I am doing the Weight Watchers Plan and have at least a bushel of oranges since the weekend. I cannot weigh in until Sunday but feeling very healthy. The new program allows all fruits and most veggies to be recorded as zero points! Yay!
We visited with Aunt Jean and Rick and Colleen (friends of Jean's from Madison) both Friday night and Saturday afternoon and they are a delightful couple. We had a lovely time talking with them.
We watched the DVD,
Margin Call, with Kevin Spacey and found it interesting but slow moving. We would recommend it. It is about the financial crisis, and I think it is based on the demise of Bear Sterns.
However, what has occcupied a lot of our thoughts recently has been the terrible situation with the Costa Concordia. We are amazed at the irresponsible captain of that ship and hope he spends lots of itme in jail. I still cannot believe he "saluted" the tiny island of Giglio and put all those people in jeopardy and now 29 are missing with 6 confirmed dead. How horrible. One report said he left the ship before the evacuation even began and hailed a cab. My oh my, how can a person get this far into a nautical career and be so crazy and cowardly? I am glued to the news to get more details about this as we plan our next cruise for Winter, 2013! We will be going with the Palmers but not sure exactly where in the Caribbean.

| Delta IV launch From Canaveral |
Ryan's rocket, the Delta 4, will launch from Cape Canaveral at 7:38 on Thursday night and we'll be able to see it from Jean's place, we think. I'll try to get pictures, but I doubt I really can capture much. Here is a professional shot.
Health department news is fine. . no problems. Trying to bike each day either outdoors or inside with the stationary bike. WW is a good motivational program. You get points each day that you perform an activity like this so you can eat more. . .ha!
More later,
Peggy
