From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lady_in_Red_%28Chris_de_Burgh_song%29:
| "The Lady in Red" is a
love
song from
Chris de Burgh's 1986 album
Into the Light. The song was a big hit and reached the number
one position in the UK, Ireland and Norway, and number three in the
United States. The song was written in reference to (though not specifically about) his wife Diane and was released on the album Into the Light. On the British TV series This Is Your Life, de Burgh said that the song was inspired by the memory of when he first saw Diane, and how men so often cannot even remember what their wives were wearing when they first met...[1] |

INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO: Wednesday, June, 25 1862 SMALL SKIRMISH STARTS SEVENDAYS SLAUGHTER It had been preceded by much planning and many maneuvers, but today U.S. Gen. George McClellan was ready to start his great push to Richmond. In the vicinity of the Chickahominy River in the tidewater of Virginia, the Army of the Potomac was ordered to begin moving forward. The left flank, commanded by Gen. Samuel Heintzelman, was ordered out first, in preparation for a general movement of the army. Heintzelman, however ran into men of Confederate Gen. Ben Huger. They fought ferociously enough to stall the entire advance, which was their job. Gen. Lee needed to stall the Federals long enough for Stonewall Jackson’s men to arrive from the Shenandoah Valley. Thursday, June 25, 1863 STUART STARTS SMALL SADDLE SKEDADDLE It seemed like such a logical plan at the time: as the Army of Northern Virginia was moving north on the summer’s great invasion, they knew where they were going. It did not seem that important to have the crack cavalry of Gen. J.E. B. Stuart available to scout ahead; if cavalry were needed, there were other units with the various corps that could do the job. Stuart therefore was given permission to detach his force for another “ride-around” intended to loop entirely around the Army of the Potomac, harassing, alarming and confusing them along the way, while picking up any supplies they came across. It would prove to be a terrible mistake, because the Army of the Potomac was on the move as well. Saturday, June 25, 1864 CRATER CONSTRUCTION CRAFTILY COMMENCED No one set out to construct a crater, of course, but today the digging began on what seemed like a brilliant plan to break through the defenses around Petersburg, the last stand of the Confederate armies in the Eastern Theater. The idea was simple: among the Union army were a great many men who in civilian life had been miners, ditchdiggers, and other experts in excavation. They would dig a tunnel underneath the lines which were far too lethal to come near at ground level. Things were almost as hazardous in the West, where, as one soldier put it in his diary, “Slowly but surely Sherman was weaving a web of fate which would place the rebel army in his power, but it was a fearful sacrifice.” The objective was called Kennesaw Mountain. |

06/24/11 - "Walking":
| Take the time to read
these, I think you will get a good laugh from them. |
The
Importance of walking
My grandpa
started walking five miles a day when he was 60.
The only
reason I would take up walking is so that I could hear heavy breathing
again.
I joined a
health club last year, spent about 250 bucks.
I do have
flabby thighs, but fortunately my stomach covers them.
If you are
going to try cross-country skiing, start with a small country.
We all get
heavier as we get older, because there's a lot more information in our
heads.
You could
run this over to your friends WILD
GIGGLES! Thanks, Eva!
