Special thanks to Dale for featuring me in one of her Advent posts promoting other bloggers – and cheers to her grand idea of promoting others!
Last week I shamefully forgot to wish Happy Hanukkah to my Jewish friends. In the spirit of Bohemian Rhapsody, this version for the Festival of Lights made me smile. Chag sameach!
Recently, Ohio (my state) became the first state allowing residents to pay taxes with Bitcoins.
The previous post was about my visit to Auschwitz. If I could take everyone in the world to one place on Earth, Auschwitz may be my choice.

Last Saturday morning I awoke to the news of the passing of former president George H. W. Bush. It’s been a good week of salutes to a good, decent man who believed in honor public service for the country. A salute to a life well lived.
I stated this before on these pages, and the time is right to repeat it: the elder President Bush had it right about Iraq.
Another thought about Bush 41. He may have been the greatest Presidential Statesman of my lifetime.
The funeral signified a glorious sunset on the Greatest Generation. Cheers to that generation!
