It has been a long time since I have posted here. Life and times have been crazy with the markets tanking, the housing market tanking, and numerious wars. Then today I saw an article linked below.

From the article: Mexico is one of two countries that "bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse," according to a report by the U.S. Joint Forces Command on worldwide security threats.
The command's "Joint Operating Environment (JOE 2008)" report, which contains projections of global threats and potential next wars, puts Pakistan on the same level as Mexico. "In terms of worse-case scenarios for the Joint Force and indeed the world, two large and important states bear consideration for a rapid and sudden collapse: Pakistan and Mexico.
The thought of the collapse of Mexico seems like another straw about ready to break and I have upcomming vacations in Mexico. It really gives one pause. Lets hope that those who have been elected to office take heed of the looming threat.

Too Many Cooks
They say too many cooks spoil the broth. I'd say the same holds for weddings.
It is a rather difficult to plan what is suppose to be one of the happiest days of your life and remain balanced. Even when it is so important it is just one day. I find myself half thinking one way and half the other. Decisions also have to be balanced between what you envisioned versus the other people who have interests in it as well. Especially if their checkbook is involved. All in all, I would say it is quite apparent why some brides to be become unhinged. Maintaining that balance is ever so hard, and when there are too many cooks ... let us just say I'd like the day to end up appetizing. Thank goodness I am not as impassioned about the day as a lot of women are.
..now If I could only find some good songs for the reception. The one thing I am afraid of is that there will be an influx of tacky music streaming through the whole thing. ::sigh::
Any suggestions?

Hamlet, Act I
"Meet it is I set it down,
That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain..."
To explain, in a fashion; the quote itself is of course-as noted- from Hamlet. The title of the blog "borrowed" from Shakespeare, and again from Rex Stout as it is the title of one of my favorite books. It just seemed very fitting at the moment.
If life were a book, just about everyone would like to assume they would hold the role of the protagonist. To make the plot move, however, there needs to be an antagonist. All too often in real life, from scene to scene, one moves from one role to the other. Perhaps not even noting their exchange. Like Hamlet, I would like to set it down that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain...
