My Favorite Form of Exercise

Walking about in the old town – 2

I love walking and I think that it's probably the best way to exercise because you can do it anywhere, it is gentle on the joints, it is free and it doesn't require any special equipment aside from shoes. It connects with the outdoors and fresh air (hopefully not too polluted) and clears your mind.

The President’s Jobs Plan (Not)

Reich’s proposal is exactly what our economy needs, a good strong dose of stimulativ­e spending and direction. I feel as though we are wandering around rudderless without any plan to get us going again. The GOP is in another dimension with all their focus on the debt ceiling and how much power that gives them over their arch enemies the President and the democrats. The American people are seriously concerned about the lack of jobs, the lowering wages and the increasing costs of food, gas, health insurance premiums and the mortgage situation. This is not the time for grandstand­ing and the idea that the wealthy should not have to pay their fair share in this mess, is unconscion­able. The finance industry has not paid the American taxpayer back sufficient­ly enough to make up for the losses they racked up, their settlement­s to other investors don’t count. There should be taxes on their financial transactio­ns to help pay down the deficit, things like that would go a long way to get this supposed “crisis” back under control.

If I Had A Magic Wand

Construction crane

I would use it to get my husband the dream construction executive position that he has been looking for, the one that he would enjoy until retirement.

It would be summertime in France at my uncle’s house in Bordeaux France. We are celebrating my Tantine Cecile’s birthday, my cousin’s wife’s birthday and my birthday. All my aunts, uncles and cousins are there, along with my mother, sister, broth-in-law, niece, nephew, the big guy and our kids. We are all assembled together to celebrate, eat wonderful food and laugh and laugh. This isn’t a new experience for us but it never gets old. We are just happy to be reunited for the day and celebrate being related to each other. The food is catered and always wonderful, the menu changes every time, but that doesn’t matter because it always tastes good. The sun is always shining, usually a scorcher, but there isn’t any humidity so it’s comfortable. I can’t stop raving about the overall feeling of happiness I have at each of these family reunions. I can’t wait for the next one, which it just so happens will be next year. We will be celebrating my uncle’s 85th birthday, my aunt’s 80th birthday, my cousin’s 55th birthday and my 45th birthday. I miss them so much! I can’t wait until next year, I mean I can because who wants to get older, but I can’t wait to see them and by hook or by crook I am going.
