Two new happenings are almost upon us ........

Short, Animoto Video - just to set the tone and mood (swing)!



Yep! 2 things are about to happen .....

First off, Sally and I are going to be celebrating our 28th anniversity this coming weekend. That's a long time, especially in dog house years, not that I've been there the entire time mind you. But it's still quite a long spell. Maybe we'll party at the 30th mark, but this year we're staying low key. Maybe rent a DVD, pop some popcorn, arm wrestle for the remote. But it's been an eventful 28 years, filled with lots of experiences, travels (lots of travels), and the love and respect that only a relationship that has lasted can endure. Something tells me she's a keeper.

For those of you who know us, you know it's actually been longer than 28 years, but who's counting. I hope that Linda White's prophetic comment that long ago Sunday night in Mancino's still holds true.

Secondly, the Fall Migration is coming up in September, or Fall SOS. We'll be there, of course, especially for Fun Sunday and Fun Monday. Should be a real hoot this year. More on that later, or just check it out at http://www.shagdance.com/.

Well, no more banner planes have fallen from the sky, so we're pretty much back to normal. If you missed our original "man on the scene" video report of the first unscheduled ocean landing, you can catch it HERE, or on www.YouTube.com/shagmiser. It's in there somewhere. Search on rudyboo.

Here's something I found interesting ..................
You know you are living in 2008 when...
1. You accidentally enter your PIN on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of three.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't even have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :)
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. Even worse, you know exactly to whom you are going to forward this message.
14. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
15. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list.
