New Turntable
The ELP LT-1LRC Laser Turntable
is the Only Turntable That Plays Records with Laser Beams! An Analogue Turntable That Plays Your Records Using Five Lasers: No contact, No Wear, No Arm, No Cartridge, but stunning musicality! Imagine playing your records with their original sound, but with all the features of a modern CD player. After $20 Million of development costs, the LT-2XRC Laser Turntable plays LPs, singles and 78s to audiophile quality with remote control and CD features such as track selection, pause fast forward and rewind. With no physical contact with the record, the Laser turntable offers zero record wear, no rumble or background noise of any kind, no cartridge induced resonances or frequency response anomalies, perfect channel separation, zero tracking errors, no inner groove distortion and no skating or jumping. User adjustable laser-reading height allows the laser to read the grooves of old records, at a height where the stylus has caused least wear. By scanning below the surface, scratches are inaudible and even broken records can be played, if you need to transcribe those old 78s! Remarkably despite using laser technology, the Laser Turntable retains the purity of being an analogue device and outputs a MM level Phono signal, with a frequency response of 10 Hz- 25 kHz.
Key Benefits Perfect Stereo Separation. It reads each channel with a separate laser beam, so as to generate no cross talk or print through. An incredible sound stage even on mono records. Extracts everything that was put on the record at the production stage, and reveals just how good that process really was even fifty years ago!
Plays LPS and Singles, 7", 8", 9" 10" and 12" @ 33 and 45 RPM and 78
The cost is approximately US $13,434.96

The Jews are not demonstrating with their dead on the streets, yelling and chanting and asking for revenge, the Jews are not promoting brain washing the children in military training camps, teaching them how to blow themselves up and cause maximum deaths of Jews and other non Muslims.
The Jews don't hijack planes, nor kill athletes at the Olympics, the Jews don't traffic slaves, nor have leaders calling for Jihad and death to all the Infidels.
The Jews don't have the economic strength of petroleum, or the possibilities to force the world's media to see "their side" of the question.
Perhaps if the world's Muslims could invest more in normal education and less in blaming the Jews for all their problems, we could all live in a better world.

Birthday
(Chemo Cat)
Today is George Washington's Birthday. Yesterday, on 2/21/06, I was 16 for the third time, and 24 for the second time. I sung "You're Sixteen" by Ringo Starr, in a bar named Cheers, with Patti and her father. Kelsey Grammer of Cheers fame also had his birthday. On 02/19, my father called, and told me that someone important to him had a surgical procedure done at a hospital. I do not know why he called me, or why he informed me of that person's event. I do not know why this procedure was done, or what I should do with this information. On 2/20 evening, Karl Canty called me from Blockbuster Video to have someone to talk with while he picked out a DVD. On 2/21, Naomi called to ask if I could board her until she returns to Philippines next week, and to speak with Patti. I called and spoke with Gina on 2/21 when I was with Patti in Daytona Beach. None of these 4 people and calls included any reference or mention of my birthday. I received an email from my siblings on 2/21 stating "Happy Birthday". Nancy is the only person who I received a postal sent birthday card, or and a telephone call to wish me a Happy Birthday. It was on Voice Mail, since I was then singing at Cheers. The cartoon that she had sent me, is featured on yesterday's posting on this site. Deborah's Birthday is 2/24.
Most of Chemo Cat's birthday suit has been removed.
Patti gave me a card, brought me to a park excursion, the finest restaurant dinner I have experienced in Florida, my first Karaoke store, and to Cheers, The KJ and audience at Cheers, and the Servers at Harry's Restaurant all sang Happy Birthday to me. I sung "American Idiot" of Green Day, and for the first time, my anthem song: "Rock And Roll" of Led Zeppelin. I also sang, "The Tide is High" of Blondie. sang "Dreams" of Fleetwood Mac., "Party Started" of Pink, "Whats Up" of 4 Non Blonds, and "Close to You" of Karen Carpenter. Today, Richard said that P.A.P. stands for "Pretty Amazing Person".
Yesterday, Andrew Lerner has founded his new company called "ALTertainment". He acquired the 5 starting ALT CD assets for his Karaoke business, which represents Andrew Lerner Tunes.

