"As we embark on another new year, I feel that it is hard to move forward if you do not remember what you are leaving behind. Naturally, I am referring to some of the hot issues that made Americans question not only what is going on around them but what has government done for America lately; that is, if they did anything at all..."

"I may not watch every sport but I do consider myself being a big fan for the sports I do watch. I love to cheer on my N.Y. Giants to a possible Super Bowl berth, while I pray each year for the N.Y. Mets to remember how to play competitive baseball..."

"I can remember in the 1980’s using a computer called the Commodore 64. I am really showing my age as it was introduced internationally in the spring of 1982 and was considered to be one of the best computers around. It was an 8-bit home computer..."
