Okay, now I'm pissed!


I get emails and phone calls every day from vendors wanting to sell me great seats to all kinds of public events. I'm a really good customer. But now I will be tearing their ass for not offering me tickets to the greatest event of this decade! Not only was it my patriotic duty to attend, but I wanted photos to mark the event and post on the blog.

Yes, I am getting professional help!

It starts with a thought...


Confidence on the outside begins by living with integrity on the inside.

Message from
a generation past...

Senior citizens are constantly being criticized for every conceivable deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.

HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:

  • Melody out of music,

  • Pride out of appearance,

  • Courtesy out of driving,

  • Romance out of love,

  • Commitment out of marriage,

  • Responsibility out of parenthood,

  • Togetherness out of the family,

  • Learning out of education,

  • Service out of patriotism,

  • The Golden Rule from rulers,

  • The nativity scene out of cities,

  • Civility out of behavior,

  • Refinement out of language,

  • Dedication out of employment,

  • Prudence out of spending,

  • Ambition out of achievement, or,

  • God out of government and school.

And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!
