Use the force...

I wish the force was a real thing. Then I could just wave my hand and clean my house just by thinking about it. Believe me...I've tried. It just don't work. And it looks silly to stand there waving my hand at a pile of dirty clothes or at a vacuum cleaner. No matter how many times I think "Do, or do not...there is no try," nothing happens. Maybe I'm just too overweight to use the force effectively. I didn't see any fat jedi in any of the movies.

Or maybe it's simply that the force is fiction...hehe.

Yes, it seems we're always cleaning, I know. But we've been whittling down some big cleaning projects that just take a lot of time (and more than one person) to get done.

On the good side of things, Hurricane Charley missed Stacey's parents by turning to the east. It's tragic for Charlotte county, but good news for the Tampa area. If nothing else, this latest hurricane has proven once and for all that weather is anything but predictable, no matter how advanced all the computer models and storm tracking techniques get.

KEY PHRASES: "Don't forget about this little detail of our walk with Christ that necessitates good moral behavior...especially when confronted with 'booty.'" (LOL). "Oh, come on...just buy it." "Let me see...is it a wise thing to loan out a $2000 keyboard to a teenager?"
