Everything has a shelf life

Woke up early 5:30 but rested and ran the doggies through the routine..although they wondered why it was so dark outside?  This will prepare me for DST when 6:30 is really 5:30 and honestly I am an early bird.  I always love Siggie and Joe's routine ..wake up at 4am and drink coffee and chat and then snooze together for a while.  I will try it...I know ed will.
Anyhow, we read/watched the news and then Juni, Rocky and Hari went for a walk, trying to get spaz used to a leash, trying to remember "calm and submissive" but Rocky was scooting all over, Hari wanted to chew Junior's leash.  Junior was the only one I have calmed and submisstized!But I look behind me and here comes Jack Black and Jimmy, shoulder to shoulder and walking about 10 feet behind our little circus as if herding cats...actually they were herding cats.   They followed us for about a half a mile and when we turned around they parted to let us pass and then picked up the rear again.  I love it.
We went to see Dark Knight last night and it was good.  I won't weigh in with my over- analytical review because the way I see it if you want a review..go see it your own self!
I was extremely impressed with my nephews analysis of the BoSox's trade of Manny Ramirez.Steve is very astute at human nature.His blog is entertaining.   Frankly and here we go on the opinion part.  His videos need work.Maybe he will get better with a good editor! 
ANGELS
OK so I always profess to not be religious and I often doubt the existence of a higher powerHowever there is something that often effects me.  I don't know if it is my strict Catholic upbringing or my religion classes in college but I do believe in Angels.To the point, last night in the movies, which I found extremely dark-minded (including the 10 preview to coming attractions) when the movie was getting long and beginning to get on my nerves, my mind wandered.  I had a brief anxiety attack about our future but I recited a prayer I have known since I was a kid (thanks mom!) to St. Jude (patron saint of despair or hopeless causes) (sometimes known as my life).  The anxiety passed and I endured the end of the movie.   But...here is the Angel part, while I was waiting for Bert and Ernie to relieve themselves, (2 hour + movies are hard on older men) a former Sentinel staffer, who left last year to pursue other interests, walked up and touched my shoulder.  He asked if I was now a former employee and when I acknowledged the exit, the said,  "don't worry it only gets better from here".   That was an Angel!  This is why I like the TV show, "Saving Grace".   Grace is a bit over the top as a person and I think of myself as a cross between her(my much youger days)  and her friend Rhetta.  But what like most is her personal Angel...Earl.    I would have myself believe that my Angels are varied and many.   Thanks.
Good quote tho..."everything has a shelf life"!
Off to Arden..I have not been there in a week and it feels like month although the social worker called yesterday to see how I was doing.  "Doing well now that she is maintaining".  I guess at 95, it is all about good maintenance.
