A fast rise to number one on the charts!
The album Thriller was released on November 30. 1982, and sold more than one million copies per week and currently remains the best selling album of all time.
Besides winning 8 Grammy Awards, Thriller cemented Jackson’s status as one of the biggest pop stars of the late 20th century, enabling him to break down racial barriers and gave the musical industry a new direction.
It would’ve been interesting to see where his latest This is It comeback tour would have taken him. We’ll never know. Michael Jackson….gone too fast.
This is it movie opening on October 28, 2009, for two weeks only. Link: HERE

I know where I’m going to be on October 16. You’ll find me in a darkened theater with a buttery bag of popcorn and a coke…. but don’t talk to me until after the credits!
I can hardly wait!

Lady Grizelda gets a makeover!
The smaller version is one of the first pictures I did when I first started working digitally, two years ago… It’s perfect for the prompt but I just couldn’t put her up in that condition… so here is the new Griselda… along with the original poem that went with her.
Lady Griselda looked at the date
“Good heavens!” she said
“I’m running quite late!”
“The Coveny Sisters have already started!”
So she packed up her tools
and quickly departed.
And just for good measure she mixed up some dust
Then she sprinkled her broom
Chanting “Salem or bust!”

Be kind to the swine. Don’t give them the blame.
Treat all pigs with kindness. Shake a hoof, ask their name!
As a gesture of kindness, consider biscuits and tea.
I’ve heard roast beef and pound cake makes a pig squeal with glee!
Or…
You could take a piggy to market and buy some new shoes…
add some bloomers, some stockings and a handbag or two!
Yes be kind to the pig. Turn his gray skies to blue.
But first wash your hands. Please don’t give him Swine Flu!
Achoo!
