...and I have been very slack in my posting. I haven't quit blogging, I've just been distracted a lot lately.
My mom has been getting some cataracts taken care of, so my brother and I have been taking her to surgery and follow-ups, and helping her do her shopping and errands since she is presently unable to drive, and also has a bit of trouble getting around at times. That's what family does, it takes care and supports one another.
The weather has been playing merry hell with my arthritis; most of the time the temperature has been in the eighties, but at times it cools down and we get snow in the mountains and rain here in the valley. When that happens, the arthritis in my back, knee, and shoulder starts bitching and whining and throbbing until the air pressures settle down. The joys of growing old. I'd like to find the asshole who named them "The Golden Years" and bitch-slap him into next Tuesday. This morning I got a gout flareup, but luckily had some pills for it and was able to chase it away. I had to go to the doctor a bit ago since a couple of days ago my right leg started hurting, got hot, and has a bright red rash on it. The doctor confirmed what I thought: cellulitis. The antibiotics should take care of it in a few days, though I understand that lately some of the staph infections (cellulitis is a type of staphylococcus) have been becoming resistant to many modern drugs, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Still having bad insomnia, which is jacking around my blood sugar something fierce some mornings, and partly explains my attitude while writing this; hopefully I'll be in a better mood when I next post, and will do it a lot sooner.
But enough of whining about my problems.

Re: The Zimmerman case.
Will everybody just sit down and STFU until all the facts are out?
Thank you.

Some of these should be familiar.
"Li'l Red Riding Hood" by Sam the Sham & the Pharaohs
"Evil Woman" by Electric Light Orchestra
"I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
"Mary's Vineyard" by Claude King
"Scarborough Fair/Canticle" by Simon & Garfunkel
"Sometimes in Winter" by Blood, Sweat & Tears
"Devil Woman" by Cliff Richard
"Hold Me Now" by Thompson Twins
"Rebel Yell" by Billy Idol
"Cry Me A River" by Cote de Pablo
This song was one that I remember Tom Petty playing the night of 9/11; I tend to associate it with that since.
I remember when this song came out; I was a student in college. It brings up a lot of personal memories for me.
For those who watch NCIS, this is Cote de Pable (Ziva). She is an accomplished singer.
