One month down

Janaury is almost over, most of my bills are paid, and we are about to enter the worst month of the year. Febraury has been a bad month for me for a long time. When I was a kid this is when everyone in the family died. No, not really, but it seemed like it from a kid's point of view. Bad weather, and a death in the family was almost all Febraury seemed to represent. But at least it was the shortest month and once it was over, things start to look up. Spring will be coming and all the re-birth feelings with it.

My sister's birthday is Jan. 31. I will be calling her sometime in the next few days. And I can try to set up sometime this summer to visit with her. I haven't visited with her (other than over the phone or e-mail) since her husband died a couple of years ago. Too many other things happening to make the trip. But this year, I am changing things. Must see her and actually take vacation time that involves more than a two day sales pitch (that we bought into anyway!) Must take a week off a couple of times this year and actually go somewhere just for fun.

So it's a new year and it has started out with some great things happening over on the A Dog's Breakfast movie site! First David announces that he and his girlfriend Jane are engaged (which is ALL the chatter amongst the squirrels!) and now it's been - well, talked about on the forums - that he has created a new TV series to be shown on the Sci-Fi Channel. Watch for Starcrossed. It will be great!

So, yesterday was my brother Roy's birthday. He turned 47. I gues I hope he had a good day. Since he and I don't really talk, it's hard for me to say. (Long story there)

Anyway, I hope everyone has had a good start for the year. May your weather be mild, your bills low and your income high! And check out the link at the right for A Dog's Breakfast movie. It's headed your way thanks to MGM!
