Fathers Day – June 19, 2011

Hey Dad! I hope you are enjoying Fathers Day with family and friends.

Having my father pass away at a very early age, there is much I couldn’t learn from him. At the time of his passing, an uncle tried to step in and provide guidance to my brother and I. He was a good man,

Unfortunately, he also passed shortly thereafter, giving my brother and I sort of double shock.

So mom picked up the pieces and did the best she could with the circumstances given her.

And she did very well – we turned out pretty good! Still I wish we could have gotten to know dad better.

So relish the time you have with your dad and other loved ones, for you never know when they will have finished their work and depart.

* A Very Happy Father’s Day To All *

Mother’s Day is not just an annual American holiday but is celebrated in many countries around the world, It recognizes maternal bonds of motherhood and the role those bonds play in our life.

Mothers do so much for us, much of which goes unrecognized and/or unrewarded.

This is the one day of the year we can make up for the many times we should have said ‘Thank You’ for the many things a mother does for us. Read More→

Advertising Isn’t

Advertising, the lifeblood of our economy – or so the ad agencies would like you to believe. But is it really? My take on the subject: Advertising doesn’t really sell you anything, it just entertains you

Let’s take a little step back in time. To something called ‘drive-ins’ – here I go dating myself again!

The American Drive-In Movie Theatre

For the uninitiated, drive-ins were places you went to view movies in an outdoor setting, on a giant screen. A place to meet, greet and brag on a warm summer evening. Some were single screen, some multiple screen and you generally had a double feature. Before the show and during the intermission they ran snack bar advertising – ‘…come get your hot dogs, popcorn, candy and soda pop, etc.‘.

Search And Rescue

In time of disaster or emergencies the call often goes out to and for SAR teams (Search And Rescue) – ‘Those Orange Shirts’. (you are seeing many in the news clips of the Japan Disaster)

Many of these teams are made up of unpaid volunteers. Ordinary citizens giving back to their communities in a way most folks don’t think about.

They are cheap kamagra ordinary citizens willing to come to your aid at any time 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year (24/7/365).

For much of my adult life I’ve been a member of such a team and it has been most rewarding for me. Though age now prevents me from active participation I support the team in any little way I can.

So I ask that you check your local area for your nearest team and provide whatever support you can. Help them with their chosen avocation.

I hope you see fit to support your local Search and Rescue Teams! They work selflessly to aid those in need, often at risk to themselves.

Thank you.
Bob
