Since I had the good fortune to be born in the month of January, it seems that I am a Capricorn. I was reading my horoscope today and was surprised to learn that some good fortune is supposed to be coming my way. Imagine that!!

It turns out that Dolly Parton was born on the same day as I. At least I have some good company in that category. Some other famous Capricorns are David Bowie, Nicholas Cage, and Jimmy Page.

One thing I love to do is to get out on the water in a boat. I like to fish, but I don’t necessarily have to. Just being on the water and seeing the sunlight on the waves as we make our way down the river is a joy to me. Being with the family is another aspect I like. The kids enjoy the outdoors and I like the fact that I am helping them learn to appreciate Mother Nature.

I would like to get a bigger boat sometime in the future, but for now I am happy with the one I have. It’s never left me stranded and that’s something that I like. I hope we can spend many hours on the water this year.

I guess they needed a sign here. Not sure someone who can’t figure this out on their own should be driving though. Scary thoughts.

Last night we caught the movie, E.T. on one of the cable channels. I cannot believe it has been 30 years since that movie came out. It was really strange to see little Drew Barrymore in that movie as a little 4 year old girl!

I remember when that movie came out. Everyone was so excited about the story of a little boy finding an alien and making friends with it, that it was friendly and meant us no harm. I hope that if we ever do have visitors from space arrive here, that their first contact with us humans is with a little boy like the one in the E. T. movie.

Did you ever notice how helpful those Windows error messages can be? They are not as helpful as the Mac messages, but this would be an improvement. I sometimes move files to different folders and then the shortcuts don’t work any longer – it gets frustrating – why can’t Windows shortcuts keep track of where the file moved to?
