MONTH OF DECEMBER 2011
IF YOU WANT TO READ FROM THE BEGINNING, MARCH 15, 2010 IS THE START OF MY DAILY BLOGS.
DECEMBER 1
I'm relieved that no significant snowfall has occurred yet. I love it when we make it almost to Christmas before the first major snowstorm. If I had my way, it would snow late on Christmas Eve and melt on January 1st. That would be the perfect winter for me.
DECEMBER 2
Now it's December, I'm sure that snow will soon be on its way. The days are getting colder. I think a lot about Ice Ages now. I've read Robert Felix's book, "Not by Fire, but by Ice." As we go into winter, I wonder about the predictions that Felix has made. The world is experiencing a drastic increase in precipitation, and that's all it takes to start an Ice Age.
DECEMBER 3
I found the map that Oscar Magosci sent me many years ago. It shows the location of the under-the-lakebed UFO bases in The Great Lakes. I've written about my experiences at Cape Hurd on the Tobermory Peninsula, posting it April 5, 2010. I urge you to go back on this blog and read it. There are bases in Lake Ontario, Lake Huron, Lake Michigan, and Lake Superior, but not in Lake Erie.
DECEMBER 4
I have to get to Lake Ontario to do some UFO viewing. I used to go there in the 1980's and early 90's and stand for hours on the shore near Niagara-on-the- Lake, watching lights materialize in the sky. I would meet Tom and Malcolm there, try to stay warm in the frigid night air, and excitedly watch as the lights would flare up, one after another. They were usually located just out from Grimsby, Ontario - about half-way across the lake. This is the area where witnesses have reported saucer-shaped crafts landing on a platform that suddenly rises to the water's surface.
Sometimes, we would see eight or more lights appear. They would stack up, two at a time, and fly off in different directions. There was never any sound from them. The predominate color was white, with the occasional orange one. A few were white with an orange aura. Frequently, we watched planes flying over the lights as they approached Toronto's airport. I always wondered what the pilots saw from their flight deck. Did their instruments record them?

Pearl Harbor! I wasn't around for this one. It happened in 1941, and I wasn't born until 1949. From Wikipedia: The overall death toll reached 2403, including 68 civilians, and 1178 injured. Of the military personnel lost at Pearl Harbor, 1177 were from the Arizona. I didn't experience it in any way, so I don't feel much about it. I mourn the lives lost, though. Rest in Peace. Why is it that Peace is after death? We need it now!
DECEMBER 8
John Lennon was shot on this day in 1980. I can't believe it was 31 years ago! I don't remember where I was when I heard about it. In contrast to that, I know exactly where I was when Kennedy was killed. I was coming home from school and had stopped in at a corner store. There was a crowd of people who were listening, all ashen-faced and silent, to a radio report of the assassination. I was stunned! Why can I remember that and not remember where and what I was doing when I heard about John Lennon's murder? He was my second favorite Beatle. Paul was my first. George was my third, and Ringo held fourth place. I had Beatlemania, along with most of the planet. Today, I posted "Imagine" on Facebook and watched some YouTube videos of John.

I have to get back to making mental notes during the day. I don't write about everything I do or think, but I jot down interesting thoughts or events. I find it boring to read everyday lives of people. Some feel that they have to blog what they eat or watch on TV. Please spare me! It's more fascinating to be allowed a peek into their mental processes or follow them on their adventures. I love quirkiness in a person's personality - something that sets them apart from the norm.

MONTH OF JULY 2011
I have to decide how to catch up. I've been gone for quite awhile. Okay, I've decided. I'm going to skip ahead to December, 2011. That was an easy decision.

MONTH OF OCTOBER 2010
There are days missing. Too much time has passed, and I can't fill them in, so I've just skipped them.
OCTOBER 1
I made it to 60 last October, and that's all the aging I can tolerate. I'll go backwards now. I'm 59 today, and next year I'll be 58. I don't care what my birth certificate or driver's license says. I believe that I can be any age I want to be. Benjamin Buttons, move over! You have competition!
OCTOBER 2
I'm in love with a man who's 54. That means he has 6 more years to age then he can go backwards as well. That's perfect! He will always be older than me.
OCTOBER 3
My older son is 37 today. I figure in another 10 years in both directions for us, we'll be the same age. I'm beginning to like this system.
OCTOBER 4
If anyone asks my age, I tell them my birth year is 1949. Then I play dumb, which isn't too hard for me to do. I have a scientific, analytical, logical mind, so I love to experiment. I'm always wondering, "What would happen if...?" Add that to my belief that nothing is impossible, and everything opens up to me.
OCTOBER 8
My existence wavers a bit once in awhile. I'm not sure what's happening, but it's like a veil is being pierced. I'm transported to another time and place in my mind. I grip the arms of my chair to maintain my spatial reality. It's a bizarre feeling!
OCTOBER 9
I have an agent! My screenplay has gone from unsolicited to solicited. Look out, Hollywood! Here comes Odyssey!
OCTOBER 10
My younger son is 35 years old today. I'll be passing him on the way, too. I'll wave as I fly by. Every year will be a gift to me. I think I'll stop at 29...doesn't everyone? Thirty years will have passed. I'll either be d_ _d (nasty, 4-letter word!), or it will have actually worked, and I'll be 29!!!!! Whoo Hoo!
OCTOBER 11
I go to my brother's place for Thanksgiving dinner. I get a bit lost on the drive over, but I finally find his house. My son gets even more lost, and he has a GPS in his car! So much for technology verses "Hey! I-think-I-just-drove-by-it-and-should-turn-around" reasoning. Marion is an excellent cook. More than the turkey is stuffed. The only biological entity who isn't raving at the table is the turkey.
OCTOBER 12
We're picking up speed. My agent sure knows what he's doing! Thank goodness for that! I'm sending him all he needs to get Odyssey out there. All the top producers and directors are on the contact list.
OCTOBER 13
I made some of my 'brew' yesterday and discover this morning that I left it out of the frig all night. It's a mixture of apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. I've been drinking it for years as a health beverage. Of course, I don't usually leave it sit out all night. I thought of throwing it away, but I decided to drink it anyway. What you believe won't hurt you, won't! I learned that from a man who is still going strong in his eighties and looks like he's in his early sixties. He told me to eat and drink whatever I want (within reason, of course!) and to believe it won't harm my body. Maybe I can get that to work with calories for weight loss as well. I absolutely don't believe this banana split is fattening! Absolutely, totally, completely...nope!
OCTOBER 14
I'm going for the abstract motif in my micro-wave splatter art. It's beginning to look really interesting! Why does a micro-wave blow up food? That's all I want to know.
OCTOBER 18
Old Chinese proverb: "You never know what luck an ill wind blows." An emotionally charged event happens to me today that strikes right to my heart. And, just like the proverb, things right themselves, and the problem resolves.
I'm always amazed at the methods God uses to work His magic. I don't see the wonder of it all until afterward. Thank you, God. :o)
OCTOBER 19
It is better to be loved from the inside out than the outside in. The attraction lasts longer.
There's nothing more for this month.
