You’ve faithfully paid your premiums for years and now you have something serious that’s going to require them to spend some money, if they find out you had the slightest illness during the pre-existing period, they can use that to cancel your policy. [...]

I have a love-hate relationship with the news media. They are, in my mind, a necessary evil. We are a need-to-know-now generation and the countless news outlets provide just that. But then, sometimes, they grab hold of something that is less important and don’t let go. [...] It would have been easy for Pixar to tell the family that they didn’t have time and sorry, we can’t do anything about it. Instead, they made a dying girl’s dream come true. That’s the type of company I want to patronize. [...] According to the article, PETA was apparently not happy when President Obama swatted a fly during a television interview for CNBC. The PETA spokesman, Bruce Friedrich, said in the article, “swatting a fly on TV indicates he’s not perfect, and we’re happy to say that we wish he hadn’t.” Oh, brother, give me a break. What next, mosquitos? [...] Our last day in DC took us to the Newseum, where we saw sections of the Berlin Wall and a lot of journalizm history, and the Archives. [...] Today took us to the white house, Jefferson memorial, back to the American History Museum and the Capitol Building. [...] The Holocaust Museum is a sight I will not soon forget. It is a good lesson on how easy it is to spread a hateful message and why we should strive to vanquish hate. The American History Museum was only partly explored today, but the Lincoln Memorial was a great view. [...] One can almost feel the reverence the cemetery almost demands from each of its visitors. As you walk through the manicured grounds, and see the grave markers perfectly lined up, you realize the sacrifice that has filled the rolling hills. Most of those interred there have given their lives in the service of this country and it is humbling. [...] The National Air and Space Museum provided us with a full day of exploration and history. [...] After several months of deliberation about possible vacation venues, we finally decided on Washington DC. I visited with my 6th grade class about 32 years ago and was close by in Virginia and Maryland about 5 years ago, but my wife has never been, so it was a good choice. [...] An 88-year old man, James W. Von Brunn, a reported white supremist, entered the museum through a door held open by the man he shot and killed, Stephen Johns, when Johns tried to stop him. Von Brunn was also injured when guards shot him. [...] Does the TSA restrict our right to freely travel between states? Do their methods violate our civil rights? Check out a blog that keeps tabs on the TSA. [...] Being a camp host at Sequoyah Bay definitely has its pleasures. The biggest pleasure is Sunday afternoons when the park is almost empty. That is the time my wife and I can sit back and take it easy. [...] Attending a close friend’s wedding brought back memories of my own. [...] Most television commercials aren’t worth the time to watch, but sometimes one comes along that is worth watching and sharing. [...] |
