Thank You Raven Symoné For Standing Up As An American
I was watching the New Year's Eve New York Times Square Watch The Ball Drop shows on television last night as the various hosts were bantering back and forth to kill time and attempt to entertain us, when one of them mentioned that Raven Symoné said in an interview that she is not an African American, she is an American.
My first thought was, "thank you for standing up against the PC labels we've been suffering with for at least four decades." To be honest, that was my second thought. My first thought was, "Why was Dick Clark not immortal?" But I digress.

Do You Enjoy Visiting A Book Setting Location?
I travel to California for business frequently and occasionally for pleasure. During the flight from Dayton, Ohio to various west coast destinations I generally read a couple of books each direction.
Carol and I had the good fortune to spend the Christmas holiday in San Diego, California on Mission Bay. For our flight west I read Touch Of A Woman by K.G. MacGregor and Chasing A Brighter Blue by Gerri Hill...

The Foot Hammock Is Fantastic For People with Short Legs
I don't back a lot of Kickstarter projects, but when an engineer posted a link for The Foot Hammock project into a chat session, I was intrigued.

UFO Again

We Are Planning a Trip to Hensely Settlement And The Sand Cave For Mid-October
My sister Shelley, my son Jason, my dad and his wife Betty made a trip to the Sand Cave almost 20 years ago via horseback. We are planning to take the trip again. This time it will be my sister and her husband Mark and her son Ryan along with me and Carol and no horseback due to Carol's shaky relationship with horses. We are trying to find the best route with the most driving and least walking and certainly the least amount of steep hiking as we're all old and out of shape :) (Except for Ryan of course).
