Today marks my first two years living in New York City. But that anniversary is secondary. Five years ago today. And the 3rd has fallen on a Sunday again. At this exact moment five years ago, that darkness did not yet exist for me. In another 12-13 more hours, his father would be calling to tell me that he was dead.I'm still creating coincidences and searching for that connection, which logic tell

Two years ago this week I started blogging.
Not on this blog. I first started with another blog which I used as a pilot. I tested how it all worked with a few blog posts - but didn't publish the posts to the world at large and didn't ping! My first concerns were mainly technical and software related - how did it work,
Many thanks for the 1991 Mercury Grand Marquis. I feel very grateful and blessed this has been the best thing that has happened in my life in a long time. Two years ago I had nothing, many good people have helped me to get back on my feet again. Without 1-800 Charity Cars help along with others my self sufficiency would have been very difficult and frustrating. Again, thank you for the car. Kevin
No military solution for Iraq, says General PetraeusGuess what, we already figured that out a long time ago. It's nice to see the administration catching up with what the rest of the country learned a while back. This administration is like two years behind the rest of the country.Remember "stay the course"Meanwhile, Democrats are looking to pull the troops out by the next election. Republicans will argue the Democrats are doing it for political reasons, and maybe so, but it does give the President until the end of the year to figure out if this is working or not. The perk of the plan is that it pulls the troops out of Iraq right before the next elections, giving the Democrats enough political ammo to keep their majority in the next election.Either way, it does appear to me that the Iraq War is entering it's final stages...and that's a good thing.
Two years ago on March 8 2005, 22 days after MP Rafik Hariri was assassinated, thousands of Hezbollah followers marched on Riyad Solh Square in Down Town Beirut to thank Syria.A date that will become the "pro-Syrian" political camp's brand, the infamous 8 March against the 14 March (the brand of the political faction who refused Syrian hegemony).Maybe as a reminder, that Square is unfortunately occupied by hundreds of Hezbollah tents nowadays. For what exactly I still do not know, maybe for 30 years of occupation, or for the thousands and thousands of Lebanese citizens killed by the Syrian Army, or maybe for the hundreds of Lebanese still in its prisons. That rally was followed a week later, on 14 March 2005, by a huge demonstration of Lebanese, who demand an international investigation in the assassination of PM Rafik Hariri and an immediate withdrawal of all Syrian troops from Lebanon. Two years since that day, Hezbollah and its allies are still thanking Syria, its Presiden
Two years ago today, my beloved daddy died. He died in his sleep, after "successfully" coming through a difficult surgery. It broke my heart. I still can't believe he is gone. When my brother called me that morning from the hospital, I knew. I knew why he was calling. And I became hysterical. Damon was in his room, it was 6:15 am and he was not yet up for school. He was probably frightened at my hysteria, not knowing the reason...thinking it was something with Lou. He didn't come into our room to find out what was wrong. Finally, Damon called his brother. And then Drew called me. It was awful, just awful. The entire thing was awful. Because Lou could not grasp it, could not remember it, from moment to moment, so I just couldn't talk about it. Because it would be the "first time" for Lou, every time it was mentioned. And Lou was very fond of my Dad. So we just didn't talk about it. I went home for one night, hurried back for Lou. No wonder I can't believe my Da
