EMPTYING MY BRAIN

Tweet

Okay, no cracks like, "I didn't know you had a brain" or "I thought your head was empty"--just comment on anything below. I am not a fan of Madonna--maybe I have seen 2 movies she was in--her infamous kiss--possibly heard a song or two but come on she is a survivor in a very rough business--why is the world pick on her a few years ago for adopting a baby?? She Idid doing everything legal--she took a child out of poverty and gave him a chance at life--she doesn't need the publicity--she has the money--she has 2 kids--why did the media 'attack' her? Am I missing something? .Is there a correlation between gas and tomatoes??/ Weeks ago when gas prices were going up tomato prices were going down and now that gas prices are going down tomato prices are going up---$3.99 a pound today for what passes as a tomato today. The older I get the harder the time I am having of remembering words--especially when working on a crossword puzzle! Our school board fired our Superintendent of schools yesterday--the 6th largest school district in the nation--he had 8 months to go after serving 7 years--and they have to pay him the rest of the contract--why? Because 5 of the 9 school board members (one of whom wasn't re-elected last week but serves for another 2 weeks) because they don't like his personality. Yes he did make some mistakes but he made a lot of improvements like we don't have a single 'F' school in the district--now they have to pay him and the board will have to spend more money to find a replacement and no one is able to take the helm--it isn't like our school system has money to throw away! I have been listening to the "A Chorus Line" cast album 24/7 since Gene sent it to me--one of the greatest numbers (in any musical) is Cassie's "The Music and The Mirror"--it is about a dancer--the director's ex who walked out on him--and now she is putting herself on the line for a job in the chorus--imagine the humiliation she feels having to beg for a job from her ex for a job she is great at and loves? It is a dynamite piece--even more amazing Cassie is alone on stage for 8 minutes and does a dazzling dance piece--whenever I hear it I cry and cheer and I want her to get the job. I have been watching this clip for 41 years and just as I saw it the first time on stage I want to shout WOW!!! Now I have something important to do--decide what movie I will see tomorrow--hey, it's Friday--my movie day--probably the tearjerker "The Light Between Oceans"--I am a sucker for tearjerkers!!! LOL Amazing what gathers in the mind! No wonder I can't remember words!
