If I put in some text maybe the photo will show up on the home page. Let’s see.

Nope.

Read about this movie in our local paper and will go see it next week. Based on the book of the same title.  The trailer looks good: http://www.ridethethundermovie.com/. It’s about time, too.

I take my dad for a pedicure at a Vietnamese owned nail salon. Once, Judy asked if Dad is a veteran. He is but did not serve in Vietnam (although he once told me that he had been on a supply ship for the transports taking people to the south).
