In the last six months, 5 dogs have lept to their death off a bridge near the old Overtoun House, which indeed looks and sounds like a Stephen King novel coming to life (or death rather) for some unfortunate pooches.
According to the Glasgow Herald the Overtoun was the location for a BBC tv series Tales of a Madhouse which is a series of monologues covering the story of Christ rising from the dead. I'm thinking these dogs will come back again, just like they did in Pet Sematary. I don't know what these folks who are currently working on fixing up the Overtoun House are thinking, but I'm thinking they should hurry home before dark and leave their pets at home.

I Found My Honeymoon Suite - 15m Under the Sea!
So I work a little in reverse. But since this Resort is not yet built, I still have some time to find the guy. I will mortgage my home if I have to, but before I die, I will go to this place, if only for one night. At a cost of $2000 a night, I hope I can find a coupon.

Devotion for Today
We all have dreams of what we think would be the perfect life for ourselves. If we just had [fill in the blank], we are sure then we would be complete and fulfilled. How many of us though really ever come close to realizing those dreams? Rather, most of us live each day with a temporary mindset waiting for all of those things to happen while inevitably life passes us by.
In my case, I'm sure holding on to my "temporary mindset" protects me from having a complete nervous break-down. In fact, on really bad days, the belief that someday it won't be like this, is all that pulls me through.
As I reflect back on my life thus far, I realize that I really have come a long way to better the life for myself and my boys. However, despite the significant positive changes that have occured in my life, I still believe it should be better and so, I continue living as if this were only temporary.
And so, we forge through our lives living in what we view as a preliminary state to our eventual future happiness. We hold on to hope that "someday" our life will not be filled with so much anxiety, stress, unfullfillment and whatever we believe to be less than perfect, so as to avoid the dissappointment that maybe we are living the reality of our life.
In reality, today is the only day we have. There are no guaranties we will get another. What type of place would our world be if everyone out there lived each day believing there would be no other? Tonight when you watch the news, you will hear about the people who didn't.
Go out and live, love, learn and make someone else smile - Today.
