Hello, my friends. It's been frigid the last few nights. I hope your orange trees are surviving.

You guys should check out John Legend's new album, "Once Again". Unlike many albums, there are many great tracks. It's phenomenal. I personally like "Each Day Gets Better", "P.D.A.", and "Again", among other cuts. If you're an R&B fan, you'll definitely dig it. If you're not, you should broaden your musical tastes. Go to the iTunes store and listen to it. If you don't have iTunes or an iPod, it's time to go to TARGET and get one.

I watched "The Last Kiss" yesterday. It stars Zach Braff (from "Scrubs") and Rachel Bilson (wow!). It's an interesting film about relationships. More specifically, it's about how several characters deal with failed or failing relationships. Breakups, separations, divorces, you name it.

There's a situation in which Braff is tempted by a much younger, hot college girl (Bilson). But he already has a long-time girlfriend with a baby on the way. Live a "normal" life with less surprises, but is good and secure? Or find out if the new excitement is meant to be pursued? I won't spoil it, watch it yourself.

[By the way, he met her at a wedding. I have yet to attend a real-life wedding that mimics Hollywood films like this and "Wedding Crashers". Just thinking out loud.]

...which reminds me...to live life to the fullest, no regrets. Look toward the future, but seize the moment. Because sometimes you only get one chance to act. When the next big thing or person comes along, go for it. If it's worth it, nothing or no one can stop you.

Holler.
