never say die

Happy Goonies Day!

the-goonies According to Facebook, today is the actual day the Goonies from the Goondocks had their adventure into the underground of Astoria, Oregon. I just happen to have watched the film (hey, what else do you do when you're sick, you watch movies!) just this past weekend and I never get tired of it.

The film is one of those movies you always remember. It is up there with Indiana Jones, E.T., and a bunch of other films that I love.

I hear there may be a sequel brewing but, somehow, I doubt it. Do we really need another adventure with them? Don't get me wrong, I would love one to be made, but I also have that feeling that the magic would just die on the vine. Perhaps not.

Well done, Goonies, and I hope to get to the 25th anniversary in June of 2010. Never say die!

buy the book, blog your world, feel like a million bucks

Just in case you didn't know, I co-wrote Blogging For Dummies! Before you send me any congratulations, questions, flowers, or blow me any number of kisses - why don't you go buy ten copies and make me rich and famous.

Or you could just buy a copy since it is a really good book and it has loads of great information for those of you out there who want to jump into blogging because it is fun and exciting.

What else do I do? I talk out loud, record it, and post it on line. I chatter about all kinds of things. Some of the things are nerdy, some professional, and some of them are very much NSFW. Why? Because do them for myself and my non-work life. You can be the judge.
