My favorite joke about a trousseau.

OK, my ONLY joke about it.

A young woman came back from her honeymoon and her mother went over to the new bride's house the next day to see how it had gone. Her daughter was unpacking and brought out her negligee which had been torn to shreds. The mother was shocked and asked who had done that. The young lady replied that her new husband had caused the damage.

"Didn't he like your trousseau?" asked the mother.

"Oh yes." exclaimed her daughter. "He just liked my torso better than my trousseau, that's why my trousseau is tore so."

Sorbet, You Say?

Of course I am!

Chocolate, not all the other things in the results.

You Are Chocolate

On the surface, you are charming and engaging. People love you, and you're naturally popular. When people dig a bit deeper, they discover your relentless ambitious and drive. You are very goal oriented. You are refreshing because you have impeccable manners and charm. You get along with almost everyone. You have a strong personality, but you keep it under wraps unless the occasion calls for it. Your savvy and intelligence is very cool. People turn to you for what to like and what to do. You have an eye for what is on trend, but you're never intimidating or a snob. You like to share your finds with everyone.

Pride - Syntax

I was flippin' through channels on the TV the other day and caught the last part of a "Bones" episode and this song was playing.  I hadn't heard of the group Syntax and while reading about them, found out this song and others by the group had been used in other television programs and a few movies. 

This is a fan-created video; I didn't find an official video.  Another YouTube video had also been made by a fan that looked like it fit the lyrics, but it wasn't available for embedding.

The Longest Day

Trailer for the classic movie, The Longest Day. One of my favorite war movies, it's chock-full of stars including Richard Burton, Sean Connery, Henry Fonda, Peter Lawford, Roddy McDowall, Robert Mitchum, Robert Ryan, Rod Steiger, Stuart Whitman, John Wayne and many more.



Today is the anniversary of the Normandy landings in 1944, arguably the most important day of WWII. Touring the D-Day beaches is on my bucket list.
