February 3 - amazing that this is the anniversary of this ‘day that music died’ – the plane crash in Cedar Lake Iowa that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and the Big Bopper, J. P. Richardson. Waylon Jennings gave his seat on that flight to Richardson, who was running a fever. Sadly we hear that Waylon Jennings is haunted to this day about that twist of fate. Fifty years ago today: 1959. Wished we all could have been at the commemorative concert.

And then Don McLean’s landmark 1971 tune “American Pie” forever identify the tragedy of the Day the Music Died), Buddy Holly was just 22, and he is the shortest-lived artist ever to win a Grammy for lifetime achievement. Some say Buddy Holly was the model for the Beatles. So please remember these legends today for just a moment. Everyone, pace yourself and I will do same. Adios

‘Mornin! Today the chatter is all about resolutions! So the operational procedure is that we should not make any, then we don’t break any! Interestingly enough, the most petite gal I talked with today told me her resolution was to lose weight! I think we all are in awe of Marie Osmond and Valerie Bertinelli! Wow, they both look terrific! Small portions and eating on smaller plates is a great guideline. Unfortunately cold weather goes with a hot bowl of chili – LOL And I am focusing on just living smarter-er: eating a salad a day as my main guideline – gotta look great in skinny jeans! Let’s be healthy in 2009 and eat sensibly! Get healthy! Stay healthy! pace yourself and I will do same. Adios
