Time to do some planning!


Here is my idea: I want to do a vacation. I want to do it someplace warm with a beach and the chance to scuba dive. I want a vacation that is all-inclusive. That means ALL drinks, food, room, everything is included in one price. Now I have taken vacations like this with friends and they are out there. In Cozumel Mexico they have all-inclusive resorts that pander to families and are not that expensive. Cozumel is a good place because it is an island. As an island you don't have the riffraff that you have on the mainland begging or trying to rip you off. The last time I was on Cozumel (4 years ago) there was not a street you could not walk safely. The island has a large contingent of Mexican Military and a police force that is above reproach. There are many all-inclusive resorts that could meet anybody's needs. The prices do vary but I will determine a place that is cost effective for anyone and their family. If you are interested let me know but I am going to invite all the people I have known over the last 25 years. This will include: family, friends, military, political, co-workers and for some even ex-lovers (ha!). I would suggest you do the same. This is not to be construed as a "family" reunion but a reunion of friends and family because the people you hold as friends and family I would too, without judgement. Heck, I may not even like them but they are welcome to go. So....if there is something specific we should look for leave a comment and I will incorporate it in the search for the "All-Inclusive Friends and Family Vacation"!

So Many Years but So Right For Today!

Is This a Declaration of War Against The American People?

Senior White House adviser David Axelrod and deputy chief of staff Jim Messina told senators to focus on the insured and how they would benefit from “consumer protections” in the overhaul, such as ending the practice of denying insurance based on preexisting conditions and ensuring the continuity of coverage between jobs.

They showed video clips of the confrontational town halls that have dominated the media coverage, and told senators to do more prep work than usual for their public meetings by making sure their own supporters turn out, senators and aides said.

And they screened TV ads and reviewed the various campaigns by critics of the Democratic plan.

If you get hit, we will punch back twice as hard,” Messina said, according to an official who attended the meeting.
