I HAVE BEEN TERRIBLY SICK........

Hello Dear World......

How are you these days ? Well first things first. I know that you haven't heard from me in a while and I will explain why. Over the weekend I was hit by a rather terrible cold that has kept me medicated, covered in cold rubs and in bed. I am sorry for not being able to come and visit with you in a while so please do forgive me. I am working on getting better but it might take me a while to get back to my old self again. I can say that the common cold should be considered a very dangerous biological weapon.

On a different note someone by the name of Loststream from Las Vegas, Nevada has been dropping by my journal which I just found out since I was unable to come and visit with you which I really would like to thank this person and the so many others of you who come by and offer me kind words, wonderful comments and your gifts of friendship which mean so much to me more than any of you will ever know. Thank You All For This And More......YOU ARE ALL SO VERY DEAR TO ME. Your many words are appreciated so thanks again for all of your friendship.

Anyway.......In recent news Boulder Colorado prosecutors abruptly dropped their case against John Mark Karr on Monday just an hour before he was supposed to appear in court in the killing of JonBenet Ramsey. The Boulder District Attorney's Office said Karr's DNA did NOT match the male DNA found at the scene of the death of 6-year-old JonBenet. Karr told authorities he had killed JonBenet which led to his arrest on August 16th. Well dear world do you think anyone will ever find out who killed JonBenet ???? I just don't know. I just don't know.

Of course it was another hot day in Atlanta, Georgia it was probably 110 degrees or higher. I'm definitely longing for Winter. I am sad to report that I heard on the news that a hurricane watch was issued Sunday for the Florida Keys and Gov. Jeb Bush ordered a state of emergency in anticipation of a Tropical Storm named Ernesto. Its weird the only thing that I think should be named Ernesto is a guy that loves to teach Latin Dancing..........I'm just saying.

By the way.......Earlier today I finished reading a book titled "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" written by Stephen King. The story was about this nine-year-old girl named Trisha McFarland who gets lost on a six-mile hike on the Maine-New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail. For solace she tunes to her walkman to broadcasts of Boston Red Sox Baseball games and she follows the performances of her much beloved hero who was a relief pitcher. His names was Tom Gordon. Trisha in the book imagines that Tom Gordon is with her protecing her in the woods where she was lost. I myself found the book hard because it went on and on and on and on. I also wish there hadn't been as much reference to Baseball in the book. I have to say that I was quite filled with the urge to jump into the story and rescue Trisha myself so the story could have ended quicker. Don't get me wrong I am a fan of Stephen King's books but "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" just wasn't one of my favorites.

Anyway......Thanks for listening dear word.

Good-Night
