Emma - I place this one near the bottom, not because it is so unworthy (I named my lovely daughter Emma, in fact), but because it seems so different from the above mentioned titles. Emma is a flawed character, more than most of Austen's heroines. But still I love Emma, she learns so much about herself, and longs to become a better person. Don't we all, I ask? As for the movies, I personally love Gwyneth Paltrow's Emma, although they cut out a few parts. Kate Beckinsale did a nice Emma, but they added some stuff I could have done without. Even the silly, but sweet update, "Clueless," is worth a look. Alicia Silverstone is so very Emma.
Have you ever been walking down the street and suddenly got a hunch to walk to the other side of the street or turn into a store or speed up your walking speed? Have you ever met somebody and instantly liked them or instantly mistrusted them - not based on anything in particular other than your gut feeling?
Have you ever got the strong hunch to call somebody? I remember one instance in particular. I got the hunch to call my maternal grandmother on a Friday. I was rather busy and decided to wait until Monday when I would have more time to talk. She died on Saturday. I always regretted that I did not follow through on that hunch.
If you fail, all that happens is that you go work for the aforementioned 40-something in corporate, take your 401(k) that won't make you rich, your 5,000 stock options and a health care plan that won't charge you a penny, in case you're ever in a 30-traffic pile up.
Highway 64 runs east and west and is the easiest way to get from Chattanooga, TN to Murphy, Hayesville and the Casino in Cherokee, NC. Crews are not only blasting rock and removing it from the site, they are trying to stabilize the mountain, "trying" is the operative word. The folks who live in Ducktown and Copper Hill, TN are basically cut off from civilization. The small towns are now ghost towns, but that is a future Olympic event and is still in the planning stages.
Be careful with loud radios and music. Once click here had music playing loudly and I did not hear emergency vehicles around me. I could have collided with one of them. From that time on, I always kept my music to a moderate level.
The final par five on this track is one that could be reached in two, but only if you can bend your tee ball to the left to curve around an S-shaped fairway. Anything less and trees lining the right side will block any hope of getting home in two. Despite a scenic route by Hansard, a great approach allowed him to regain two strokes with a birdie, with yet another up and down attempt coming up short on my end.
The bad weather has lead to the canceling of sporting events. The Houston Astros at the Chicago Cubs MLB game scheduled for Wednesday has been postponed until a later date. Just last weekend, snow kept the Seattle Marines and Cleveland Indians from playing games for four consecutive days in the city of Cleveland. The Cleveland Indians decided to move their home games to another location until the conditions were better. They took their home stand against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim to Milwaukee's enclosed baseball diamond.
