Ta-Da!  The weekend is here, I did sleep in this morning, thank goodness, (I have not been sleeping very well,) and Winter is melancholy, she is probably upset over Judy's departure.

I am trying to catch up on some chores that are very outstanding, I still have my income tax to complete, and I am behind in my social responsibilities, what can I say?  Not too much, clearly!

Did any of you know that in 2003, the United Kingdom (U.K.) officially recognized SIGN language as an an official language.  Yup, making use of space and involving movement of the hands, body, face, and head,  British Sign Language (BSL) is the preferred language of deaf people in the UK,  and those who communicate with them, such as, relatives and interpreters.  BSL has regional and local dialects, and some signs go in and out of fashion,  or evolve over time, just like spoken words.  Although English is the predominant spoken language in both the UK and United States (U.S.,)  BSL differs from American Sign Language in that it only has about sixty (60) percent similarity.

I think Valerie Harper was excellent as the character, Rhoda, when she (Miss Valerie,) was on The Mary Tyler Moore show.  After Rhoda (Valerie Harper) left The Mary Tyler Moore show to move back to New York City, I did not care very much for the Rhoda character.  You see, Rhoda, on her own,  was good in the half hour segment, but when Rhoda had to carry the entire show, it was way too much responsibility, that is why the show went belly up.

It is time now for all of us to get on with our weekend, I hope you have a good one.

Yes, I'm going to say it, BE SAFE!
