2013.
Happy New Year to everyone. It seems as tho time is moving quicker than ever. What happened this last year? It all seemed like one big political campaign that went on and on. Sometimes, lately, I feel like it is still going on. The arguing and the going to get nowhere Congress that keeps us in waiting. Don't get me wrong, I love Obama and am good with the direction we are going in now and really he has not much control over Congress. I always felt bad for him as  he was left with the worst economy our nation has seen in decades. As long as it all keeps going in a positive direction we will always be o.k. We are the United States of America and I do believe we will always move forward.
Sade! Wow! What a concert this last year! Amazing world tour. The visuals,the sound. Amazing. The talent was truly out of this world. From the dramatic opening to the final goodbye as she exited the stay the way she entered the stage. If you can, get yourself the Blue Ray DVD of the concert. It is called "Bring Me Home' Live 2011. I saw it at the Honda Center in Anaheim 2012. A great DVD, especially if you own a good sound system for viewing. The tour was one of the top grossing tours of 2011-2012.
 Movies. "Lincoln" was a wow as well. A slower,intelligent film based around a huge change in our United States. Amazing performances. I was riveted and moved. each actor was a 10. Daniel Day Lewis,Sally Field,Tommy Lee Jones etc..James Spader, the list goes on. In my opinion this is the Movie of the Year. Also, Lewis is best actor. If he wins..he will have won 3 Oscars.
I saw "Argo, Les Miserables, and Silver Lining Playbook" All of them excellent but only one has kept me in thought.."Lincoln."
I hope the year brings health and happiness to all. May all your dreams come true.
