After 90 and a half years, my Father, Jonas Vasaris passed away on Wednesday, 09/09/09. Ever since Mom passed 2 years ago, he’s missed her terribly and that was the beginning of the end.
When I saw him last Sunday we went through many, many photo albums, reminiscing about many vacations and going back many years when he was fleeing Lithuania, teaching in Germany and emigrating from Europe.
He had a good life….he said so. One of his thoughts was, “If I had known I was going to live this long, I would have saved more money!”
There is a price to be paid when a president throws a party every other night, weekends in Chicago or Camp David and poses for magazine cover after magazine cover….Too busy to actually do the job to which he was elected
After 51 days in office, Barack Obama has appointed only 73 people to 1,200 jobs that require Senate confirmation.
I’m not much of a political pundit, but I enjoyed the Republican VP’s speech, especially all those digs into BO. Last night, Sarah Palin singlehandedly replaced angry feminism with a solid advance in the status of women. My vote goes to Sarah!
The arrogance of people who can’t handle the realization that we are NOT in control and just exist at the whim of nature. I’m sure that many of the inhabitants of New Orleans have a multitude of personal reasons for living there. I, for one, would never consider living in a bowl that is below sea level, on the coast of a large body of water, and in the path of hurricanes.
By now I’m sure you have heard of the passing of Randy Pausch. I saw his lecture on youtube last October and passed the link on to as many people as I knew. I also told them to have tissues or a hankie nearby. If you have not seen the lecture, please do. If you have not read the book, please do.
