We fall somewhere between Baby Boomers and Generation Xers.  We've been called Generation Cuspers, Generation Y and Generation Jones.  Do you know what we are?  Generation Computer-Illiterates. I was born in 1965, graduated high school in 1983 and college in ‘88.  My ‘generation' missed two impor...

My internet browser home page is Foxnews.com.  Not a political choice, I have just found their pages to be the easiest to manage; totally a personal preference thing.  My first move in the morning is to scroll down to the stock market ticker to see how my much is left of my 401k IRA. As I scroll ...

Have you picked out that perfect gift yet?  Oh man, the pressure - something she likes, something practical, something at a discount, something no one else has.  Well, I have your answer for the perfect Christmas Gift. A Barrel of Light Sweet Crude Oil.   I don't mean a commodity purchase; that w...

No, this isn't a remake of Beauty and The Beast.  This is a combination of messages from the smartest person in American politics and the most popular person in American politics. (in case you haven't had your coffee yet - Gingrich is the smart one.) On FOX News last night, Newt Gingrich would no...

President-Elect Obama has the easiest job in the World and should have things all worked out by Groundhog Day. It is early enough in history for all of us to agree on how Obama got elected to the presidency.  'Failed Bush Administration Economic Policies.'  He couldn't complete a single sentence ...

I awoke this morning in our guest bedroom, not completely oblivious to the events that got me here.  I vaguely remember the 1 am clandestine mobilization of my 3yr old daughter and armful of combatant stuffed animals.  We call them ‘lovies', but in the middle of the night when one of them is noti...

Ah, the $64,000 question.( now valued at $45,000)  My opinion for the resurgence of the party is as follows: Re-embrace George W Bush.  (Oh my gosh, did I really just type that?)  YES, I did!   I personally believe McCain could have done more to quantify the Bush Administration and point out the ...

Not in one blog, that would be a record; but with this blog I have finally reached the 10,000 pt mark on the great ActiveRain network.  For those of you reading this blog on my personal page, most of my blogging occurs through a real estate network site called ActiveRain. AR now has 118,350 membe...

The Raiders made the right call letting go of DeAngelo Hall on Wednesday.  Unfortunately, it is just a little too late.  Hall is one of those players that is good when things around him are good, but not a natural leader and was not displaying leadership in the field, nor I imagine in the locker ...

Today is a great day for conservatives.  I know, the Democrats are feeling a little more glee and zip in their step today, but the conservatives have a lot to be happy about.  I am a conservative, to many that defines my beliefs in abortion, taxes, environment and welfare.  That isn't how I see m...

Marin County is a special place to live, work and play. Our public schools are among the highest state rankings, our air is cleaner than other Bay Area counties and our many micro-climates offer residents unique options. The Golden Gate bridge symbolizes how close we are to one of the greatest US metropolitan cities, while the Marin Headlands and Mt Tamalpais remind us how far from the City we truly are.
