Eyes Upon You!
Have you ever been in the floor of a stadium or areana and realize when you look up every seat is angled toward you. I have been lucky enough to be in many stadiums form the Rose Bowl to the Super Dome and many in between when the stadiums were filled to capacity. It is a very cool yet surreal moment that one can hardly forget. If you have never been in this situation before you can only imagine the feeling. If you have, please share that which you felt; was it over whelming or a cool experience allowing you to take in all in?

Candiates and there 'Body Language"
It's what they are saying with other parts of their body, not just their mouth. Article below states some hints of interpretation from posture and body movements. (linked in title)
..... a system called Laban Movement Analysis can also explain what many American voters register only subconsciously when watching presidential candidates talk and move.
One example comes from how Sen. McCain and Sen. Obama take different approaches to gesturing. McCain uses directional gestures that suggest bridging a gap, while Obama's shaping gestures that suggest accommodation, the analysts say.
McCain also sometimes adopts a right-left style of walking where he shifts his weight - not unlike a cowboy swagger if taken to extremes, Studd noted. That contrasts with Obama's more centered movement where he swings the opposite arm with the opposite leg.
Obama's free flow approach may have its advantages, especially when it comes to public appearances where the candidates face hard questions.
"John McCain is ill at ease a lot, and Obama is rarely ill at ease although he's put on the spot," Bradley said. "John McCain sometimes looks like he's looking for the door, so he needs to work on that."
I wonder if they can tell who I'm voting for by my body language....
Saturday Morning Comics
A woman is standing, looking in the bedroom mirror. She is not happy with what she sees and says to her husband, 'I feel horrible; I look old, fat and ugly. I really need you to pay me a compliment.'
The husband replies, 'Your eyesight's damn near perfect'.

Business as ususal
Sometimes you get so busy, blogging becomes a lower priority.
My posts have been slowed due to higher demand of my time and attention.
But all is good and we now resume our regularly scheduled programming.