Define: Autism
Autism is a lifelong, nonprogressive neurological disorder typically appearing before the age of three years. It is characterized by language and communication deficits, withdrawal from social contacts, and extreme reactions to changes in the immediate environment.
Autism is a brain disorder that begins in early childhood and persists throughout adulthood; affects three crucial areas of development: communication, social interaction, and creative or imaginative play. It's a disorder which usually appears within the first three years of life and may result in learning difficulties, speech problems and difficulty relating to people.
Autism is a disorder of brain function that appears early in life, generally before the age of three. Children with autism have problems with social interaction, communication, imagination and behavior.
Autistic traits persist into adulthood, but vary in severity. Some adults with autism function well, earning college degrees and living independently. Others never develop the skills of daily living, and may be incorrectly diagnosed with a variety of psychiatric illnesses. The cause is unknown. This is a chronic developmental disorder usually diagnosed between 18 and 30 months of age. Symptoms include problems with social interaction and communication as well as repetitive interests and activities.
At this time, the cause of autism is not known although many experts believe it to be a genetically based disorder that occurs before birth. From early childhood there is severe impairment in communication and social interactions, and actions are often repetitive and unchanging.
Autism is considered a neurodevelopmental disorder that manifests itself in marked problems with social relatedness, communication, interest, and behavior. The field of psychiatry has classified it in the DSM as one of the five types of pervasive developmental disorders (or autism spectrum disorders). The etiology and physiological basis for autism are unknown, and the psychiatric criteria for the diagnosis are based on behavioral attributes rather than clinical tests.
Autism is a lifelong developmental disability that prevents individuals from properly understanding what they see, hear, and otherwise sense. This results in severe problems in social relationships, communication and behavior (From TEACCH website). (psychiatry) an abnormal absorption with the self; marked by communication disorders and short attention span and inability to treat others as people.
Autism is a developmental disability that results in impairments in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and unusual behaviors and responses to the environment. A probably genetic condition in which a person is dis-associated from the reality around them. Someone who has lost or never achieved contact with other people, demonstrating stereotyped repetitive behaviour such as twirling objects or rocking. Other characteristics are indifferent to parents or other people, an inability to tolerate change, and defective speech or mutism. They are severely intellectually impaired although they may have islets of above average talent (music, drawing, mathematical calculation abilities, etc.). This is a brain disorder that typically affects a person's ability to communicate, form relationships with others, and respond appropriately to the environment.
Autism means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and non-verbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects educational performance. The term does not include children with characteristics of the disability severe behavioral handicap.
Autism and related syndromes are dramatically on the rise. Many children and young adults have autistic traits without being fully autistic. Asperger's syndrome and developmental delay syndromes are two of these related categories. These syndromes exist because of brain circuitry problems. Homeopathy can stimulate the brain and turn on dormant areas by connecting circuits. When a proper treatment is received, both learning and communication skills as well as physical growth increase.
Autism is a form of pervasive developmental disorder with an unknown origin. It can range from high functioning to severe in nature. Symptoms are a marked lack of awareness of the feelings of others and little or no social interaction or communications with others. Children with autism are often described as "within themselves" and may seem to avoid affection and love.
Many children with autism will not talk, are self-isolating and self-stimulating. pathological “self absorption� is a bioneurological disorder, not a mental illness, which affects the functioning of the brain. Some theories suggest that it may be caused by genetics, viral and/or chemical exposure.
Autism causes lifelong developmental disability, including problems with communication, social interaction and physical activities. A tendency to morbid self-absorption at the extreme of regulation by outward reality ADL Activities of daily living. Routine activities carried out for personal hygiene and health (including bathing, dressing, feeding) and for operating a household. Subjective, self-centered behavior not altered by external influences. Withdrawal from contact with people. Pervasive developmental disorder beginning in infancy involving a wide range of abnormalities, including language impairment, abnormal behavior and social withdrawal. It is a neurological developmental disability that results in limited cognitive abilities: the autistic individual is limited in ability to learn inductively from surrounding events. Social interactions and many kinds of conceptual learning can be strongly limited. At the same time, the autistic individual may be outstandingly good at some kinds of mental manipulations, such as, for example, arithmetical calculations.

At the same time, the autistic individual may be outstandingly good at some kinds of mental manipulations, such as, for example, arithmetical calculations.

