The movie had an interesting cast. Will Smith, Helen Mirren, Ed Norton, et alii.  I needed tissues at the end of it.  Collateral Beauty. Not stellar, but good enough for me. Usually,  I am better at predicting the ending, but this one caught me off guard. 

Now I am off to find a heating pad for an earache. And, my crown came off of one of my molars this morning. Okay, okay...I was eating a gummy bear. I used to hate those things. Now, I am back to hating them. Along with Payday candy bars (which made me lose a filling).  As the dentist said "I got my money's worth out of that filling."  The crown...not so long.  Hey..it's gold, or a composite of it. Maybe I should take it to the pawn shop and tell the dentist I swallowed it. Things always happen on the week end.

Helen (above) always seems to be unruffled in photographs. I'd like to have a bit more of that demeanor within myself. I'll have to work on that.

Easter 1966

I am the one in yellow.  A co worker and I were on a subject the other day and the subject came up as to what is the largest religion in the world. I thought I had read that Buddhism was. I looked it up. I don't know where I got my information, but according to the Internet - it is Christianity, then Islam and third is irreligion. The others fall after.

I asked "What is irreligion?"  I really didn't know. She didn't either. I looked it up. Oh, it is having NO religion or not believing in any particular religion.

I was brought up Christian. That is why two of my sisters and two of my brothers are all dressed up on Easter morning.

I sat here for a few minutes wondering - what image do I post after all this time away? I decided to look to see what my last image was that I uploaded. It was from April 3rd coming back from a funeral (too many of those lately) where a rock flew up off the Interstate and hit my windshield. Sigh. I notice that the top crack is much longer than this photo depicts. If you can see the little dot it is heading for - that is a chip from a previous hit. I do not know what will happen when they meet up.

It took me a while this morning to remember how to get into my blog. I perused my files searching for login instructions. After a few false leads, it just popped into my head. I had already logged into my gmail account I use - perubee. And once I typed in the blogger address (with the correct welcome to my world) I was in.

I won't give you any lame excuses or reasons as to why I was away for a year or two. And, I am not positive I will post on a regular basis. This is more therapeutic for me than any other reason.


I need to update my header as we have no cats, now. And, I don't plan to get any more. Two male cats that I had were stupendous pets. The other male and the two females were royal pains. We have 3 dogs, the Boxer and the two pups.

I will leave you with a site that I love to use.

www.protopage.com

No matter if I am at work, at home, at a sister's house, working in Columbus or in Indonesia, I can pull up my protopage and all my bookmarks are there neatly categorized into:

tech
linux
education
shopping
art
news

etc....

So far, I only use the Bookmarks widget and the digital clock. I see where I should use the Photo widget, Google calendar, To-do list...

It is free - a wee bit of advertising at the top of the page - you have the option to close that.

I imagine the posts will come regularly as I feel I have a lot to put down on paper or screen.
