I have a headache tonight so my Sunday night Movie post will go up late tomorrow after the Writers’ Group Meeting

I am going out tonight to see Megamind.

I’ll post my thoughts later.

Today I hung out with my Sweetie-wife for the day. We started the day at the World Famous San Diego Zoo. (While I was off have my Vegas Adventure, she had gotten us new memberships at the Zoo.) Sadly my knees were less than stellar and I could only amble around the Zoo for just over an hour.

Afterwards we shopped, had lunch and then returned home for a relaxing day of just the two of us.

Nothing exciting, but the happy little moments that define a happy life.

Conservative columnist and former speech writer to Ronald Reagan, writig to Sarah Palin  on Ronald Reagan.

The point is not “He was a great man and you are a nincompoop,” though that is true.

As I am unwell — but still going to work — here is your Monday Funnies instead of a Sunday Night Movie.

So after the Gun Store I drove over to the Atomic Testing Museum.

This place was very cool. IT took me about 2.5 hours to go through the entire thing and many of the exhibits were very informative. They had mock-ups of shells from both Atomic Annie and A Davie Crockett.

I also learned more of what JFK called for when he called for the USA to send a man to the moon and return him safely to earth. That was point 1 of his vision for space. The very next point was accelerating development of a nuclear rocket.

(chemical rockets are very limited. If you really want to scoot around our solar system, nuclear is the way to go.)

It’s a shame all anyone remembers is the decade to get to the moon.

I was at the writers group meeting. I will post tomorrow.

I am back from Las Vegas. Very tired, will post pics and commentary later.

(yeah, there was no way I could avoid that pun.)

I’m back from the Sheena Easton concert. It was worth the 5 hour drive in my opinion, and mine is the only that matters on the subject.  I will post more when I get home and try to find decent photo to upload. Short treatment.

She still has her voice.

She still has her impish sense of humor.

She had fun and was very interactive with the audience.

I’m quite happy I made this trip.

Before the show, I was bored to tears because I had arrived too early. So even after gorging myself at the buffet, (ahh that was good Prime Rib.) I had too  much time to kill. I bought chips and joined a blackjack game. (I was not going to finger fate in the eye again with craps and I can count to 21.) Same routine as before, any winnings I set aside and when the stake was gone I was done. That carried me through until the Showroom opened up. Final tally at blackjack — won $10.

Total gambling winnings/losses — $63. Way ahead of the odds for this old boy.
