Today’s horoscope:
“Life isn’t about winning and losing — it’s about how much you enjoy playing the game. Ask yourself if you’re doing exactly what it is you need to be doing. If the answer is no, start making changes.”
Well! To be honest, I’m really not much enjoying the game. Now to figure out what changes I need to make….. Of course, being able to type without my hands going numb might help. I don’t know why I’m having so much trouble lately. It’s very annoying.
Okay. Enough whining.
Must. Get. My. Head. Into. The. 1920s
Country music legend, and Hee-Haw host, Buck Owens died yesterday. He was 76.
I’m getting really tired of all these actors and singers dying. But since these things always seem to happen in threes (why is that???), I can’t help but wonder who’ll be next.
Returning yesterday’s discussion of Freemasons, I really need to watch National Treasure. And I can’t wait until The Da Vinci Code comes out. Wish I could stand going to the theater to see it. But aside from driving myself crazy with squirming (fibro pain sucks in the worst way), I’d probably make all the other people in the theater want to shoot me, too. 
So I shall be (im)patient and wait for it to hit pay-per-view and/or DVD.
Anyhoo. Found a site this morning with a long list of famous Masons. Just to name a few:
Bud Abbott (of Abbott & Costello fame)
Buzz Aldrin
John Jacob Astor (once the richest man in America)
Stephen F. Austin (Austin, Texas is named after him)
Gene Autry
Irving Berlin
Daniel Boone
Jim Bowie
Mark Twain
Buffalo Bill Cody
Nat King Cole
Davy Crockett (those poor Alamo defenders needed some fellow Masons on the Mexican side!)
Cecil B. DeMille
Harry Houdini
Sam Houston (you were right, Eve!)
To see the full list go to Famous Freemasons. The list is HUGE!
And, yeah, you gotta wonder about all those other organizations like the Rotarians, Elks, Lions, and Moose (and what is up with all the animal names???). Why didn’t they ever get all the flack the Masons got?
As for writing music, I don’t know if Dr. Who music would help a paranormal or not, Crystal. 
So, I’ve been diligently trying to find information on tunnels under Washington, D.C. Talk about a needle in a haystack! At first, all I found were articles about service tunnels, sewers, etc. No, thank you, not what I wanted. Then I discovered something in the midst of all that referring to the Illuminati and the Freemasons. “Oh!” I thought. “This sounds more promising. Or at least more entertaining.” So I added Freemasons to my googling search keywords. And hit the freakin’ jackpot! 
Well, actually, nobody has any maps of these alleged tunnels, but there’s lots of speculation. And it’s all wacky and out of this world. Conspiracy theorists. Bless ‘em. They are entertaining. Really, I don’t buy the whole Freemasons = Satanists thing. Hello? 
My great-great-granddaddy was a Mason, thank you very much. And I just can’t picture him being into that sort of thing. Or consorting with people from Atlantis (which is anothe bizarre theory, LOL!). Sorry. :D
Of course, I ought to be working on my murder mystery. However, I’m having trouble getting into the 1920s mind-set. I may have to break out the 1920s music CDs……
