Sherry's brother, Bob, and his wife, Ellen, came to visit us on Sunday afternoon. They live in Oregon, but travel south in the winter months in their Chevy truck and 34-foot Montana 5th-wheel trailer.

Ellen showed off her iTouch to us. Sherry introduced the iTouch device to her on her last visit and she purchased one soon afterwards. That's the power of cool Apple technology.

I saw this Twilight Zone episode, The Howling Man when it was originally shown in 1960. Over the years I only remembered the dramatic ending, but not that it was a Twilight Zone show. The next time I saw it was during the Twilight Zone Marathon this past New Year's Day. It is a great episode.

My Yahoo Aries Horoscope for 2009:

Pioneering and courageous Aries is being called to times of incredible new growth and renewal. The considerable reflective time you have spent rehashing and deciding which avenue will best serve your highest purpose has shaken you to the very root of your personal belief systems. Through surrendering to your higher self, new realizations and golden opportunities you never thought possible are brilliantly opening up for you.

Your new commitment to self has given you a renewed appreciation of the your divine wisdom and accomplishments. The understanding you have radiates love and compassion, and is attracting your highest good. As your creative spirit soars, the excitement you feel helps you submit to the larger purpose and vision gained in your dreamtime. You are easily able to bring your work out into the world with clarity and purpose. Your heart's desires are quickly manifesting right before your eyes and you are able to reap long-standing benefits as you detach from the past and are catapulted forward.

Because of your humanitarian ideals and desire to be a helper in our emerging world, be careful not to fall into old patterns of helping others fulfill their needs rather than taking care of your own. As you grow, people are drawn to your altruistic ideas and your visionary and compassionate personality.

In spite of your good endurance and concentration, remember to take care of yourself on an everyday basis to maintain wholeness and integration. Finding a good physical outlet for your frustrations is important so that you don't deplete your energy and prevent yourself from getting what you really want. Enjoyment is the fundamental desire of your life, and you are able to create the life you enjoy.
