Since I posted on this blog last....

Patrick Swayze has passed away. I was hoping he would beat his illness, but a good way to look at it is this: God missed him, and wanted him home so he wouldn't be in any more pain. I remember when my husband and I saw him on "The Barbara Walters Special" with his lovely wife, Lisa. My heart goes out to her. One of the hardest things anyone can go through is the death of your spouse. Another hard thing to go through is a divorce. Been thru the divorce thing already(which truly sucks big time, if you get my drift). If I lost my husband, I would be absolutely beside myself, and that, my friends, is an understatement. Rest in Peace, Patrick.

I have only seen three of Patrick's movies: "The Outsiders"(5 stars), "Roadhouse"(5 stars), and "Dirty Dancing"(5 stars). Which one did I like the best? The answer is easy: "Roadhouse". Why? The answer is easy to that as well: Sam Elliott and Patrick Swayze looked TOO HOT. Macho Tough Guys Meet Mean Guys, and The Macho Tough Guys Win. :) Just ask my husband, I love happy endings.

Mary Travers Of Peter, Paul & Mary passed away last week, as well as Henry Gibson, who was a very fine actor. Mary's death was a shock, and my favorite song is "If I Had A Hammer". Now, mind you, at the risk of sounding like a nerd, Trini Lopez's version was good too, but PP&M's version rules.

Henry Gibson played a Nazi in "The Blues Brothers", which is another movie favorite of mine. I had to remind my husband that he was on "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In" too, so Henry had been in the acting business for a very long time. Rest in peace, Henry and Mary.

Tomorrow is the first day of Fall. Am I happy about it? Not really. I hate Fall and Winter. I'm a Summer type of chick. I'll probably feel more welcoming to the weather change when the leaves start changing from green to all of those pretty colors. And I must admit, I do like the way things look when there is new snow on the ground. It looks very pretty.

That's all for now. Have a great night. JA
