What a loss

I just heard that Patrick Swayze died.
He was only 57!!
What a loss.
I loved him in Ghost and Dirty Dancing. I think everyone has either seen the movies or at least heard of them. They defined an age.

He will be missed.

I don't feel chatty right now.
I'll get back to you as to how the Citizen's Police Acadamy is going.
So far, we toured the station and got to look into the police cars.
We got an overview of what we'll be hearing and seeing.
It's not a surprise that the first class ran over 30 minutes longer.
LOL
Lots to ask questions about, that's for sure!

I think I'm the only one who never saw "Dirty Dancing."

You are not the only one, Dru.
You've heard of it. That's enough.
Heck, there are a ton of movies the general public loves, which I've not seen, nor intend to.

I love Ghost, Brandy. Sure, I cry, but I get the goose bumps too.

Hey, DDD!
Yep, he was waaaay too young to leave this world. Like Michael Landon, I had hopes that he'd beat it.
It's always hard to see someone young go who you feel still had lots to contribute to the world.
very sad.
but thanks for stopping by!

I Tried a Book Out of My Comfort Zone

Sometimes, reading out of my comfort zone is ... well, uncomfortable. The blurb of the book sounded rather interesting. The Fate of Mercy ...
