A Quiet Storm from Charlie Carroll

Forced myself out the door this morning… I ended up wandering around and decided to shoot some video of the storm… if you could call it that…
Anyway, this is what I ended up with.

This was uploaded as an HD Video, using the H-264 codec… and the resolution and color has been butchered
I think Vemo does this to get you to Upgrade to the Paid Subscription… It’s an annoying marketing plan.
Whatever… the Music’s intact.

Tweet Of The Day From Women Sports

Do the people who continue to send me press releases read the blog? What is your opinion?

In light of the stickied post at the top of the blog stating please hold off on submitting press releases and the dozen or so press releases I’m getting daily do you think…

A) These people submitting them don’t read GMG therefore haven’t read my plea to hold off a week.

B) These people have read my plea to hold off on sending me press releases for a week but don’t think it would irritate me if they send in theirs because their press release is special and far more important than every other press release that I asked folks to hold off on submitting.

I had such a disagreeable experience the last time I visited a salon that it has been nearly an entire year since my last foray. Heather is prompt, lovely, fun, funny, really good at listening to what you would like, and extremely adept–at one time while she was styling my hair, I counted four hair brushes simultaneously in use!  It won’t be a year between visits now that I’ve met Heather!

Paris, New and Old

Here are two photos from the Rue Rivoli in Paris, from my vacation last October. First, the tower of St. James (formerly part of a church, which is long gone):

 

I like the close proximity and similarity of the Metro (subway) and McDonald’s signs in the photo below:
