NEARING THE FINISH LINE
Good morning morning... Wowzer slept in this morning!
Felt great... bone crushing, drool on the pillow, sleep too.
Coffee poured, dogs barking me awake now, UP
GET UP AND STOMP they say!
Ok, OK, I'm UP
Ready to STOMP

Sleep well?
I can't believe a year has passed... Michael Jackson died a year ago yesterday... and the press is still feeding, the greed mongers still chasing him.
Aren't his children beautiful?
Dance in the lights Michael, Dance on the stars with your musical brilliance baby boy... play in the galaxies and trust your Mom will care for your most precious children here, keeping them safe from the press best she can.
We continue to be blessed by the music, the passion, the beat... Sure wish I could bust a move like Michael!
Maybe that will be my exercise today ~
DRatz... just remembered... Ellen De didn't call yesterday... maybe she just bought her own plane and is on her way now? Reckon?
It's HURRICANE SEASON... Again they are predicting a rough one... they do predict that each year you know.
I hear that our first named storm ALEX may now threaten our CAR WASH... and the oil spill? OIL spill... speaking of that, think it's time we change that name don't you?
I can't help but think of a kid spilling his milk and someone using a "bounty towel" to clean it up when I think of a "spill"....
Think it's time to change that name.
Yep... time to get real with that name is what I'm thinking. WHOEVER THOUGHT OF "OIL SPILL" anyways? Probably BP.. remember spill =Bounty to the rescue... this is NOT a spill...
A man who made his living shrimping I believe left a lengthy suicide note and followed through completing suicide last night in Alabama. Did you know that BP?
Are you going to the memorial service?
HOW are you going to compensate the family on that one? Just wondering...
So... we've got our first named storm of the year goin on,
Alex
and it's threatening to "rain on our parade"!

WASHING OUT MS
Yep we will be doin that all right
So what if it rains... makes it easier for us to bust those suds... right? Cars will already be wet and we just have to add elbow grease and a little soap!
Ever meet those kind of people or circumstances or moments who try to rain on your parades?
DO NOT LET THEM...
Speaking of today... today my friend Ali Legrand is in South Carolina Pouring for the Shore with a fun-Raiser for our Gulf. I wish her all the best in raising dough and supplies for all the volunteers there. Please be careful my friends, wear this year's beach fashions with flair:
RUBBER GLOVES, YELLOW AND WHITE HAZMAT SUITS, GOGGLES, RESPERATORS, MASKS, HEAVY DUTY GARBAGE BAGS (TO PICK UP GLOBS OF OIL (compliments of Tony Hayward, send thanky cards), shovels, rakes, drink plenty of H20).. You probably won't need sun tan lotion since most of you will be covered up though...
WISHING YOU A SUCCESSFUL FUN RAISER FOR OUR GULF AND APPRECIATE ALL YOU ALL ARE DOING THERE.
So my friends, today's thoughts will be short and to the point.
Concentrate your energies to keep Alex out of our waters... so that the storms will not gather and send the 'OIL GUSH' to our shores and stop PHoney Baloney from their work at stopping the GUSH.
Speaking of BP... where are our Navy Seals in this operation? After all our Navy Seals are pretty remarkable folks... Brave, honorable, genius in their skills and undertakings... Haven't heard that they are there.
Bring on the Navy Seals, The Marines, The WOMEN too.
IT'S OUR PARADE... YOUR PARADE... YOUR DAY TODAY...
Enjoy each breath, each experience, each moment.
DO NOT LET ANYONE RAIN ON YOUR PARADE EVER.
Got this email yesterday, going to share it with you.

