I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, the US government loves the life Gert and I live. Having a mortgage with children reduces the tax load significantly! . . . My nephew passed his jury for Eagle Scout this evening. Way to go, Parker . . . Well, this is certainly not the kind of press an upstart magazine should want . . . I’ve must not be well-read. I believe there are 
but 13 books on this list that I have read. I have a few others on the bookshelf . . . Not that anyone needed any further proof, but President Clinton does not tell the truth . . . Obama wasn’t going to win Pennsylvania, but thanks to foot-in-mouth disease (aka elitism), he surely has no shot now . . . spring has finally sprung . . . We all make mistakes, but shouldn’t a school district’s language arts supervisor not send e-mail with typos? . . . The AP counts differently than I do. According to Tom Hester, “Corzine’s $33 billion budget proposal would cut spending by $2.7 billion.” Yet, this year’s NJ’s budget was $33,293,000 and the proposed budget for next year is $33,968,603. That’s a spending increase the way I teach my fourth graders. Budget numbers are fluid, but I’ve yet to see a set of figures which actually shows spending will be less next year . . . Yikes! I shudder to think what this college would have done to us for our radio shows 20+ years ago . . . I agree with Justice Alito. I even wrote about it back in 2001. Of course, I approached it from a citizen of New Jersey, not as an Italian-American . . .

The newest Eagle Scout in the family is quite proud of his accomplishment…so much so that when he volunteered this past weekend, he didn’t want to be ‘out of uniform’ so he hand drew a picture of the Eagle badge and duct taped it on his uniform. He beamed from ear to ear.
As soon as he has his Court of Honor, I’ll be able to log the “Gathering of Eagles” LC. I’ve had to wait years to be able to have an entry. My other Eagle Scout son’s accomplishment was my introduction into TC.com. I’ve enjoyed the challenges in the never-ending scavenger hunt. I’m a much more attentive traveler because of my searches.
