Start your year off with 'True Grit'

Westerns have always been my favorite genre of films. I grew up in the age of 'Rawhide', 'Wagon Train', 'Have Gun, Will Travel', and 'Bonanza'.  I was in love with Clint Eastwood's 'Rowdy Yates' and Michael Landon's 'Little Joe'.

Back in 1969 a western was released that starred John Wayne and Glen Campbell.  It was a big success at the box offive if for no other reason than it starred John Wayne.  But let me tell you.  The 2010 version of 'True Grit' is a movie not to be missed.  If you haven't seen it, run and see it before it leaves the theaters.  It's an extremely funny and entertaining movie.  I know now that when it comes out on DVD or Pay Per View, I've got to make sure my dad sees it.  Mister and I saw it last night and we've both already said that we'd be willing to see it again.  And I've got to have the Sound Track CD!

There's no sex!  Only about 3 or 4 curse words but you'd expect that from a dirty ol' cowboy marshall.  They are appropriate for the characters and not spoken for the sake of adding vulgarity.  Of course, there's the expected shoot 'em up, cowboy violence.  This movie has stood the test of time.  Jeff Bridges is a wonderful Rooster Cogburn.  And Matt Damon is a very likable Texas Ranger LaBouef.

Happy New Year to all of you.  My faithful and dear blogger friends.  How blessed I am to have all of you in my blogging life.

I don't make a habit of making resolutions for the new year but one thing I hope I will be able to commit to and hold to is that I will resume my faithfulness to my blog and to all of you.  You have been such a positive influence in who I am and how I think that I want to reacquaint myself with you.  So look for me to return in full force.  You know.  When you get away from this for a while, it's difficult to get your mind set to write and compose. So I'm already thinking and I'll be back.

It's supposed to be 68 degrees here in Augusta today.  The sun is shining and it's a beautiful day for the last of 2010.  I can't help but to think about all the people who are experiencing either the flooding or the snow in areas of our country.  My prayers are with those people who are experiencing such horrible conditions that they have no control over.  I can't even imagine what they're going through. 

Anybody doing anything exciting tonight?  We're not.  Probably just go out to dinner somewhere and maybe catch a movie.  All in all, Q U I E T is what we're hoping for.  We've invited the girls and their families to come and maybe watch the ball drop in Time Square on TV. That's enough.  I'm content to sit and watch all the football bowl games.  Alabama plays Michigan State tomorrow so that's a must for me and Mister.  Him being an alumni of Alabama, you know.

Well, the day carries on and so must I.  I hope all of you have a great day as we wind down one more year.  2011 will bring us things we can't imagine.  I'm sure of it.

Happy New Year to all of you. 

Be safe in whatever you do to celebrate.

See you next year.
