If I Were President, Part 3 … 2008-08-24 00:01:00 Vote for me based on the following plank in my platform:Domestic AffairsWe covered an important component of our domestic program when we earlier discussed energy policy. Let’s now discuss other domestic issues. “It’s the economy, stupid” was the mantra in Bill Clinton’s first and successful run for the presidency.

Thoughts on another visit to New Orleans … 2008-09-21 00:01:00 From our Cincinnati base we visit
New Orleans
5 or 6 times a year, generally staying a week or so. Our latest visit was an unscheduled one, when my mother had a heart attack. She is just fine as of this writing.

The previous three visits were totally dominated by looking at house Read more:New Orleans

New Orleans is worth rebuilding ... 2008-09-14 00:01:00 Last Sunday's blog on whether New Orleans
is worth rebuilding aroused a lot of comment. Here is a stronger case for rebuilding offered by our good friends, Janice and Steve Shull:Beyond the intangible sense of place of New Orleans
is the historical fact of an old city, born of the French, nurtured by the Spanish, and playing a major role in American history. Its culture and vitality have been stud

.” It is for Cincinnati
-area residents who lived in New Orleans before Katrina, and moved for various reasons related to the storm. We started the group through the Meetup organization.

Notes on DC ... 2008-10-26 00:01:00 We are on the road, leaving DC today for Williamsburg, so today’s entry will be a short one. The only variations from our pre-trip report are that we also took in the Spy Museum. I would recommend it only if you have time to spare. The Newseum and Holocaust Museum (pictured)are another story. I would put them in the must-see category. The Newseum is basically a history museum from the viewpoint Read more:Notes
DC and Virginia … 2008-10-19 00:01:00 I know we still owe you the description of our Alaska trip, and we’ll probably start that next week. I feel we owe it to you, but maybe some you would just as soon forgive that debt. But this week’s topic is the trip on which we are now embarked. We flew to DC. We had considered driving but it would have stretched the trip by two days in each direction. Also, Susan does not behave well on driv Read more:Virginia
