Yes, I've started watching Christmas movies this year. So far I've seen A CHRISTMAS CAROL, CHRISTMAS VACATION, HOME ALONE, DECK THE HALLS, and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE. They still warm my heart and get me in the Christmas spirit. Still to be watched this year are SCROOGED, CHRISTMAS STORY, MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET, and CHRISTMAS WITH THE KRANKS.

Are you tired of P2P messages? I'm hoping these political text messages STOP next week. Politicians are allowed to circumvent FCC rulings because they are politicians. I've been using BLOCK when I get these texts but they persist. After reading this article I'm going to simply use the word STOP and see how that works.

Make Your Vote Count! Whether you like Newsom or not we should all vote by September 14th. I started "getting familiar" with the ballot weeks ago (ran out of time) and forgot about it. My sister-in-law asked me who was I voting for? The question startled me, I had to admit I was not through deciding yet. I don't want to be "one of those voters" the one who votes party, or votes for a name they like, or flips a coin. I will finish my homework and cast my vote Saturday, Sept 4th. I hope you make your decision soon and vote.

The Rolling Stones Never Missed A Beat With Charlie Watts. Every time the Rolling Stones tour I ask myself why? The simple answer is "It's Only Rock and Roll" and they like it. One website shows they have played in more than 50 countries including China, Russia, and the United Arab Emirates. The band has changed over the years but they never missed a beat and we can all thank Charlie Watts for that. Thanks for more than 50 years of rock and roll. I miss you already.
