Good Afternoon,
The George W. Bush Presidential Library opens today in Dallas, Texas.
The last thing this person needs is his own library.
(I am told all of the living presidents were there, including Daddy Bush, as he is sometimes referred to).
I first heard this reference at a small-town newspaper in Texas.
Also...
The Dallas Convention Center will be re-named "asap" in honor of Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Really: the last thing this person needs is her own convention center.
Music:
I am digging The Donnas. This is because of an old album (2004).
Thank you for reading. Exciting changes abound at North Dallas Homegirl.
THE END.
Alice

Books: The New Drug!
I am longing to just read a book. Just to read for an hour, without doing anything else.
This is hard in our day and age.
Last year, (Yes, last year!) I had an extra hour or so before I had to go back to work one day.
I went to Half Price Books and just read for 15 minutes, without looking at my phone or being distracted.
Why was this so satisfying? Because I was so used to having distractions.
I am sad for the residents of West, Texas. There was a plant explosion there. I have been to this very, very, very small town.
The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon will be run on April 28. This is an image sent by marathon organizers, which honors the victims of the Oklahoma City bombing. Yes, today is the anniversary.
THE END.

3 Quotes That May Or May Not Inspire You
The other day I ran in a 1/2 marathon. I saw a couple of runners that had a shirt that said, basically,
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Ok, I guess it's Phillipians 4:13.
It's not some made-up quote.
The point: Wow, I thought. If I only had a shirt that said that, I could instantly do all things ... like win the lottery?
(There is no dis intended for any church-going friends).
New topic.
Here are 3 quotes, all worth bearing in mind.
I am writing this because I want to share something positive today.
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Famous prayer.
The principle is competing against yourself. It's about self-improvement, about being better than you were the day before.
Steve Young, a famous football player.
This was passed on to me by my friend Gloria. Thanks! Read her blog. Do it now.
And:
Do not think of your fault; still less of others' faults. Look for what is good and strong and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off like dead leaves when their time comes.
John Ruskin, an art critic during the 1800s and overall cool philosopher.
The end.
Have a good Tuesday.
Thanks for reading my little blog.

Livin' On A Prayer ... Whoa Oh
The blog is 100 percent unfiltered.
Remember: there is a Bon Jovi concert tomorrow at 7:30 at the American Airlines Center in Dallas. I am not the hugest fan of Bon Jovi, but it's neat that they are still active with concerts.
In case you want more info on Slippery When Wet--don't know why you would--here is the link.
THE END.