@@@
Here are some other examples of how different Florida is from NY. When I parked my car in the employee parking lot during the entire day today, I intentionally left the ignition key in the steering column. Since my wireless remote control will not operate when this happens, I left the door to my car open for the day. Otherwise, I would not be able to get back into my car to go home. A heinous crime was perpetrated on me today. Apparently, someone saw my door unlocked, and my key in the ignition. I found all of my doors locked, with the key still inside! Floridians are just too considerate, friendly, nice and helpful. When I loose my spectacles or meal case, someone usually finds me, and returns them to me.
I called @@@ to help me. That represents Automobile Advice. came to my car while I was working, and performed yet another miracle. She opened my car, removed my key, and instructed me how to do so in the future! I was unable to figure that out by myself! I did find my prescription eyeshades days ago. I then lost my designer prescription distance spectacles! Now, I am using my reading optics.
I will not be working all day on Tuesday, February 21, 2006, in a precedent to honor a great American. What say you? I'd like to know. If you have an errection longer than seven hours, see your doctor.
UPDATE: found my eyewear AND old spares also!

MABUS MAY BE US
Nostradamus predicted the rise of three "anti-christs". The first was Napaulon Roy (Napoleon), the second was Hister (Hitler), and the third is referred to as Mabus. Century 2, Quatrain 62: Mabus will soon die, then will come, A horrible undoing of people and animals, At once one will see vengeance, One hundred powers, thirst, famine, when the comet will pass. Possibilities for the third anti-christ, a.k.a Mabus, are: Mahmoud Abbas, George W Bush, Saddam Hussein, and Osama Bin Laden. According to Nostradamus, Mabus will soon be killed, and a terrible vengeange lasting 27 years will be wreaked upon the world. Century 8, Quatrain 77: The antichrist very soon annihilates the three, twenty-seven years his war will last. The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled; with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.
Using the bible code, scholars have found out the following: In 2010, there will be an earthquake in California, and an Israel Peace treaty, will be broken. In 2012, a comet will pass by and hit the earth.

I will be celebrating my second 24th birthday next week on Tuesday. I have felt this age for many years. My second 25th birthday will not be for two years.

Get Patti Started
It would have been interesting if Dick shot Dan Quale. Patti & I enforced some lyrics tonight. I had the most delightful edible treat in years memory. She gave me one pound of chocolate covered cherries. This is in addition to Edith Miriam Aranow Lerner Chicken soup, Noodle Koogle, stew, and Lasagna for the third week in a row! I have been running out of plastic food storage containers Richard wanted me to discard, so we had to purchase many new ones! I purchased tulips in bloom for us in front of my house. I no longer use my cell phone or computer systems when I am driving my bike as well as my car. I gave to Patti, an iron butterfly necklace with purple crystals, and two gold starship earrings, to replace the dilithium crystal she sacrificed in rescuing me from the Klingon police and fire people. What say you? I'd like to know. There was a huge positive response to my rendition of American Idiot. I enjoy the Classic Alternative songs Patti performs, such as "What's Up" from 4 NON BLONDES, and Hard Gothic Alternative songs like "Bring Me to Life" from Evanescence.
PINK LYRICS "Get The Party Started" I'm comin' up so you better get this party started I'm comin' up so you better get this party started Get this party started on a TUESDAY night Everybody's waitin for Patti to arrive Sendin' out the message to all of my friends We'll be lookin flashy in my Mercedes Benz I got lotsa style, check my gold diamond rings I can go for miles if you know what I mean I'm comin' up so you better get this party started I'm comin' up so you better get this party started Pumpin up the volume, breakin down to the beat Cruisin' through the west side We'll be checkin' the scene Boulevard is freakin' as I'm comin' up fast I'll be burnin' rubber, you'll be kissin' my ass Pull up to the bumper, get out of the car License plate says Stunner #1 Superstar I'm comin' up so you better get this party started I'm comin' up so you better get this party started Get this party started Makin my connection as I enter the room Everybody's chillin as I set up the groove Pumpin' up the volume with this brand new beat Everybody's dancin and their dancin for me I'm your operator, you can call anytime I'll be your connection to the party line I'm comin' up so you better get this party started I'm comin' up so you better get this party started I'm comin' up so you better get this party started I'm comin' up so you better get this party started Get this party started Get this party started right now Get this party started Get this party started Get this party started right now.

