Whitney Houston You Will Be Missed!


Whitney Houston was an incredible singer and there will never be anyone like her again. Her career was amazing and was ended way too soon. My condolences go out to her family, friends and fans. My favorite songs of hers were "How Will I Know", "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" and of course "I Will Always Love You!"

Costa Concordia Cruise Ship Sinking


I wanted to give an update on this tragic sinking. There were 4,000-plus passengers and crew aboard and 40-60 passengers are still missing and 9 are dead. At least three bodies were recovered. A Korean honeymoon couple was saved hours after the crash.
The first course had just been served in the dining room and other passengers were at the magic show in the theater. Then the hallways turned upside down, and passengers crawled through the dark and others jumped into the cold Mediterranean Sea.
This is very upsetting and I feel so bad for everyone aboard. I can’t believe this ship was doing what it does 52 times a year, going along the route between Civitavecchia and Savona and it suddenly crashes into a reef now? The captain was an 11-year Costa veteran and that the cruise line was cooperating with Italian investigators to find out what went wrong. The cruise started on Jan 7th and it crashed into a reef late Friday night. It is very strange and scary; the captain abandoned the ship also. I have been on 7 cruises and this is just so surprising to me. I love cruises and can’t believe this has happened. It is like reading about Titanic. I wonder if this is going to discourage people from cruising now?

One Life to Live Officially Ended Today!


I thought the ending was good if it was a Friday episode. I would have rather seen everyone at Vikki’s house with the OLTL music playing like yesterday’s episode. If Trevor St. John and Tomas/Tea move to General Hospital it would be good, but if they don’t the ending was a waste. I thought this week’s episodes were good, but I thought All My Children did it better and the View tribute for them was better too.
I would have liked the whole cast to come out and take a bow the last five minutes. Like have Agnes Nixon and maybe even show them all setting up for the last cast picture above.
I will miss One Life to Live so much and I almost cried when it was over. I still can’t believe it, but hopefully more characters will move on to General Hospital!

Eight Dead After Cruise Ship Starts Sinking!


Eight dead after cruise ship runs aground off Italy
This was a story I just saw on my local news and read on Yahoo. I love cruising and I can't even imagine this happening. It is a very sad story. It was like I was reading the book Titanic. It’s hard to believe these things still happen today, but unfortunately they do. This isn’t going to stop me from going on cruises, but I will worry more when I am on them. Please don’t let this discourage you from cruising either. It is a great vacation and I have had some of the best times of my life on cruise ships and I hope to continue to go on them in the future.
RIP to the eight people
