First one, so enthusiastic, so sorry they …

I am by no means a hard core political junkie. In fact, I pay little attention to the presidential candidates until maybe 3 months out. I don't watch the news. I don't read the paper. I do get something called "The Skimm" which is a great news summary with a sense of humor, about a page long Monday thru Friday. Highly recommend it. (http://www.thes …

On this day in 1783, George Washington returned to Mount Vernon, after disbanding his Army, following the Revolutionary war. They had their final meal at Fraunces Tavern, where you can have a meal yourself today in lower Manhattan. Kind of amazing to think you can eat where George actually presided over this historic gathering. Nice that he got hom …
Time for a trip down memory lane. A story from Parade magazine: Christmas in Boston, 1963 “John F. Kennedy had been shot a month earlier in Dallas, Texas, and the world was like an ice-ball. It wasn’t just Boston or the Catholics that loved JFK. The entire world loved him. Everyone was sad, and now it was Christmas. I had my eye on a toy “Supercar” …
I love technology. I love computers. I love my iPhone. So on Sunday as I was gloriously flying to Austin, TX, I was thrilled to learn that my flight on Delta had something called Delta Studio. You could use your laptop or tablet or phone, even, to view reasonably current movies without purchasing the crazy overpriced plane wifi. It was a nearly 4 …
