My day is going pretty well so far. I haven’t really accomplished too much, I think it is one of my lazy days. I have spent a few hours working online, just doing random tasks. I went on my facebook for a little while and checked up on some friends, then played a few games. I danced around the house a little bit with my daughter. I caught up on a few episodes of Glee, then I cleaned up a little bit and made some pasta with garlic and olive oil for lunch. So, pretty much uneventful, but still a decent day nonetheless.

Health Care Reform Could Have Saved My Mom
I truly deeply hope we can get some kind of health care reform through Congress. My mother was a self employed realtor and my dad was the managing broker of their very own brokerage. Mom was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at age 53. Prior to that she had been miss diagnosed with lupus – it was cancer all along. Because of the lupus diagnosis she was deemed “uninsurable”. My father spent his entire life savings on three years of treatment. In the summer of 2007 mom lost her fight. My dad lost his wife and much more. While still grieving mom’s death the bills kept coming. After saving for 45 years he was forced to spend every dime of his IRA’s and 401K’s, he was forced to file a medical bankruptcy. He now manages a small store and will rely solely on Social Security for his retirement. If there had been some kind of public option my mom might have been screened and treated early on and we would still have her.

This is Where I Live, I Love It!
I currently lease a townhouse in Williamsburg VA. We just moved here because of a great job offer, family is here and the fact this is a great place to raise a family. There is a lot to see and do here. We go to Colonial Williamsburg a lot and spend a lot of time outdoors. The schools are marvelous, and there are lots of good colleges nearby when the time comes. We really like our townhouse; it is brand new with tall ceilings and an open floor plan. It might be the nicest place we have lived since getting married 6 years ago.

d button down shirt from old Navy, wool hiking socks and casual shoes from Bass. It is an odd December day even for Virginia, it’s around 70 ‘ F so I’m in short sleeves but I brought a light brown waterproof micro fiber jacket. I am wearing a gold and silver watch, wedding band and my maternal grandfather’s wedding band. I am also wearing boxers from the Gap Outlet my wife bought over the weekend. Although not currently on me I did wear in my red backpack with school books and laptop in it.
If the Sky Where the Limit I Would Go for This
A house with land, on the Piankatank river with a long view down the river to the bay. It would have a huge yard with old trees for my kids to pay in and on. It would have a long dock for a sail boat, it doesn’t matter if there is a boat there. The house would have a massive but friendly great room with floor to ceiling windows and both sides of my family could visit and be together. I would also have an amazing kitchen so I could cook for everyone.
What I Truly Value Can’t Be Bought or Replaced
May family means everything to me. I have a wonderful wife who is my very best friend. There is no other adult I would rather spend time with. She loves me unconditionally, frustrates me like no other, and makes me very happy. My son is an amazing little person of 18 months. I get so much joy in caring for him, teaching him and watching him become his own person daily. When I come through the door after work and he stops everything to run and see me and when he pats my back as a I hold him – I know my family means everything to me and I could never live without them.

I Remember the Fun I Had with My Mom as a Child – I Might have Been Dizzy However!
Some of the best memories of childhood were spent playing with my mom. We lived on a road that was a large circle about 1.5 miles around. She would put me in the bike seat that was bolted to the back of her bicycle and we would ride for what seemed like hours. I remember her long hair blowing back and tickling my face. She would bob and weave all over the road. After we were done she would start dinner and then we would share a Popsicle and sit on the front porch waiting for my dad to get home from work.

As a family we like to hike and explore the area we live in as it is in the Historic Triangle of Williamsburg, Jamestown and Yorktown Virginia. There are a great many trails, county and National Park areas to explore here. We also enjoy kayaking in the Piankatank River, Queens Creek and dozens of other small rivers, estuary and lakes on the Virginia coast. We also enjoy sailing in my father-in-laws 22 foot sailboat out of the Piankatank into the Mobjack Bay in the Spring, Summer and early Fall months. My father and I enjoy all of golf courses the area has to offer, we last played the Golden Horseshoe and had a great morning of golf.
Fire in the mountain
I still remember this game of childhood, used to play this game for hours. As time passed on got to know about fire and their safety features. Fire is a very small word but causes big damages. So knowing about its safety features is a must. Wet chemical fire extinguishers are used to prevent fire. Getting to know about this stuff is a must, who want to work as air hostess or who is working as a security guard. These are stuffs to be known if you are applying a job in these fields. Even a common man should know about this and should keep a large wet chemical fire extinguisher at home. STAY SAFE