No Memories
My niece and her new husband live in Winter Park, near Full Sail. That's about thirty minutes from me. They are in their mid twenties, and have visited my first home in Altamonte Springs Florida, two times, for a period of about five minutes. My niece visited my condo in Lake Mary for about five minutes, and they again recently with Patti here, for ten minutes. They brought over the desk hutch for my guest room. I otherwise met with them briefly for two family gatherings. Most of the people I have spent time with over the years are in their twenties. I am interested in Web design and E-commerce. That is also what my niece and her spouse do for a living. I have lived in NY until January 2005, new to Florida, and have not really had anyone to help acclimate me here. My Sister and Father live about two hours from me. The rest of my family is in the Greater NY area. It was lonely here without a friend, an employer, or a roommate. I now consistently have all three. It's interesting how more time has been spent with these three during the past week, than with my closest relatives in years. I know that I was never interested in spending time with my Uncle, nor he I. I am not sure if I did anything to alienate my niece and her husband. I apologize for anything inappropriate I may have unintentionally done to them. I am grateful to my niece and her groom, when they were married in June 2004, for inviting my best friend Nancy and I to her wedding, and especially to allow me to live in their home during their honeymoon, while I found my own first home here in Central Florida. A great many photographs were taken at the wedding, and especially of Nancy and I. We are still looking forward to seeing those photographs twenty months later. I am sure that I have spent more time with Patti than I have with Alison in our lifetime. What say you? I'd like to know.

Warm Florida!
The above address is my site address for "My Sight". "My Sight" is the title for my sight. My sight is how I see and view my world. The term "blog" is derived from the phrase "Web Log". This phrase itself is derivative of a log being posted on the World Wide Web. A log is a daily journal or diary of an individual's editorials. I have named my web site, "My Site" because it is my site as well as my sight. In other words, it is my posting as well as my viewpoint.
A favorite group of mine is called Green Day. I admire the quality of their art. They create and perform good music. It has been classified in my society with the name of "punk" music. This group and its music have received many awards and accolades. Most recently, the album titled "American Idiot" has received another Grammy award for the best song of the year "Blvd of Broken Dreams". I found this song to be exceedingly overplayed on FM radio. Regularly, I sing my favorite song "American Idiot". I enjoy the music, and appreciate its lyrics. I enjoy enforcing its lyrics by singing with the music in public venues. . Green is not a favorite color of mine. My favorite colors are shades of beige, gold, and brown.
I have never been in a happier home than the one I live in now. I now realize how miserable I have been in my former dwellings, towns, counties, and state. I have never felt as optimistic, challenged, encouraged, and comfortable in an employment position and career as I do now. For the first time in my life, I have found someone with whom I feel loved and cared for, more than anyone else. There is nobody who enjoys being with me more than Patti. I am willing to do more for this individual than any one else. She has my implicit trust, confidence, and admiration. This has never ever been the case with me during my entire life.
I have more friends, earn more income, have lesser expenses, and live far more comfortably in Florida than is possible anywhere else. Moving out from NY is the best, wisest long overdue move I have ever made. It boggles my mind why people live in NY, have children, work in the military, and praise Republicans like Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush. What say you? I'd like to know. The posting for February 6, 2006 now has a picture. Look at it.

DIET
This paragraph describes my diet, regarding its restrictions, and my preferences. I do not eat any pork products, seafood, cereal, barbecued or fried food. I prefer kosher meats when available, and like to avoid dairy with meat. I need to limit residue such as: seeds, skins (like on potatoes or some beans), raw vegetables (like lettuce, tomatoes, or peppers), garnish, and pulp. Spices must also be limited. I need to limit myself to beverages that do not contain carbonation, caffeine, fruit juice, and alcohol. As much as possible, it is best that I only have dairy that is lactose-free. I only drink orange juice that is low acid, and pulp-free. I have an ulcer, colitis, GERD, irritable bowl, and am slightly lactose intolerant. I make exceptions for ice cream, flavored yogurt, and anything chocolate. I love pasta, rice, potatoes, and anything made with tomatoes or potatoes. Southern Italian is my favorite cuisine. My favorite cooked vegetables are potatoes, tomatoes, green beans, peas, and lima beans. I hate asparagus and spinach. My favorite fruits are pineapple and banana and food made with strawberry, peach, and cherry. I hate raspberry, blueberry, and cranberry. I prefer Chicken, Turkey, and occasionally beef (especially kosher corned beef). My favorite foods are lasagna, and chocolate ice cream with chocolate fudge, chocolate chips, chocolate fudge brownie, and peanut butter with strawberry preserves. My favorite beverage is filtered water, or non-caffeinated plain ice tea with Splenda. Salsa is my favorite condiment. What say you? I'd like to know.

