There is no better feeling....(with the possible exception...of some really good sex) than winning on a stage big enough to be the biggest stage on earth!

World Champions!

Congratulations....USA Women's Soccer!   World Cup Champions!

This is ....Embarrassing!

Embarrassing...maybe putting it mildly.  These United States of America are in uncharted waters.

We are not winning.  We are losing.  And losing badly.

Ok....these winter sports are not our strong points.  There is snow and ice.  And our best athletes tend to like football and baseball and basketball.   Not on the calender of Winter Olympic sports.

But...we are the most powerful nation in the world...full of unmatched resources!

So ...."What the problem is?"

Remembering 9/11

Wow!   Has it really been eleven years?

Do you remember where you were?   What you were doing?

I remember.   Went to work that morning with the news that some idiot plane ran into one of the World Trade Center buildings.   Then things started to unravel.   Another plane hit.   Then another at the Pentagon.

The Mall I was in ....closed....shut down.    And for the next 24 hours my eyes were glued to the television.   It was the first and only time in my life time that all 300 + cable channels and regular channels were carrying the coverage of the event that forever changed our life style and country...the United States of America.

The country was united.   There were no Republicans or Democrats.   We were all Americans who shared this horrific tragedy.

We remember.....yesterday:
