With the recent death of Michael Jackson there has been a resurgence of his music on the radio, downloaded on iTunes and yes, even playing on MTV. It’s been total MJ madness! In my lifetime, I can’t remember such media frenzy take over the world—ever.

My car had been dirty for so long that when it was washed, waxed, and vacuumed this weekend, it seemed like a new car. I can't believe I rode around all this time in such a filthy car.

As you can imagine, within weeks the lovely vibrant colors of pinks and purples collide against the evergreen shrubs and make for a gorgeous rainbow of color.
