Year: 2017

Another year has come and gone.  Another 52 columns written. Another time for me to wish of all of you and your families a Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year. Please know that although we don’t agree on every issue each week, it is an honor to be able to exchange ideas…

For all eternity, the first week of the new year brings talk of resolutions for the coming year.  We resolve to eat right, exercise, lose weight, spend less, save more and the list goes on and on.  We even write these resolutions down.   You’re certainly welcome to tell me your New Year’s resolutions today. …

In three days from now we are supposed to sit around the table stuffing turkey down our throats while reflecting on all the things we should be thankful for.  The easy ones are family and good health.  Some might also be thankful for a new job, new car, new President or good grades by your…

  You managed to save enough money to buy a home in the community of your dreams.  You sweated and saved and you are proud to have accomplished the opportunity to provide a beautiful environment for you and your family to live in.  You achieved the American dream. Not so fast.  Whether it’s political correctness,…
