Time to share your skies, the beauty over your world, the clouds, the colors! Sky Watch is hosted each week by  the Sky Watch team of  Sandy and I. And this week as every week, we remember Klaus and know that he joins us in spirit!

 And so the new year is here and so is WINTER!!  I can't complain as we've had some beautiful sunny days, chilly, but beautiful. I'm not sure how long before the rain returns and colder temps, but I'll enjoy what we have for now!! Hope all of you have a great weekend!

Evening, Wisdom and Beauty!!

The poetry of the earth is never dead.  John Keats

Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.  Lao Tzu

Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind.

A Guy Fairy Tale!

 Once upon a time, a Prince asked a beautiful Princess... Will you marry me?
The Princess said, NO!    
And the Prince lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles
And went fishing and hunting and played golf
And dated women half his age and drank beer and scotch
And had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up.
The End

What Can I Say?

What Can I Say?
I'm interested in almost everything. Use to like to travel, but it's too expensive now. I take Tai Chi classes, swim, volunteer in a Jump-start program for pre-schoolers. I'm an avid reader and like nearly everyone these days I follow politics avidly. I'm a former teacher and Special Projects Coordinator for a Telecommunications company, Assistant to the President of a Japanese silicon wafer manufacturing company. Am now enjoying retirement -- most of the time. I have two daughters, one son-in-law and two sons scattered all over the country. No grandchildren.