A woman was at her hairdresser's getting her hair styled for a trip to Rome with her husband.. She mentioned the trip to the hairdresser, who responded:
" Rome ? Why would anyone want to go there? It's crowded and dirty. You're crazy to go to Rome . So, how are you getting there?"
"We're taking Continental," was the reply. "We got a great rate!"
"Continental?" exclaimed the hairdresser. " That's a terrible airline. Their planes are old, their flight attendants are ugly, and they're always late. So, where are you staying in Rome ?"
"We'll be at this exclusive little place over on Rome 's Tiber River Called Teste."
"Don't go any further. I know that place. Everybody thinks its gonna be something special and exclusive, but it's really a dump."
"We're going to go to see the Vatican and maybe get to see the Pope."
"That's rich," laughed the hairdresser. You and a million other people trying to see him. He'll look the size of an ant.
Boy, good luck on this lousy trip of yours. You're going to need it."
A month later, the woman again came in for a hairdo. The hairdresser asked her about her trip to Rome .
"It was wonderful," explained the woman, "not only were we on time in one of Continental's brand new planes, but it was overbooked, and they bumped us up to first class. The food and wine were wonderful, and I had a handsome 28-year-old steward who waited on me hand and foot..
Oh the hotel was great! They'd just finished a $5 million remodeling job, and now it's a jewel, the finest hotel in the city. They, too, were overbooked, so they apologized and gave us their owner's suite at no extra charge!"
"Well," muttered the hairdresser, "that's all well and good, but I know you didn't get to see the Pope."
"Actually, we were quite lucky, because as we toured the Vatican, a Swiss Guard tapped me on the shoulder, and explained that the Pope likes to meet some of the visitors, and if I'd be so kind as to step into his private room and wait, the Pope would personally greet me.
Sure enough, five minutes later, the Pope walked through the door and shook my hand! I knelt down and he spoke a few words to me."
"Oh, really! What'd he say ?"
He said: "Who f**ked up your hair?"
MORAL OF THE STORY...once you stop laughing that is.
DON'T LET ANYONE/ANYTHING
RAIN ON YOUR PARADE!
See you Sunday at the Car Wash n Palm Harbor FL
Come Rain or Shine
and
if YOU are in SC,
Stop in at The Loose CockaBoose and tell em' thanks for all they are doing to save the Gulf.
The fires are burning brightly and their embers are hot in prayers for all this morning.
Thoughts on the wind to all and for our precious gulf, it sea life, the winged ones and Mother Earth and her people...
Stand Strong, Keep the Faith, STOMP united we are One.
Walk In Beauty,

wash out MS... Sure was worried when I first checked for my reading this morning Doc... worried yes I was!YOU sleeping in??? Now that does cause me concern. It is hard to believe a year has passed since MJ died, "gone to soon", CURE MS NOW, good luck tomorrow, sure hope those floats in the pool and "heavy read traing and snake encounter" has built you up for the task" great to see Shawna on the comments and what a super picture today, but was half expecting to see Laura with who knows what in her teeth today!!! I have her in my mind dancing with Ellen tomorrow and wish I could join you all there come rain or come shine... Best to all who find their way here the best blogger ev...ah... Hey Doc, don't be scaring me like this, I count on this page daily for my dose of "keepin me grounded or in flight!" My prayers for the gulf and the family of the fisherman who just couldn't take the pain any longer. BP should hang their heads in shame...
HOPE Alex turns far from the gulf... sing me FOCUSING ENERGY OF HEALING and HOPE
Can't stop laughing........... at the POPE comment. Major LOL, good one, doc.
Yes, STOMP on rain, ALEX, MS, negative people.
Glad you slept in today, you write at unreal hours during the week......... good for you.
See you tomorrow ! Rain or shine.
ICE CREAM !!
Waht if BP fired all it's Exec's and all the jerks who we have had the displeasure hearing their insensitive remarks? That alone would create some new jobs.... Loved the blog today and really loved the story on nthe visit to Rome. So looking forward to the car wash. It will be fun and successful. I agree, if it rains, so what? Extra water, compliments of Mother Nature. Saves water from the hose! "Green" too. We are all that and more. Cautioned ALEX to beat it out of the Gulf, and so it will be. No wind, no new oil forced by wind to our shores. Love this blog!
