The Seven Deadly Sins Quiz

One day at a time......

As I was walking home from the grocers today; reflecting on 2005 and what a devastating year it has been with the death of JR on March 21, 2005....... I kept repeating to myself "one day at a time", "one day at a time", "one day at a time".

I've also been thinking of how, when I heard the news of the suicide last week of James Dungy, son of my favorite football coach Tony Dungy (formerly coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers) coach of the Indianapolis Colts. After the initial shock upon hearing of James' death passed, my next thought was for Tony Dungy and how his deep religious faith would somehow help him get thru this tragedy.

I, on the other hand believe that death is final and therefore, continue to have a difficult time accepting JR's death. "One day at a time", "one day at a time", I kept repeating until suddenly, a beautiful butterfly flew past me and began dancing from branch to branch on a nearby bush. As I turned the corner going into my yard. I began to smile and somehow thought, this might just be a sign. A sign that somehow, things will be fine... Maybe soon.

Maybe in 2006!

They're here..........

There are disadvantages to living in a resort area, especially within walking distance to a beach......... especially in the winter, in Florida.

The snowbirds have arrived!

Driving the local roads for the next three months will be unbearable. This will be most evident in the evenings, just as we try to get home from a day of work. It's "early bird special" time in local restaurants, and damn how they love those early bird specials.

It will be easy to spot them. The ones with the tans, stopping by the local Hess station to purchase gasoline, and whatever....... 300 pounds of woman stuffed into a two piece bathing suit walking in barefoot while the locals are wearing sweaters, jackets, hats and gloves attempting to stay warm in this misreable 68 degree weather.

Accidents will increase as they become lost, disoriented, or in many cases are simply much too old to be driving. (true snowbirds usually stay in Florida for between 3 to 6 months and are therefore retired and ages range from 65-95).

Mix all of the above with those here on vacation (1-2 weeks) who really have no clue where they're going, and those here for Spring Break who spend the entire week drunk, and it's easy to understand how happy we are when Easter comes along and the exodus back to the north begins.

DON'T GET MAD, GET EVEN!

"WHAT, ME PISSED OFF?"

This is your chance to show the American Family Association that they cannot dictate what products we buy, what places we visit and most recently what television programs we watch.

The American Family Association has decided to begin the new year by urging its members to flood NBC with letters denouncing the network's new series "The Book of Daniel" which will feature primetime's only openly gay male character in a new show.

The series is planned to debut January 6 at 9:00 pm E/P time.

"The Book of Daniel" stars Aidan Quinn as the Reverend Daniel Webster an unconventional Episcopalian minister who not only believes in Jesus - he actually sees him and discusses life with him.

His children include Peter (Christian Campbell), a 23-year-old gay son.

Focusing on the Gay character, the American Family Association, as close-minded as it is, seems to find the behaviors of the other characters acceptable. This would include the following:

Webster's daughter Grace, is 16-year-old daughter who just happens to be a drug dealer. Then there's the 16-year-old adopted son who is having sex with the bishop's daughter, Webster's wife who is "addicted to martinis", and Webster's secretary a lesbian who is sleeping with his sister-in-law.

Further angering the AFA is Jack Kenny, the show's writer, who also is openly gay.

The group is urging its members to write to NBC Chairman Bob Wright to voice their disapproval; warning Wright that the organization may target the show's advertisers.

My suggestion, tune in and watch this show. Ask your family, friends, business associates, whoever you can think of, to watch this show. Begin the new year by doing the right thing. Do not allow left wing conservative groups to dictate your life!

Better still, E-Mail NBC Chairman Bob Wright at nbcshows@nbc.com and let him know that NBC must not allow the American Family Association to dictate what you watch on television!
