Valentine’s Day? As the heart grows older, it turns to the best wishes to others to have a good one – especially those who are planning a big surprise for a loved one.

It has begun. The re-gifting of Christmas cookies. You can have a sign on your forehead that you are pre-diabetic but this does not deter the determination of a Christmas cookie re-gifter.

Is It PC to Say “Happy Thanksgiving”?
November 25, 2010
Political correctness doesn’t take a day off. We probably ought to be terribly careful and say “Happy Holiday” in case someone is celebrating something else somewhere in the world today. With globalization, we can’t just stop the PC at our borders. And this isn’t the holiday my Jewish friends eat at Chinese restaurants. How did […]

For those of you who have never visited George Washington’s home, Mount Vernon, there is something special hanging in a place of honor on the first floor: one of the keys to the hated prison in France, la Bastille.

SAMHENRY HAD THE BRAVEST DAD – AND MOM.
June 20, 2010
This father’s day and every father’s day I thank my step-father for furthering the work of my late father, a truly brave man. A World War II test pilot, his bravery in the face of certain death in a plane in trouble was more than out paced by the bravery he showed in the face […]
