DWTS and stuff
Although I really, really want a woman to win this year's DWTS, and I think Kristi will take the title...I still love watching Jason. And I was thrilled tonight to see Zach Thomas in the audience. I'm sooooo going to miss him playing for the Dolphins. Both Zach and Jason deserve a Super Bowl ring. My one problem is Zach went with the Cowboys, and I've never been a Cowboy fan, especially with their current quarterback. But I will cheer for Zach except for when he plays the Dolphins.
I had a busy weekend. First off was my writing chapter's meeting on Saturday. Author Mary Stella gave a great talk on the news out of the Novelists, INC conference. Then for Mother's Day, I went to dinner with my friend Diane and her mother. Good weekend, just hotter than Hades. The weather guys are saying a cold front is coming in tonight, so I hope they are right. That ocean is warming all too quickly, which could mean for a very long hurricane season.

Possible sighting of the Boca Mall killer
Ever since the slayings of the mother and her daughter at the Boca Raton mall, we've all been waiting with dread for the killer to re-emerge. Since it appears he's struck before, most have not doubted he would strike again.
An anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers that a man resembling the suspected killer was at the Aventura Mall has turned out to be downright creepy. The mall's surveillance video shows a grainy image of a man wearing the floppy hat, sunglasses and ponytail as he follows a woman and her daughter. Brrr....
The local NBC station ran a segment of how a woman can protect herself while grocery shopping, so here's the link to the story in the hopes it provides useful tips. Carol

Ironman
Color me happy that the winter 'drama' season at the movies is drawing to a close. The action/adventure summer season is upon us, and boy, did it start with a bang! I saw "Ironman" over the weekend and loved it! I thought the ending was a tad weak, but overall, great flick. I never looked once at my watch. Everyone at the office who also saw it gave it a 'two thumbs' up.
We were all cheering for Robert Downey, Jr. to have a major hit, and he's got it. He muscled up well...maybe he got pointers from Jason Taylor.
***Side bar: check out Jason's picture in People's 100 Most Beautiful People. Talk about a living Adonis!***
But hurray for Robert Downey and Ironman! Now on to the next Chronicles of Narnia and then to my most anticipated movie: Indiana Jones! :) Carol

Balancing on time's tightrope
I have to admit, there are not enough hours in the day for me right now. Within the next month I have two trials plus the normal workload. I come home, really dragging. Here and there I have moments of moral victory and get a little writing done. In fact, two weekends ago I had planned to go back to the family room makeover when the urban fantasy that I've been mulling over for some time decided it was ready to be born. I wrote the first chapter over the course of a Sunday. Since then I've written another 1/2 chapter. Not much, granted, but I keep eeking out a line here and a line there.
On the nights I come home, stewing over the work day, then I chip away at the family room. I'm hoping to take a 4-day Memorial Day weekend to knock out stripping off the carpet and then laying the tile. But I'm also hoping to finish the urban fantasy proposal as I just love, love, love the story so that may be the winner in terms of time. I once wrote in my high school senior yearbook that I needed a 48-hour day...still need it. :) Carol

AI/Neil Diamond
I remember when I was in college how thrilled I was to go see Neil Diamond live in concert. In total I saw him three times. Loved every show and always yelled my head off when he sang "Sweet Caroline."
Well, Neil and I are a lot older now, but he still can cut a few moves and I enjoyed seeing him on AI. I was soooo happy that Archie sang 'Sweet Caroline'; I had lived in dread that Jason Castro would warble his way through it.
But I was sad to see Brooke go, but I did 'text' in my votes for her so I did my part. Now I'll have to throw a few Syesha's way since I so want Jason to go bye-bye.

Oh Dolphins Management...
Were you watching Jason Taylor tonight? He wore Dolphins' colors to the Monday Night Football theme music.
Would you all quit jerking around and make sure Jason stays a Dolphin until he retires? We need him. Nothing but nothing that you can put together from that weekend trade can ever measure up to the caliber defensive end that Jason is.

Riverdance
Several years ago I saw Riverdance [I th at the Kravitz and loved, loved, loved it. I always thrilled to tap dance more than any other form of dancing. Tonight seeing Riverdance on DWTS was a pure joy. I understand regretably they're on their farewell tour but what an impact the production has had. :) Carol
AI
When I heard that tonight was Andrew Lloyd Webber night, I shuddered. I knew that the contestants wouldn't be able to resist singing songs from Phantom and in particular, 'Music of the Night'. I was right and I shuddered again tonight.
'Music of the Night' belongs to Michael Crawford and Michael Crawford alone. While I enjoyed the movie because...let's face it...Gerard Butler is smoldering in any role, vocally he was not the greatest.
The big voices--Syesha and Carly--faired the best and I still love David A. I suspect the bye-bye will be said to either Brooke [she's an adorable personality, and I would miss her] or Jason.
Hopefully, next week's theme will be kinder. :) Carol
