transformation

   there comes a time when Change is inevitable whether we want it or not   sometimes we want both, no change & change   this legend is all about change   from Rebel to middle-aged parent   they wrote he was a Zen Master or someone called him that    after seeing his farewell speech from yesterday, i'd say Zen is fitting   he is a tribute to our world   an example we could all live by   he's an inspiration to so many including me   to be your own person, doing it your own way and changing as you grow   sumtimes, or often, we become complacent in life, but this guy never did   never giving up right to the end   i'll remember the tribute they gave him tonite, the commentary    my words here fall way short of who Andre Agassi is    if you get a glimpse of him, do take a peek   you might be moved....

i salute you Andre!   may Life continue to treat you well (and your family too)!

closing...

my first attempt at fireworks    definitely needs sum work here   o well, it was a shot ....the fireworks were taken at the 'topes baseball game tonite   i didn't take too many pics of them   was a bit worn out and i had a screamin woman in my ear   anyways, we won the ballgame and the summer is coming to a close    one more game tomorrow afternoon and the season ends   frankly i'm lookin forward to the seasons ahead   i've already learned i need to bundle up more because of my shoulders and left arm   tenditis and just plain worn out from carrying that mail on my back for the past 5yrs walkin   fortunately i have Vicky my massage therapist and she worked on my shoulders and arm tonite before the game    then we put Tiger Balm on it   O! sooo much better    it was 64degrees at the ballpark and i had my jacket   lil Savanah took her sweatshirt off while i was a lil cool   i'm aging i suppose   i even have another birthday arriving again   regardless wisdom is better than youth i believe   woodn't go back if i could    but anyways, the seasons change and so do i right along with it   so more bundling, layering in warmth for my shoulders   i can handle the sweat easier than the chill...i think?

black eye

well this morn i woke with a black eye   it actually happened just before bedtime    Boo & i bumped heads   i was bending over to pick up a sock, she decided to jump on the bed at that time   Ouch!   she has a very hard head    and she even felt bad   i had to coax her onto the bed after i screamed a little upon the head butting   i don't think i've ever had a black eye from a dog   first time for everything...lol

kewl weather cont'

this is what our day looked like today   just outside my front door   i included all the pics i took of the peak cloud cover & all    sum are good, others not   ....anyways, it's been a great fall day!    now back to my scrapbook    it's slowly coming along, but i'm enjoying the hell out of it:-)!

...and i decided to spend my money on a massage in lieu of the Lobo game tonite   my shoulders need it badly   i'm feelin' it    Vicky will do it just before the 'Topes baseball game tomorrow nite    those tickets already bought months ago,   no cost except for hot dogs & beer    the highlite will be the final fireworks after the game    we're taking Savanah, Vicky's granddaughter with us   i think she just turned 5....

...and my man Andre didn't play tennis today   the whole day at the U.S. Open was wiped out by rain   Ernesto leftovers were drenching the area     i hope he doesn't play while i'm at church tomorrow   i volunteered to assist with passing out class certificates again   o well, Life goes on!

kewl weather

my Boo sits on my lap  i feel her heart beating   the winds blow, the clouds cover the sky   forecast is for rain & 70degree weather   a 10degree drop which is ever sooo niiiiiccccee    fall is just about here   i bring out my sweaters & sweatshirts bundled in their warmth with a nice cup of coffee    yesterday it poured down rain like cats & dogs, i didn't want to attend the Lobo football game today    but now this morn, i have a change of mind, change of spirit   i want to feel the rain  i want to treasure the weather   so most likely i'll be at the game this evening    there will be only one thing, one person stopping me   that wood be Andre Agassi    he won another match @ the U.S. Open   he plays again today   i just don't know the time    he retires after this tournament and i don't want to miss a match   I've always loved Andre ever since he came out in his flashy outfits   his spark, his play, his 'Rebel' self    one of my all time favorite tennis players and i only have a few, not even a handfull    anyways, while i wait for the game, i'm starting on my scrapbook   a creative endeavor which i'd like to do more of   headed out to Hobby Lobby to get my materials   such simple pleasures i can enjoy now   being creative however i can  ...the day is dawning   it awaits me....

Billie Jean King

     remember this legend?   i won't ever forget her    she was my idol in youth   i learned to play tennis because of her   i learned to be assertive in life, aggressive in sports because of her style of play    i'll never forget that match with Bobby Riggs   what a turning point for me   what a turning point for women in sports in life    she appeared very strong back then   she appeared even stronger last nite as i watched her ceremony for the renaming of the Tennis Center at the U.S. Open    wow, how powerful she is    with reflections of myself lately, i wonder if this is where i got my strength   sometimes i'm amazed how strong i am especially after my psychosis and definitely not feeling it    anyways, what an icon Billie Jean is   what an honor bestowed upon her   the first naming of a sports place after a woman   this woman i won't ever forget   she made the Biggest impression on me in my youth than anyone ever did    i salute you Billie Jean King!   my idol!

political

i just read the article pertainin to Katherine Harris, a U.S. Rep   probably republican    anyways, she states in so many words that separation of church and state is a lie   and if you don't elect Christians then we wood be "legislating sin"   now who the hell is she   who is anyone to tell me how to live my life    what is 'right' for an individual is determined by that individual not government or others who condemn and judge    God i hate their self-righteousness whoever displays that either individually or representing a group especially of a spiritual background, i.e. Christians    she needs to go jump in a lake!                http://articles.news.aol.com/news/_a/rep-harris-comments-on-religion-draw/20060826194909990002ke!
