The itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout...Alice the camel had five humps.

thanks for the info,

Trebek in person is not just a host, the hollow vessel for a cultural entity, but a regular guy with joint pain and a sweet tooth.

The show runs like clockwork. As it should. It’s been the same for generations. As has Trebek’s job, though his mind seems more adrift. Or free. Free enough to realize that even though he’s been lodged behind a lectern for 28 years, with all the questions in front of him, he’ll know neither his true place in the cosmos nor the answers to everything.

“I don’t think we ever figure it out,” Trebek says. “Some people can tell you, ‘Oh, I figured it out.’ Oh yeah? Good for you. But my life has been a quest for knowledge and understanding and I am nowhere near having achieved that. And it doesn’t bother me in the least. I will die without having come up with the answers to many things in life.”

So he creates, on a soundstage, a safe Trebekian world where everyone is competitive but kind, where the only politics is a category of honest-to-goodness facts, where we pursue knowledge for the sake of knowledge, where he keeps America off thin ice, at least for 30 minutes every weekday night.
