Next To Normal

Broadway Critic "Spencer Williams" said it best.

Went to see Next to Normal last night and was blown away and road the roller coaster or emotions that the show bring to you. Alice Ripley did an amazing job and what a story one that I am glad I got to see and enjoy the music and emotion that went along with it.

Weight Loss Goal!!!

I am not sure who else is trying to loose weight. But this year I really think I am going to make it.
I have a goal of getting back down to 185 so I can get off my Blood Pressure medication.  I know this is not the biggest post but I did not have much to say.

Bomb Scare

 

So we woke up to an interesting bucket out side of our house. 

We were not sure what it was but if you take a close look it looks like a bomb or something like a bomb. I went and took this picture but I noticed that it had a battery connected to it so I took the picture and called the police ASAP. I just thought everyone might want to take a look at this.
