I just finished reading something in the recent People magazine about some 1980's bands that are re-grouping and going out on tour again. What a scream! The one that I already knew about was Duran Duran. What I think is amusing is that they have been together all this time minus, of course, a few original members. But that was a good thing. If they hadn't of split up, John Taylor might not have a nose by now due to his old coke habit.

The best part is that finally Simon LeBon looks good again. He looks like his old self.
He was doing something totally horrible for a while there. He was downright ugly! I couldn't stand it!

If you don't know, I was totally and completely in love with Simon. He stole my heart and kept me away from making huge mistakes with a few boys while I was in high school!
So here's to my smashing older man. May he always be in command of a stage somewhere. If I find myself in front of that stage one of these days...I'll keep a lighter in my purse in case "Save A Prayer" is on the play list...

It's now the middle of July! Oh my gosh! Time does fly especially in the summertime! It's going to be August soon and that means my birthday! Yahoo! This year I will be another year older. Hopefully wiser. Definitely in possession of more gray hair although none that will ever been seen by the public.

Usual things going on...searching for a new cell phone carrier, talking to my sister, Cindy, sitting in the sun while watching the kids play. It's tough. Of course, the maid never shows up so I have to ALSO clean the house. Darn that woman!

I wanted to tell you about my ex-husband, Bryan Adams. I have loved him since I was in high school. I have all his albums on tape and cd (no small feat considering the first album I searched two continents for a copy on cd!)

Anyway I use to say he was my next husband. Everyone would just laugh about that. Ha ha! Right. So I was telling someone this one time and one of their friends leaned over and said "What did you say?"
I said "He is my ex-husband" and that girl looked at me like I was a celebrity or something. She kept asking me about Bryan and all this stuff.
I just said in a quivering voice "It's so hard for me to talk about him sometimes, please stop with the questions." Of course, I was all teary eyed.

It was terribly amusing and ever since then, Bryan has become my "ex-husband". I don't think he minds too much. I saw him on my birthday in 1997 - I was right next to him in the FRONT ROW and he winked at me so I think he understands. I hope he's amused too. He is a great singer/songwriter. Still my all time favourite. He was the best birthday present I have ever received up to that point.

UPDATE:  Now in 2019 I have been blessed to see Bryan again and again with my husband, Patrick.  He loves him or maybe he just loves indulging my love for Bryan.  Whichever it is, it makes me happy.
