It's been one hell of a week. This is the week when two icons had passed away, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. When I heard Fawcett passed away I was like 'dam', I can believe it. She seemed to young to pass. But when MJ passed, I was so shocked, just like the rest of the world. And just like everyone, they will remember MJ for the music and performances. He was one of the best ever to grace the stage. I won't probably remember the last 10 years of his life or so when he was going through all his B.S but for me it was just about the music, his performances, and dances that made him who he is.
Then the next thing that happend was hearing that Shaquille O'neal being traded to the Cleveland Cavs for Ben Wallace and some other guy. The media kept hyping this trade rumor up so much that when the trade went down it didn't seem like it was news. It was more like finally it went down. Most people, like myself, think that Shaq is not the answer to LeBron James's destination. Shaq will help out the best he can, but he is old now and doesn't dominate like he once did. I think they picked up Shaq so someone can guard the Magic's Dwight Howard. Howard is a monster down at the post. When Shaq was in his prime, that probably could have worked. But now, Howard owns him. The Magic themselves made a big time trade to get Vince Carter from New Jersey. Carter is an All-Star player and is dam good. I guess they got pissed that the Lakers destroyed them in the finals so they had to get some more weapons. When the Cavs and Magic play in the playoffs next year, it will be very interesting to watch. Until then, I still am enjoying the Lakers 15th and Kobe and D-Fish's fourth title.
Well enough about whats going on in the news. On Thursday, Francie and I went back to the Southern PA District office to drop off a computer I had cleaned out for them. It is always good to go over there. Then today, I went to the movies again with my friend Al and seen "Transformers 2". I must say I really enjoyed the movie. I thought it was awesome. However there were a couple of seens in the movie that prevented it from being better than the first one. I would rank them about the same, maybe giving the first a slight edge because it was the first and it was hard to top it. I knew that going in that the second one had a lot to live up to. I was happy with it anyway and I look forward to getting it on DVD.
Very early this morning, Ed and Betty Runion, another favorite couple of mine who served here at the center for two months, finished up for the year. They volunteered here for years as hosts, but this was the third time they volunteered since I been here. They came the beginning of May and finished up end of June. They will be back and but I won't be here when they do. I am really going to miss them a lot. I will always going to remember Ed for helping Felix out mowing the centers lawn. Betty has got a great since of humor and was always so friendly. Other than the Hubers, Chryslers, and Hermonson's, I spent more time with them then any other volunteer couple. I am going to miss playing games with them. They are truly wonderful people.

Other than that everything is everything. It's almost July, which means I got a month and a half left. Now it's about preparing to leave, packing my stuff up and shipping it home. They enjoying the time I got left here and applying to whereever I go. Another chapter in my life is going to get wrapped up soon and so look forward to it.
