First my pants, since I usually don't get dressed unless I have to go out and I would be embarrassed to be without them. Second a jacket, since it's pretty cold this time of year. Third my pills, because my health is very important to me. Fourth would be the keys to my truck, I dislike walking too far. Fifth, hmmmm, uhhhh, alright my laptop computer to give me something to do until I could get back home again.

Perseis Meteor Shower

Surely you must be kidding! I can't imagine standing around gazing into the sky when there is money to be made online. I would much rather gaze into my monitor looking for one more opening to add to my collection of ways to get noticed by the thousands of people suffering from the effects of this terrible economy.

Even if I were lucky enough to see an amazing once in a lifetime event like a meteor shower or the Northern Lights, the ultimate outcome of my life would not be altered one bit. However, if I found another way to get my message to those desperately seeking help it could change BOTH our lives for the better.

So for the daydreamers and stargazers in the world, I say enjoy yourself and I truly hope you fulfill your dreams, but I am going to go do something about it.

Since I sing in a barbershop quartet, it's the busiest day of the year. We average delivering 35 singing valentines every year, where we sing two love songs, hand them a box of chocolates and a flower with a card for $45. It's great to see the faces of both sides, especially when it's a surprise.

The lady in this photo is a 101 year old we sang for.
