"Life moves pretty fast...if you don't stop and look around once in a while you just might miss it!" - Ferris Bueller

For those of you who don’t know, John Hughes passed away last week. He was the genious who brought us many of the movies that helped shape, guide or even "raise" us in the 1980's. I know I for one need to give Mr. Hughes full credit for my entire entertainment pleasure growing up. If you don't know who John Hughes is check your DVD collections b/c more than likely he wrote your favorite ones. Let's see just to name a few....the entire Vacation series... (need I say more), Planes Trains and Automobiles, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Sixteen Candles, Home Alone series, She's Having a Baby, Weird Science, OH and Mr. Mom. I think we can all agree that he thought a lot of Michael Anthony Hall as did we.

Well, this titled quote is pretty appropriate since I have yet to blog since what... JULY 1! Good grief. I think I myself need to SLOW DOWN ("move out of that seat and I'll split your lip"- Ellen Griswold to Aunt Edna)...

So, now that the summer is officially over, I'm back at work, kids return to school day after tomorrow...I will attempt to reflect and share our summer 2009 shananigans. Time sho' flies when you're having fun!

RIP John Hughes!
