Merry Christmas Eve

It’s Christmas Eve and it’s time to be mindful of the season and those we love. Today I gave the gift of life in the form of a blood donation at Blood Assurance the regional blood bank I work for. It seemed like a good thing to do to help others in this season.

My friends have a great Christmas. Be safe everyone.

This Is Your 5-Day Christmas Warning

Watching When Harry Met Sally In Memory of Rob And Michelle Reiner

When Harry met Sally is an iconic movie directed by Rob Reiner and written by Nora Ephron. We are watching it in memory of Rob, who with his wife Michelle Singer Reiner were murdered in their Los Angeles home on Sunday, December 14th. Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan put on terrific performances in this great movie about relationships and time.

Rob and Michelle, Rest in Power! Thank you for the memories.

Thought Of The Day 12152025

Donald Trump is not a good man. He is woefully incompetent and lacks the moral clarity to lead. The presidency often requires empathy and compassion, which he is incapable of. His remarks about the murder of Rob Reiner proves that point. There is no argument anyone can make to defend him as a leader or a person. I so wish that his party would have the courage to hold him accountable.
