IN REMEMBRANCE…..

I sit here thinking about how last year we sat waiting  and watching Katrina come closer to our

shorelines and wondering what exactly the damage was to be. Liitle did we know then that so

much would occur. A whole year later and some neighborhoods don’t look like they

have been touched. They sit as empty reminders.People’s lives were destroyed, people were displaced and towns were virtually wiped off the map. Promises were made and some kept, but more not.

 

People vowed to come back to their cities and start over. Red tape and lack of funds stopped

all that. Insurance companies failed to pay for flood damages due to the levee’s breaking.

Hearts broke all over the country watching this whole national tragedy unfold. I never will

forget Oprah taking her show inside the Superdome where the people were, against their

advice, to see the "real" tragic story of those who lived and died there.

A small boy in the done staying with his family said it all.."AMERICA WE NEED HELP…WHATCHA GONNA DO?"

 

We raised money, and we gave time and blood and supplies and still more was needed. Still

more IS needed.  We will bounce back..it may take years, but we will survive. The country

won’t forget. The news will keep us up to date on progress and the lack of it.

 

THIS WEEK I DEDICATE MY BLOG TO THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND THOSE WHO TRIED TO

SAVE THE SUFFERING THOUSANDS. MAY THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN WATCH OVER THEM. 

 

24 WINS THE EMMY!!!

                 

 

 

 

 

 

  My favorite show 24 walked away with at least 4 Emmy’s tonight..one for best drama and one for Kiefer Sutherland who plays Jack Bauer, two other technical Emmy’s.. If you haven’t watched this show..YOU SHOULD!! I was so thrilled that Kiefer finally won for his outstanding performance playing a guy who saves the USA from terror in every season. If you watch the first two hours of this show..I think you will agree with me. It is sitting on the edge of your seat TV. It will be shown on Monday nights on FOX TV starting in January. I wish it were earlier..but it’s worth the wait..you see..they don’t re-run the show (usually) and so we get one show right after the other. I can hardly wait.   If you don’t watch this show you dont know JACK!!!  He is worth getting to know. 

 

LETS talk about how the tribute to Dick Clark which was very well done and his speech was wonderful. He was unnerved at the fact that people stood during his introduction as a tribute to him. I was happy to see them acknowledge his long career while he was alive to enjoy it!  The fact that the original "CHARLIE’S ANGELS" all showed up on stage together was wonderful. They looked great and their speeches were also very caring and appreciative of Aaron Spelling and what he did for each of their careers. I noticed that a lot of emmy winners were in the HBO, or cable category now. So many I hardly recognized because I never see them, no wonder the major network shows did so poorly. Most of the better made shows are always on cable now. It is the way of the world I guess. The one time my jaw just dropped open was when the elegant Candice Bergen walked out on stage in something that I just had to say out loud..WHAT WERE YOU THINKING!!!  I love a show that ends on time..and this one did…they made Dick Clark proud!
