    Amy Winehouse

    Back in the late 60s Rock Stars like Janis Joplin didn't make the mega bucks that todays stars bring in. Also recovery centers for drug addiction were few and far between. Janis didn't have the opportunities for treatment for her drug addiction that Amy Winehouse has thrown away.

    Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

    We always wonder whether the movies will do justice to our imaginations. Sadly the answer is usually no, but hope springs eternal. My opinion is that as each Harry Potter book has gotten longer more plot and detail has been cut or changed in the movies.

    Loungers' Pets

    So sad when we lose one of our furry friends. Their lives are briefer then our own but still burn bright in our hearts. My beloved Meme has been gone for almost 12 years and while I love her replacement I still miss the quiet chirp meow that she'd greet me with mourning.
