Happy Holidays - from Delray Beach

Christmas has finally come to the tropics. The lighting of the Delray Tree in the Old School Square - parade down Atlantic avenue - Santa came into town on the firetruck. Here's wishing all of our friends, a special happy holidays wish.
Ho-Ho-Ho!

NSPD-51

This is not a joke. Directly from the website for the White House: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2007/05/20070509-12.html. Bush gave himself the power on May 9, 2007, to declare a National Emergency, cancel elections next year, and stay in office until the "emergency" is resolved. I think we all know the implications of this. What can we do? Contact media outlets, ask them why this hasn't been covered all over the news. Insist that they cover it. Tell everyone you know. This cannot happen.

Another Visit from an Old Dear Friend

Sometimes a death brings people together that life has separated. After Pete died, I contacted an old friend of ours who knew Pete - Dean Wilkerson. Dean and his brother David had been in the scouts with all of us and Dean's father had helped us and been a wonderful part of our lives. I reconnected with Dean - now a Senior Vice President of a major development corporation:Portman Holdings - at that time, Dean was on his way to Korea to close a deal. Dean had lived and worked in Delray Beach and had a few friends that he wanted to see after the Korean negotiations. He informed me that he would like to include me in that visit. Susan, Dean and I had a wonderful night reminiscing and a great dinner at Rocky's, a Delray Italian restaurant - It was like so many of our friends - it feels like they just stepped out and went down to the 7-11 - instead, 30 years elapsed. Dean is a major corporate leader, and I'm . . . well, you know. . .

Over the River and through the Woods . . . No Way . . . We're at the Beach!

Our neighbors, Rick and Rochelle invited us over to share a wonderful thanksgiving meal with their family. We started with Rochelle's brother Ross's incredible pâte, Susan and I threw some fresh clams and oysters on the grill - Susan put together a fresh Oriental salad, then the turkey, oyster dressing, Ross's cranberry sauce, green bean casarole, mashed potatoes, gravy, Ross's candied yams, cornbread, followed by sweet potatoe pie. What a feast!
