Some days are just good by virtue of the magic of Nature.  Today is one of those perfect autumn days.  Nature has donned its coat of many colors, and the blazing reds and golds of the leaves appear to glow against the crystal clear blue sky.  Just fabulous.

I was driving to the grocery store today around noon, and I was struck by the beauty of the day, even waiting at a red light.  Sometimes I am pleased by the simplest of things.  Driving with the sunroof open and Springsteen on the radio.

We're going out to dinner tonight, and then having the Scrabble championship of the known universe. I fully expect to get my butt kicked. He'll take forever to play, he'll use all his letters, I'll call him a bad name, and he'll laugh. It's a decades old tradition between the two of us.

Sometimes the simplest of things are just perfect.

    Enjoying your positive posts--more like this needed everywhere in life!
     
    The video took me back to a good place... and I had forgotten that it was Courtney Cox from friends being pulled up on stage.  I am guessing it was "planned" though.  I don't know.

    mimi- Do you mean we aren't the only ones who play for champion of the known universe? I have no idea where she gets the idea that after about ten games we are playing for the best player in the entire cosmos.

    Don't forget how much fun that game was!  ;)  I just love the stuffin' out of you.

    That video makes me feel kind of old - was it like 20 years ago or something? 

    Yeah, how about that game!

    yes.... it.. is... =)

    I remember when my children were little, I was driving, and this exact song came on the radio, and I would blast the volume and be so into the song.  This song just calls out for some volume and energy.  This ain't elevator music.
  • MissMimi said on Oct 21, 2007....

    I have now watched the video three times in a row...  I knew my girls here would love it.  That Springsteen was hothothot!  How can you not love this song?

    I am enjoying doing this series too.  I started it as a lark, but what it's done is made me focus on the positive in my life.  Something I sometimes have trouble doing.  I'm always on the look out for good ideas.  I'm so pleased you all are enjoying it too.

    We never did play Scrabble.  After we came home, B fell asleep in front of the TV and I played the piano, which was another fun thing about today.  He was probably faking it so he wouldn't have to play and get his butt beat...  That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

    LOL, Botty baby, you definitely are a simple pleasure in my life...  ;)

    I had one of those mornings today, it was a beautiful autumn morning, low mist, sunny, trees in full glory.
     
    Bruce, what memories, went to see him live about 20 years ago :0 He's rather georgous as well ;-)
  • Mamie said on Oct 21, 2007....
    Oh MIGOSH!! I did not know that you play piano!! Would you like to choose a piece to play and I will dance the ballet to it? How fun would that be? And WHAT a picture!!:))
  • botoni said on Oct 21, 2007....
    Mamie...You just stop horning in on my territory! I m the ballet prima donna with the Picker tiara. Dont be getting my tutu in a knot! Welllllllllllllllllll....if ya wanna we can do a duet.
  • MissMimi said on Oct 22, 2007....

    LOL, you obviously have not heard me play.  I'm willing to fake it just because I wouldn't miss this pas de deux for the world.  Better I should put on the Nutcracker, and the three of us can be sugarplum fairies.

  • Mamie said on Oct 22, 2007....
    I am all for it! Better yet, lets grab snacks and drinks, put the DVD version on in the background and we can just snuggle in and catch up on all the dirt!!
    Ah, I love ballet!! :))
  • silverwhisper said on Oct 22, 2007....
    listening to springsteen in the car, a nice day...i've always felt that makes for a good day, myself. :>

    Ah, Ed, I knew you'd show up eventually.  It's Springsteen, afterall!  I can't say I'm a huge Springsteen fan, but I love this song.