Good News
What say you? I'd like to know. I finally picked up my first pair of reading opticals yesterday. I have been needing them since I started my new career in September 2005. They are comparable to my last new pair, purchased in October. Because of my insurance, it only cost me $20! My new prescription yesterday only cost me $5.
The only benefit I have found by my car's ABS is it saves my money on my car insurance. It would cost me about $800 to fix, and only at a Ford Dealership. I never liked or wanted ABS. Good News! Not only did it cost me only $25 to fix my car to fine operational condition again, but I am still saving a whole bunch on money on my car insurance! My only remaining injuries left to heal, are two scabs on my arm. The total cost for 9/27/06 is now at least $511.00. I just paid yet another $133 bill (same amount) on 1/13/06. What say you? I'd like to know.
On 2/21/06 I will have worked at Convergys for three months. I have worked there longer than any employment I have had in Florida. I have gotten a permanent raise of .50/hour, and will receive two more of these, in addition, over each of the next two months. In a little more than two years from now, I will be forty ten. My new benefits replace my old ones as of 3/1/06. Patti & I will have been together four (4) months on 2/25/06. Patti fixed yet another door, and performed other miracles.There are links to two photos in this paragraph. The posting entry for 2/6/06 is very revised. Please read it. What say you? I'd like to know.

Florida is not pedestrian friendly
Today is Groundhog Day, just as it has been every day. I do not remember exactly what I wrote the first time I wrote this post today. However, you never saw it, and will probably not remember this post either. For those of you who are A.LtERNativE_Reality challenged, I am euphemistically referring to the existential theme of the motion picture.
Florida is not pedestrian friendly. Sidewalks start and stop in the middle of nowhere. The sidewalks along my road were removed months ago to make the road wider. The remaining dirt sides of the road are blocked with signs that say, “sidewalk closed�. Needless to say, there are no sidewalks, no bike lanes, no street lights, no fences, and no dividers on the Lake Mary Blvd. Bridge over the I-4 expressway. There are no dividers between the turn off lanes and the continuing road. Cars often suddenly turn to cross over the painted lines, before it’s too late to catch the off-ramp. There is much sand, and poor paving on the sides of the main road. Cars travel at 55 mph or faster. There are no lights, and dark at night.
I fell off my bike on the I-4 bridge 1/21/06. Patti was near by to thwart off 6 Fire-Fighters, 2 Police Officers, 2 fire trucks, 2 Law Enforcement Vehicles, and an ambulance. They were threatening to either Baker Act me, or ask that I voluntarily give up my rights, and go to a medical facility.
On 9/27/05, I had to walk in the busy street, since there were geysers along the sidewalk. This is ironic since I could be hit by a car in the street, and have to be rushed to the hospital emergency room. In my area, they keep removing sidewalks altogether. If you are a pedestrian in central Florida, you have to climb over fences, down trenches, up hills, and through bushes to get anywhere.
When the Wendy’s manager saw that I was outside, standing, and not in a motorized vehicle, he looked incredulous at my criminal activity. How dare I violate the civil rules of society? He did not even want to allow the driver to give the food to me. My kind is not welcome there. The total cost for 9/27/06 is now at least $511.00. I just paid yet another $133 bill (same amount) on 1/13/06.
I fell off my bike there, on the I-4 overpass, two weeks ago. It took me a few minutes to realize that my head was over the traffic line, and in danger of being run over by a car or truck. I now know not to ride a bike with flat tires, without my helmet, gloves, and especially after not having driven a bike in months. It took 9 minutes from my home to where I fell. I had wanted to see how long it would take me to drive to my employer. I estimate it would have been a total of 14 minutes. I walked home for the first time today! Convergys is less than one mile from my house.
Home and Convergys
By taxi: 1.7 miles and 9 minutes
By car: 1.5 miles and 14 minutes
By bike: 1.2 miles and 14 minutes
By feet: 1.1 miles and 30 minutes
As the crow flies: 0.9 mile and 6 minutes
My car is broken. It is a 1999 Ford Escort with 67K miles. The ABS needs repair. There is a guardrail dent along its side. The estimate is $800 to repair. My choices are the following:
1) Give my car away for free to the buyer of its elaborate audio system. This will save me a whole bunch of money on my car insurance.
2) Walk or bike to and from work every day.
3) Ask Patti to give me a ride to and from work when it rains or hotter than 115 degrees outside.
4) Pay Brian to give me a lift to and from work every day.
5) Find a roommate who works at Convergys
