“Be not the slave of your own past. Plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep and swim far, so you shall come back with self-respect, with new power, with an advanced experience that shall explain and overlook the old.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Law and Order
Ever wonder who actually watches those various versions of
Law and Order re-runs?
I am one of them.
I never tire of courtroom drama.
My fantasy about being a trial attorney stems from my father's profession.
I've always loved how this photo of him snapped in court--captures the very essence of his flair for the dramatic.
Whether he is playing the guitar, the piano or singing with his eyes closed with tears streaming down his cheeks for emphasis...he is always entertaining.
Almost two years ago, it took him FOUR months to recover from quadruple by-pass surgery. When my father-in-law took only four DAYS to recover from the same surgery, my father sent word:
"Please tell your father-in-law to quit recovering so quickly...its making me look bad."
My dad turns 78 today.
With the help of my mother (Law and Order: Special Diet Unit),
he has been eating much healthier.
Keep it up, Dad-- may you continue to fill our lives with joy.
Happy Birthday.
