In just two weeks Cathy and I are attending a wedding for one of my childhood friends. After sending the happy couple off with a post wedding breakfast we’ll be heading off for a vacation ourselves. To where? Who knows! Montreal. Philly/Washington DC…someplace else? We can’t decide. The only thing we know for sure is we’re going somewhere.

Floral Park was a community where children had bikes and rode them to school, friends houses, the park, for recreation…pretty much everywhere.

America. Land of the free. Land of Equality. Do we really have equality in America? I submit no. True equality does not exist. While debating recent health care legislation a large percentage of congressional members likened provisions of the bill to “death panels”.
