I'M TRYING NOT TO WORRY.....

DEXTER MORGAN

I've been watching "Dexter" on Showtime. (As a matter of fact, I subscribed to Showtime just so I could watch "Dexter".) It disturbs me a little that I enjoy this show. For those of you who don't know, Dexter is a serial killer. Plus, he works on the police department. He studies blood evidence. The FBI has entered the hunt for the "Bay Harbor Butcher" (what they're calling Dexter). I find myself rooting for Dex. I know I shouldn't hope he gets away with it; but somehow, he's rather endearing. Apparently, it's a very well-written show if I'm rooting for the bad guy. At least that's what I'm telling myself.

I'LL BE GLAD.....

when this year is over. I know you're not supposed to wish you life away, but I can't help it. The second half of 2007 has not been kind to us. Willie's dying would have been more than enough. But, Tony had a heart attack at the end of September. It was a mild heart attack and there was minimal damage.........but the damage was in a really bad spot and a day or so after the attack, his heart stopped. From what we gathered from everyone we talked to, he very nearly died. Meaning, the hospital staff worked on him and came very close to quitting. Add to that the fact that my back has been acting up since May and I'll eventually need some surgery and Shannon's mother-in-law died November 2 after a long and hard-fought battle with cancer. I'm going to try to do better after the first of the year with this blog. By the way.....Tony is doing wonderfully. He saw Dr. Adam yesterday, Nov. 20, and Dr. said he didn't see how Tony could be doing any better than he is. We thank God daily for the miracle of his life.
