Today is the First Day of the Rest of My Blog

well, it looks like i have another adventure in store. we bought a sailboat. i've been sailing once before and really enjoyed it. i've always found sailing an intriguing idea, sort of envied those that were able to afford to have a sailboat, never thought i'd be able to have one. and then... i met a sailor. a scallywag. im not even sure what a scallywag is, actually. maybe he's not one. probably not. anyway, my husband has definitely got saltwater and or freshwater , for that matter, in his veins. i do, too, but in the way of loving the water, craving it, but not much experience in the sailing part. im really looking forward to this. he's gonna teach me the ropes. the ropes, get it? god, im so funny, i can't stand it.

So, yesterday two celebrities died. I'll preface this and say didn't know either of them personally, so my opinions of each are based upon my own conjecture, suppositions and "sixth sense". The first, a gentle spirit, fought a long, hard battle with a debilitating, somewhat embarrassing condition. She chose to confirm and make it public on her own terms, after being "outed" by an unscrupulous person in the medical field that, instead of protecting a patient's privacy with integrity, decided to be a money-whore. So, Farrah chose to make her anal cancer very public, by airing her battle on television in the hope of bringing awareness to the disease. This, I believe, showed an amazing amount of courage, on her and her family's part. There's no way in hell I would have done it that way, I'm too much of a coward for that. Well, the battle ended yesterday. I won't say she lost, I refuse to, because she fought to the end until there was nothing...
