Well, I have not heard from Melissa, so I assume she is getting ready for Cassandra’s Memorial this weekend. I am sure it will be very hard, yet joyful to celebrate such a wonderful person’s life. She has touched many. If Melissa writes about the memorial’s (I think there are a couple) I will for sure let you know.
Let’s talk TV, 2010 –
Let’s start with Oprah. I heard the funniest thing the other day. I didn’t watch Oprah, but I heard a thing on the Radio, Tina Fey and the guy from the Office were on Oprah promoting their new movie Date Night. They wanted to interview Oprah, so one of the questions Tina asked was – If you could ask anyone in the universe/world, living or dead to dinner… what would you eat? Of course Oprah, thought that was hilarious, and said, well… I guess I would ask Jesus and we would have Fried Chicken. Was that a perfect answer or what… she was pretty quick with that one. I was thinking, Who would I want to have dinner with… well I guess Jesus would be the best answer… I would have sooooo many questions to ask. Fried Chicken is good, but I have to stay faithful to my Hamburgers and French Fries, and of course some wine, Jesus would enjoy that :}
Now, what is up with Survivor – are these people silly or what? If they don’t vote Russell out this week… he better win… he is the guy that you love to hate… He drives me nuts, what he says and all but he is so dang entertaining and smart, you don’t want him to get voted off, but really he needs to go if anyone else wants to win. I liked Boston Rob too… It would have been so good if Boston Rob and Russell would have been the final two.
Criminal Minds, I love the show, but it is creepy. Some of the shows on there are whoa… it is hard to watch. Where do they get these ideas.
American Idol, Thank goodness everyone had a good week this week, I was beginning to wonder if any of them were really that good to win. I love Crystal though, I would buy her album, I think she will win. She hasn’t missed a beat yet. I think all performed well this week too.
Finally, the Good wife. This is the best show on TV… the only show, that Guy and I watch together and I can’t miss it. All the other ones… I can miss and watch later… that’s about it for now. Gotta go.
Later gater -

I knew Cassandra from the Wounded Warriors unit in San Diego, CA. The first time I met her was when I accompanied my son Lcpl Paielli for chemotherapy at the Naval Hospital where Cassandra was being treated also. This young woman made a very big impression on me. In between my trips back and forth from California to Michigan I constantly asked Nate how she was doing. I happened to be in San Diego when she went to be with the Lord. I was very saddened to hear of her passing and all of her fellow Marines from the Wounded Warriors Unit were affected by her passing. She will be greatly missed. What a fighter and inspiration to us all. My deepest sympathies are with her family whom I never had the pleasure of meeting. May God comfort you all in your loss.
