Washington DC White House Party Crasher Couple

I'm not real impressed that anyone would stoop to sneaking into any party, especially a White House party. I heard there may be charges coming against them, but I can't say I think they were wrong. I think Secret Service was wrong and should be embarrassed they allowed this to happen. The media should drop the story as they are helping this couple get exactly what they wanted -- media attention and fame!

Tiger Woods Accident

In all seriousness, Tiger Woods and his family are entitled to privacy. Tiger is an amazing athlete, a class act, and worthy of respect. He's entitled to make a mistake just like the rest of us. No matter what really happened Black Friday AM, it's really none of our business. Of course, that won't stop our curiosity....

Woods Accident

Back several years ago, there was an accident right down the road from my house. My husband and I heard screeching and something just didn't sound right. We ran down the road to see if everyone was okay. We didn't grab a driver, putter or a pitching wedge, nor did we go back to our house to get one.

My husband and I are trying to figure how this accident played out....

You hear an accident at the end of your driveway and a voice (possibly your husband) calling "help". You instinctively know to grab a golf club from your garage, run down to the accident and break the back window to get him out. You pull a six foot man from the front driver's seat over the back seat and out the back window of an Escalade.

OR...you hear the accident, run out, check the Escalade doors. They won't open. You run back to the house, grab that putter that's in the umbrella stand (instead of the spare key that is hanging right next to the putter), run back and break the back window of the Escalade. You climb in, unlock the driver's door and pull him out.

OR...at 2:30 in the morning you are practicing your putting because your husband is a much better golfer than you. You hear a crash, run (you just happen to have that putter in hand) break the window so you can get the person out of the vehicle and onto the ground.

OR...you are having a fight with your husband at 2:30 in the morning after a few Thanksgiving cocktails. He jumps in his car, speeds out in his SUV crashing into a tree and a fire hydrant while you are chasing him with a golf club. At this point, you say, "oh crap, this is serious, he needs help" and break the back window. Or you maybe say "you rat b****rd!!!" and break the window.

No matter which way it plays out...the back window gets broken. We can't wait to hear what really happened.

"Health Insurance Reform"

Watching Good Morning America this morning, I saw someone (Sen. Tom Harkin, I think) saying there would soon be a victory on health "insurance" reform. During that segment, someone (by this time I was starting to wake up) also said that Obama and the American public had asked for "health insurance reform" and they would soon be giving it to us (cramming down our throats might probably be more like it). They were also talking about the new government insurance that would be created to compete with insurance companies.

I must be misunderstanding this whole health care reform issue ... I thought we all wanted health care reform which, in itself, should lead to health insurance reform. How can insurance costs be forced down if the health care costs haven't changed? What am I missing? Maybe I'll understand it better if I read all 2,072 pages....

What do you think about "health care reform"?

The "Count"...

How inventive to "spell" Google with numbers! Again I find myself smiling as Google appears on my screen. This was a very welcome smile after wiping tears while watching Diena Thompson on GMA. Diena lost her 7-year-old daughter, Somer, a few weeks ago. Somer disappeared while walking home from school. I can't even imagine the grief she and her family are feeling - my heart goes out to them. I hope the monster who did this is soon found.

Sesame Street....

Don't you think every day should be "Sesame Street" day on Google? It has been making me smile all week! Hard to believe Sesame Street could possibly be 40 years old.

Is Email Obsolete? What Do You Think?

Could it really be true that email is at least becoming obsolete? I have just recently been realizing that even I have been known to text instead of email. I really hate texting. Give me a full size keyboard for my fingers and I'm much happier. All my fingers like to type. When typing with only my thumbs, it doesn't work as well for me. Although, I can't exactly fit my 17" laptop into my purse, so I'm forced to use the phone. Checking with my daughter she confirmed she typically replies to facebook or will text rather than emailing. What do you think?
