Melissa - Nice to have you back with us. When this happened I could not figure out what was happening to her. I even thought maybe she knew it and then went blank. I'm giving my age away but in 1959 The Great Nat King Cole sang the National Anthem in Chicago, at old White Sox Park, one of the World Series Games being played, and Nat forgot the ending, but being the professional he was, hummed the rest of it and the crowd thought he meant for it to be heard like that. His nice polite version. Nat admitted he did forget and just starting humming.

YEA! You are back! So excited to get 2 blog entries from you in as many weeks...you brighten my day when you comment on anything that hits you. But Christina's flub went right over my head...guess I was serving dip and chips to those assembled at my house...but I will tell you what really got me was the piece before actual broadcast began that was a "shout out" and very patriotic and positive for our military....SO....wanted to write back to you again. Can't ever imagine writing anything negative to you even if I disagreed with you. And I for one know you read everything you get and yes, you always answer your fans!

Melissa: So glad to finally hear your words again...and of course, about something that touched us all and that all of us will never forget. But you, as always, have a wonderful and beautiful way of expressing what always seems to be my own thoughts and feelings. I am sorry that it took a sad memory for you to blog to us again...but as I said in the beginning ...so glad to finally hear your words again.

Missy: I'm so glad you're back at it! I know you were busy with classes and work but you've returned with a marvelous piece. Thank you. It was a sad day for all of us. I also remember when Judy Resnick and the rest of her crew were killed, too. These kind of tragedies are etched in our psyches and brains. Thanks again for a wonderful welcome back article. Jody

Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Today, the ability to say 'something' doesn't match the emptiness if the words which are too often shared.
"Friend" is substituted where acquaintance is more defining. Remember may be a heart-full of actuality experienced. As so often with your writing--your reflections are shared and do make a difference. You've been missed. Bernadette

Happy Birthday Melissa! You do not look 49 at all. Maybe 39. Oh it is not so bad getting older. Like I use to hear, if you think and keep active the age you will not feel. The best years are way ahead of you. The deal with the TV as a gift I did some of those things in the past.
Good reading again we missed you.

Happy Birthday and many more.

Frank

You know the old saying: 49 is the new 39. I recently had a mole removed from my face. The scab hasn't fallen off yet. No problem. One of our North Shore seniors just turned 100, and he had his drivers license renewed. Glad to hear life is good.

Happy Birthday, Missy!

Oh, yeahhhh... I can relate. I saw a piece of jewelry yesterday and when salesperson asked if I had a birthday coming up for boyfriend to buy, I said "yes, but I don't know if *that's* what I want from him" (I'll be 47). I laughed and nodded in agreement with your post. Make it a happy and healthy year!
