I'm sad and I need your help.

Now you're probably wondering why this would make me sad, right? Well, it's the last season of The Gilmore Girls and I just finished watching it. And where did I watch it?

Right here. Want a better shot?

That's right... I rigged up the portable DVD player on my treadmill and watched all seven seasons while exercising. This series actually made me WANT to get on the treadmill. Have you ever heard of such nonsense? I would watch 1 and a half episodes which usually took me about 4.5 miles.

How do I describe the series? Let's see...it is sharp and witty with such fast paced dialogue you really have to concentrate to keep up. Lots of references to pop culture, politics, social commentary, etc. It's all about family, relationships, (especially mother/daughter) and friendships, with the most quirky side characters. All told with humor and love. I can't say enough good things about it and I'm so sad that I've finished the series. If you've never seen it, you might like to start watching. But beware, as you might get hooked like I did.

Now I'm in a quandry... What to watch next? I need something that will really pull me to the treadmill. Let me know what series does (or has done) that for you. I need to find something new. I'm going to borrow Season 1 of "24" from my friend Brenda but I've seen the rest of the seasons so, after that, I'll be anxious to find something else.

So, since I'm so sad, I'll end this with those occasional pictures of Miss Emma which always cheer me up. We were in Seattle last week playing with her.
A short moment of contemplation.

Papa taught her how to do "thumbs up". (She loves her hats!)

Hmmm, what could be so interesting?

Why trikes, of course. Guess we better go outside and ride one!

A happy Emma makes a happy Grammy!
