Flight 1549 Passenger Story Is Important Reminder
Posted by: | Comments
This morning I had the opportunity to hear from one of the passengers who was on USAir Flight 1549 that crash landed in the Hudson River. He spoke about understanding why he thinks everyone survived and reminded us to think about the important things in life by being better husbands, sons, fathers, brothers and dads.
I look at what I have in my life; my family and my business. He reminded me to be grateful for what I have and never take it or anyone for granted – not that I ever do. Read More→
Billy Joel & Elton John Concert
Posted by: | CommentsImagine dining uptown under Carolina Blue skies. You say to yourself, “The food’s great and so is the atmosphere but can it get any better?”
Two hours later the evening goes from good to out of this world! Here I am a 59 year old baby boomer who remembers the 70’s like it was yesterday when the only thing I had to worry about was Read More→
Stimulus Needs To Stop!
Posted by: | CommentsThe American Heritage Dictionary defines the word Stimulus as “anything causing or regarded as causing a response. Something that rouses to action; an incentive.”
We continue to pour money to bail out AIG, banks, auto industry and the like. Instead of doing that, why not give every adult over the age of 18 a stimulus in the amount of 1 million dollars? Read More→

Snow in Charlotte, North Carolina
Posted by: | Comments
The snow was falling early this morning
Yes it does snow in Charlotte! Proof is in the pictures I took this morning as the flakes were falling in Southeast Charlotte, cancelling school and causing many to stay home from work. Many who didn’t grow up in this area like to laugh at Southerners who appear to panic at the first flake and stay home as long as anything white remains on the ground Read More→
Christmas Lights With Music in Charlotte 2008
Posted by: | CommentsThis video of Christmas lights with music by Trans Siberian Orchestra is one of the best light displays I’ve ever seen. Charlotte used to have Christmas lights like this, but I don’t know if it’s been continued.
As technology continues to evolve, it seemingly affects all areas of our lives. Christmas light shows have become increasingly complex and wondrous to see. It’s no longer enough to simply drive around and admire the lights. For some of the larger displays, parking is almost required so as to enjoy the entire spectacular show complete with music!
This particular display (alas, not in Charlotte) was the winner of the Planet Christmas contest in Frisco, TX in 2005. It would be hard to top this one. Has anyone seen anything spectacular and worth a drive in the Charlotte area?
