• My mom turns 74 today.  A few weeks ago, my dad turned 76.  Both of my parents are Libras.  My brother and I are Geminis.  I think my parents had a mating season-eww.

• Last night I got distracted on  Youtube  while looking for other information.  I got trapped in a “Youtube vortex” and watched a video on Youtube of Vin Scully’s call of Kirk Gibson’s 1988 World Series home run for the Dodgers.  The combination of Scully’s voice, Gibson pumping his fists in the air as he rounded the bases, and the roar of the crowd gave me chills.  I remember watching it on T.V. when I was 16 and my dad was freaking out.

• I’m trying to like the color we painted our house-but I still think it’s too light.  It looked darker on the small square we painting on the wall.  We’ll figure out soon how badly I want it repainted.  I really thought I picked a dark enough color.   For a woman that was called half human/half crayon by an anonymous relative, my mediocre color selection is an expensive fall from grace.
