Karen’s Opinion

I finished free motion quilting on my sister’s quilt. I kept tearing out stitching because I could not get the tension set correctly on my machine. I also had to slow down and let the stitches not get big or pull. The back side of the quilt looked awful a few times so out those stitches would come. I think I went to bed at midnight again!

Oh wow! Do you see that picture? I just found out that The Police are starting a worldwide tour!!! I love them! I used to sing along the radio as I listened to their songs. I can still remember watching the General Hospital soap opera and seeing Luke and Laura rendezvous with The Police singing Every Breathe You Take in the background. Oh my goodness were those some hot love scenes! Seeing the band reunite on the 2007 Grammys, and how “Roxanne” still sounds amazing for a 30 year old song sets the standard for young bands of today to live up to. The Police commercialized “Punk rock” and made brilliant pop at the same time.

Of course we all know how Sting fared from the success of this marvelous band. When drummer, Stewart Copeland hit the sticks it was crazy! Who can forget the twangy raggae sounds of Andy Summers playing. The new sounds he invented threw us curves just when we began to settle in. Thinking The Police were settling into a niche was plain crazy! Their sound was always changing.

Oh for the chance to see this great band in concert again! An arm? A leg! Right kidney? Pleaaaaseeee!

Look at all these great songs from the police cd! I’ll bet I can sing along with all of them. But, uh no, I won’t. I promise! But I will be wearing my The Police t-shirt!

Was I the only one who noticed that Isaiah Washington had a public service announcement during last nights show, Grey’s Anatomy? It had to do with how words hurt. I never did find out what all the ruckuss was about a few months ago when the media was telling about a fight on the set but didn’t give out names. I wonder if he made a gay remark to T.R. Knight. hmmmm??

Many of you have heard me say that my daughter is a pirate wannabe. It is true! She loves all things pirate. I have wanted to get her a pirate flag and I am so excited because I found a website where I can order one! Pirate flags actually tell a story about the ship they are associated with. The pirate flag, also know as the Jolly Roger or the skull and crossbones, was flown by pirates to induce fear and panic in the ships they attacked. This website has the Jolly Roger in two different weights. The standard pirate flag is made of a durable superknit polyester. The other pirate flags are in standard polyester, which are less durable. The flags are available in different sizes, colors and have different characters like the Deaths Head and the Pirate mouse. I’m picking the heavier one in the Jolly Roger style. She is going to go crazy when she sees this flag!

Stacy called a few days ago and she was so excited. She got to see their helicopters take off and land in a formation that they rarely do because not all 5 helicopters are usually there. She got pictures with her cell phone. I had just ordered the software to download pictures for our cell phones! I hurriedly got the software in the mail to her so I could see what she was all excited about.