6) Share my home with Patti for $111.11 with permission to use her car occasionally.
7) Put my audio system into Patti’s car, and sell my car.
8) Pay for the repair of my car, and drive it for the next 33 years. (I put 1000 miles on it per year).
9) Buy a brand new hybrid car with GPS.
Pedestrians save way too much money on car insurance. What say you? I'd like to know.
Florida is not pedestrian friendly. Sidewalks start and stop in the middle of nowhere. The sidewalks along my road were removed months ago to make the road wider. The remaining dirt sides of the road are blocked with signs that say, “sidewalk closed�. Needless to say, there are no sidewalks, no bike lanes, no street lights, no fences, and no dividers on the Lake Mary Blvd. Bridge over the I-4 expressway. There are no dividers between the turn off lanes and the continuing road. Cars often suddenly turn to cross over the painted lines, before it’s too late to catch the off-ramp. There is much sand, and poor paving on the sides of the main road. Cars travel at 55 mph or faster. There are no lights, and dark at night.
I fell off my bike on the I-4 bridge 1/21/06. Patti was near by to thwart off 6 Fire-Fighters, 2 Police Officers, 2 fire trucks, 2 Law Enforcement Vehicles, and an ambulance. They were threatening to either Baker Act me, or ask that I voluntarily give up my rights, and go to a medical facility.
On 9/27/05, I had to walk in the busy street, since there were geysers along the sidewalk. This is ironic since I could be hit by a car in the street, and have to be rushed to the hospital emergency room. In my area, they keep removing sidewalks altogether. If you are a pedestrian in central Florida, you have to climb over fences, down trenches, up hills, and through bushes to get anywhere.
When the Wendy’s manager saw that I was outside, standing, and not in a motorized vehicle, he looked incredulous at my criminal activity. How dare I violate the civil rules of society? He did not even want to allow the driver to give the food to me. My kind is not welcome there. The total cost for 9/27/06 is now at least $511.00. I just paid yet another $133 bill (same amount) on 1/13/06.
I fell off my bike there, on the I-4 overpass, two weeks ago. It took me a few minutes to realize that my head was over the traffic line, and in danger of being run over by a car or truck. I now know not to ride a bike with flat tires, without my helmet, gloves, and especially after not having driven a bike in months. It took 9 minutes from my home to where I fell. I had wanted to see how long it would take me to drive to my employer. I estimate it would have been a total of 14 minutes. I walked home for the first time today! Convergys is less than one mile from my house.
Home and Convergys
By taxi: 1.7 miles and 9 minutes
By car: 1.5 miles and 14 minutes
By bike: 1.2 miles and 14 minutes
By feet: 1.1 miles and 30 minutes
As the crow flies: 0.9 mile and 6 minutes
My car is broken. It is a 1999 Ford Escort with 67K miles. The ABS needs repair. There is a guardrail dent along its side. The estimate is $800 to repair. My choices are the following:
1) Give my car away for free to the buyer of its elaborate audio system. This will save me a whole bunch of money on my car insurance.
2) Walk or bike to and from work every day.
3) Ask Patti to give me a ride to and from work when it rains or hotter than 115 degrees outside.
4) Pay Brian to give me a lift to and from work every day.
5) Find a roommate who works at Convergys
6) Share my home with Patti for $111.11 with permission to use her car occasionally.
7) Put my audio system into Patti’s car, and sell my car.
8) Pay for the repair of my car, and drive it for the next 33 years. (I put 1000 miles on it per year).
9) Buy a brand new hybrid car with GPS.

Groundhog Day
Groundhog Day may be my favorite holiday. It is on every February 2, each year over and over again, like clockwork. Whether or not we continue to experience cold days over and over again, is determined by whether humans believe if an animal sees his shadow or not. It is also one of my favorite movies. It is in my favorite genre of Speculative Fiction, as phrased by a favorite author of mine in 1976, Kurt Vonnegut. When my Nieces were young girls, I told them my favorite book was "Breakfast of Champions". This is a book by him. They thought I was talking about the movie called "The Breakfast Club". Groundhog Day is an existential story of a person's journey towards personal growth. It stars favorite actors of mine. They include Bill Murray, who usually portrays personality and charters most similar to me of all celebrities. It also stars Andi MacDowell, who was born the same 1958 year as myself. The 1993 movie is a timeless, rare brilliant romantic comedy, that I don't mind watching over and over and over again. Today's posting will remain a tribute to this day, and the motion picture. Live each day as your only day. It may be the first and or last day of the rest of your life. De Ja Vu. What say you? I'd like to know.
