I am trying to be more aware of the news these day, so I wanted to just take a few moments and share with you a couple of things that have caught my eye recently.
I attended the University of Georgia in Athens, and I love UGA. I'm not a big football person. However, I so admire Anna Watson, one of the school's current cheerleaders, who obviously has a good attitude about her sport and her life, and what's important. She turned down a lucrative career as a model. Why? "A modeling agent wanted her to use Anavar, a legal anabolic steroid to help her gain up to 50 pounds of muscle. Worried about the effects on her body when she decides to have kids, Watson passed."
One of my all-time favorite movies is Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was the first videotape I got in 1986 after I got my first VCR. I can watch it and quote the lines. I was very amused to see that Matthew Broderick is shilling for Honda in a Ferris Bueller spoof ad that will air during the Super Bowl. I don't even know who's playing in the Super Bowl, nor do I care. Matthew is messing with a legend though, and that makes me a tad uncomfortable.
You remember my post about Anthony, the young man who was walking across America, from Charleston to San Diego? Well, he did it. Good for him. Anthony is a remarkable young man, and I wish him well on his adventures.
Years ago, I worked with Judge C.J. Becker at Chambers Mabry law firm here in Atlanta. I liked CJ. She started as a legal secretary, then became a paralegal, then went to law school and became a lawyer. However I hate this story about a credit card scammer who won't do any jail time. If you do the crime you need to do some time, first offender or not.
