Start Spreading the News...

I'm loving Sinatra, and going to New York this weekend, so hopefully I'll take some good pictures or get some interesting sounds recorded.

The following is not the Theme from New York, New York, but it is all about Sinatra and it has pictures of NY and Elvis in it so I thought it would be a nice transition to my next topic. Enjoy :-)




Also, I don't know if I mentioned this, but I wrote a letter to a former actress who co-starred with Elvis in two movies, and she did some other movies in the late 50s/early 60s... she is a nun now, and I found that fascinating. So anyway, she responded to me and I would like to write some of what she wrote.

"Dear Michelle:

Thank you so much for the thought to write. It is wonderful to receive expressions of support for my years in Hollywood from those generations apart from me and from the filmmaking of that era.

In your letter there is reference also to my Contemplative life. To those who seek to know why I became an enclosed Benedictine Nun, my answer is, because the Lord asked it of me. It can only be suggested to you that my own journey, my own call, was a long and severe test and it was not easy. Nonetheless, I have gained everything for the more I live Contemplative life, the more I am aware that it is an absolute gift He offers..."

If you want more info about this lady, let me know. I can even let you borrow a movie or show you the actual document. Also, if you have any interest in the "Contemplative life," she would welcome you to her Abbey in Connecticut. I've got the website and all. Just let me know.




Also, a website you guys might enjoy, www.twitter.com. My boyfriend told me about it, and it is a great way to learn more about various people such as John Edwards, and even me! My user name is mickeypresley, if you have one, let's be friends! That is all for now, have a great weekend :-)
