So lots of people are feeling abandoned now that Lost has shown their final episode. This was one of the strangest theories and story lines for a long running series that I’ve ever seen. You would think that being stranded on an island would be limiting, but these writers were incredibly creative in coming up with bizarre situations for the survivors of the plane crash, years ago. But now it over. whatever we will all be watching in its place?

We all got our census forms and most of us were good doobies and we filled them out and mailed them in. And the clusterfuck of managing all that paperwork began. No one really knows if the census forms were received or not. I know I sent in mine and yet a census worker still showed up at my door asking me to fill out one with her. So now I am in the system twice.

I wonder how many hundreds of thousands of other citizens are in the system twice and why is our government paying all these census workers to gather information that was already sent in? What a waste of time and money.

One of my all time favorite perfumes is made in Bermuda and imported to the U.S. It is very hard to find, but I know of a little store in Alexandria Virginia that specializes in several things imported from Bermuda, and I am hoping they carry the perfume.

I can’t remember the name of that shop, so I am turning to the internet to try to find that shop’s web site or phone number, and worst case, an alternate source for buying the perfume that I want. the fragrance is called Bermudiana and is made from all the native flowers, right there on the island. I can’t wait to get some!

The warm weather has me very excited about cooking outdoors. I have a wonderful 2 burner gas grill that runs on propane. I can use either the little campstove canisters or the big white canisters that get refilled at the convenience stores.

Tonight I am grilling a big salmon fillet along with a large baked sweet potato and grilled corn on the cob. I have not tried to grill salmon before, so I am a little nervous about it. Hope it turns out good – I would much rather stand out on my patio to cook than be cooped up in my tiny kitchen every night.

We are visiting a couple of friends that I met on the internet who live in St. Louis. I’ve never been there, so I’m excited about the trip. Wish we could be there longer than just one weekend, but this is our first meetup with new friends and it makes sense to keep the first one short. If everything works out we can always go back another time.
