LOL<br /><br />Anyway, your son is an amazing artist and I love the selections in your home. I think art let's people know who you are inside. <br /><br />I get my art from everywhere. My mom handed down some of it, but I also get it from Goodwill, antique and thrift stores... if it speaks to me I buy it, just like you suggested. I absolutely love landscapes and art with people in them or animals. I have quite a few pictures with fruit and flowers in them too.<br /><br />xoxo,<br />rue<br />Ruehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12110133467260748245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271774955726839804.post-45424880291137887062015-02-21T12:36:48.144-08:002015-02-21T12:36:48.144-08:00The original sounded good to me!

Believe me, I can never sit in front of the game for the full game, let alone, pre- and post- coverage. And I am SO glad you mentioned shakespeare. I just watched a terrific PBS show explaining 'King Lear' and interviewing actors who have played the role. I have never truly understood or appreciated it until watching that show. I am now convinced that King Lear is the most brilliant piece of writing out there to capture the emotional trauma of a parent faced with the unimaginable - rejection of a child. Now I know who to come to discuss Shakespeare!

Maybe the worst team in the NFL! LOL.<br /><br />Thanks for your compliments on the oven. I definitely spent way too much time cleaning it! I took both doors off, unscrewed and cleaned all four glass windows for each oven, cleaned the inside of both ovens, then reassembled the whole thing. It really did take all day, but on the plus side, I am now qualified as a Maytag oven cleaning and repair specialist!

This year though, like you, I was working on the house, so I only caught the beginning, the halftime and the very end. We had 10 bucks riding on the Patriots, so I'm glad they won, but normally I couldn't care less. I'm a Bears fan from way back in 1985 :)<br /><br />The oven looks great!

Loved you comment! First ...Hello there Anonymous. Loved you comment! First about the ovens. Thanks for the compliment on its looks. And it is a dream to use. I highly recommend mine, which is a Maytag.<br /><br />Now for the fun part of you comment about sports. I am on the fence about whether Tom Brady knew, but as you said, the Patriots do have that history of cheating, so Brady probably did know. He must be pulling a 'Lance Armstrong' on us. BTW, if you have not seen 'Lance Armstrong: Stop at Nothing', drop everything and watch it. OK, that was a little strong, but watch it at your earliest opportunity. One of the most powerful documentaries I have ever seen, it covers sports, cheating not just by Lance, but involvement of the whole sport marketing machine, all the way up to when announcements were made during Obama's campaign for president! I made both my boys watch it and they were 'blown away'. <br /><br />As you can see, I really do enjoy all the sports 'backstories' and it really has been fun. I highly recommend it as a way to connect with boys. One last thing, my key to success has been watching ESPN and taking a daily look at the ESPN website. That will get you up to speed asap. LOL.

The Patriots have a long history of cheating.<br /><br />It's very ingenious (and sneaky in a way only a mother could pull off) to want to learn about sports so you could have more conversations with your sons. Great thinking! And it's funny that you actually became a fan in the process.
