Okay, I thought maybe it was time to review the new TV shows this fall. There are a few I've tried but didn't like - K-Ville, Chuck, Dirty Sexy Money (which I'm glad I didn't like because I don't like the title), and I accidentally saw part of Kid Nation which was terrible. So, the shows I do like:
Cane - This is a great show, probably my favorite of all the new ones. It has a great cast. I love Jimmy Smits and Hector Elizondo (from Pretty Woman), but Ken Howard is a hoot. He was the basketball coach on The Gray Shadow, I think was the name. Anyway, this is one of those shows where the main character is actually a bad guy, but you're still rooting for him.
Reaper - I really tried not to like this one, because I'm watching way too much TV, but I just can't help myself. It is such a cute show. This is one where you can tune in on any episode.
Bionic Woman - So far so good, but I can see it either getting boring or getting better. We'll see what happens.
Back to You - This is one of the best sitcoms I've seen in a while. And I really like Kelsey Grammar.
Women's Murder Club - This was a latecomer, so I've only seen one, but it has great potential. Angie Harmon is a police detective, and the first episode was really interesting.
So I guess this is it. I'm still watching ER, Shark, House, Supernatural, Men in Trees, and Criminal Minds. And then of course there is Y&R every day. I feel like I need to quit my job just so I'll have time to watch everything.

A Few More Pictures
These are a few more pictures from VA Beach. This is King Neptune. It is really cool and bigger than it looks in the picture.
One day we rode up to Yorktown and Jamestown.
Just on the boardwalk watching the sand sculpting.
Handsome guy.
You might need to click on this picture. There are two dolphins in the water. We saw dolphins every day. They would just be swimming up the coast, jumping up out of the water.
This is the sunrise from our room.
We were getting ready to go on the dolphin-watching cruise. There were SO MANY. You could actually lean over the front of the boat (bow?) and see them in the water swimming along with the boat.
I thought this was interesting. If you look really close (click on the picture) you can see this guy on the beach who looks like a toy or something on top of the castle.
It was a fun week!

Playing in the Sand
These are some pictures of the sand sculpting. This is how they started, getting these round or rectangular molds full of sand and water, letting it set and get hard, then taking off the mold. They started on Wednesday and had to be done by Friday. They were all timed, taking breaks at the same time, etc. This was a big contest and these people came from all over the world to compete. This guy is Peter. He is just starting.
Then he had some bad luck. It fell, and he had to start over.
And again, it was timed, and he had lost a whole day, but he did pretty good.
This is Matthew.
He's actually making the holes here with a white tube, just putting wet sand around the tube, then he pulled it out.
Some kind of religious thing with Moses in front and the ark in back.
This is Damon Farmer. He actually has a website. He was posing for me. He is just starting here. What will it be?
This is Rich. This one actually ended up being mine and Bennie's favorite.
And these are the rest, pretty much finished. We had to leave before they were completely done, but, you get the picture.
And th-th-th-that's all folks!

Dancing with the . . .
Not stars. I am almost ashamed to even write this blog, but, well, I've started watching Dancing with the Stars this year. I've never watched it before, but I was curious. This year Marie Osmond and Wayne Newton are two of the dancers, and I wanted to see them. Marie gave somewhat of a PG13 show last night, which kind of surprised me. But she has a lot of "presence" on the stage and seems really comfortable. But Wayne Newton. My gosh. Have you seen this guy? He looks really weird. I guess he's had a lot of plastic surgery done. But he CAN'T DANCE - not a lick, as Thelma Lou says. But so far he has stayed in. So, watch it next week. I think it comes on Monday night. Probably my favorite is the boxer. I think his name is Floyd Mayweather. Anyway, he's like a little boy up there, cute as a button. And also Kelly from 90210 is in it. She's pretty good too.
