Last week I wrote about my husband’s personal philosophy, which leads us to travel as often as we can. One of the great things about travelling is that you never know what you may find. Labor Day weekend we choose to travel to Chicago. Our reason for doing so, because neither us, nor our friends whom we travel with, have just never been to Chicago.
I knew the time would be soon.
Much of the summer I gave thought to it.
Retirement.
That was on a license plate I noticed yesterday and I started to wonder...
I know many people who are generous with their time and money...even if it is in a small way. For myself, I am generous to a fault, especially in business.
I give my time and efforts to many pursuits that are not profitable. My Father and I used to discuss that quite a bit because it was, and is, a difficult one for me at best.
Last Saturday I went back to our old High School (we still live in Roslyn) to take in the Roslyn High School Homecoming football game. So many memories welled up, eg, it is the same field on which Joanne was a cheer leader and upon which I played soccer. Better yet, I was joined by my son David and grandson Jackson, Roslyn High School attendees also. Most noteworthy, I bumped into Steve and Joan Dichter. Steve was my Soccer and Baseball teammate and Best Man at our wedding 50 years ago. Joan was Joanne's business partner in Gifted Desserts.
"Be prepared!" Wasn't that one of the basic tenets of the Boy Scouts?
What surprised me most about Monday night's debate was the lack of preparation by one candidates.
As I was watching, I wondered whether the debate would be used as an example of the importance of preparation.
