Every once in a while I just have to be random. So today's blog post has no real theme other than stuff I dig at the current moment. Ready?
1. This song. It's beautiful, touching, and it has a great groove.
2. Holy Week. Palm Sunday through Easter. The most important and reverent week of the church year.
3. Great sports. It's an awesome time for fans, with the NCAA tournament finals and baseball's opening day occurring in the same week!
4. Rain. April showers bring May flowers, you know. Rain is sexy, soothing, pleasant. Don't be a hater. Rain gives sunshine its glory.
5. Working out. I would like to tell you that the chick in the photo is me, but no. At least not yet. But it feels so good to push my body and see and feel results.
6. Upcoming trips. We're headed to San Francisco to celebrate Susan's 40th birthday in a week, and I'm off to Jacksonville in May to visit a guy I haven't seen in more than 15 years. Any tips for fun things to do in either destination?
7. Tax refund. Thanks, Uncle Sam. I know this money could have been in my pocket all along, but I sure do love seeing that big deposit on my bank statement.
8. Feminine florals. I'm all about girly dresses right now. If only the weather would cooperate, so I could flutter around in something like this!
9. Trinchero cabernet sauvignon. My favorite wine, hands down. Just has this mellow afterglow that is so fantastic!
10. Must-see TV. Several of my shows are getting sooooo good! Thank God for the DVR!
So what's striking your fancy these days?

"Rain gives sunshine its glory."
What an awesome thing to say. I'm going to remember that one, Beth!
Your No. 8 fluttering around in feminine florals reminds me of another quotable, by Robert Herrick. "Whenas in silks my Julia goes/Then, then, methinks how sweetly flows/That liquefaction of her clothes." I always thought "that liquefaction of her clothes" was the perfect way to describe a woman on a breezy spring day in a silk dress. (As for Verse 2 of that poem . . . well, let's just not go there. It's V1 that counts!)

Is that Jacksonville, Fla? That is is my neck of the woods so to speak! Some of my favorite places near Jax are
Cumberline Island, where JFK,jr. was married, Fernadina Beach and Jeykll Island and there is always the Landings in Jax. Have Fun!
