A Life Well Lived

Today, America lost one of its great politicians ... and more importantly a decent man.

Senator George McGovern passed away this morning at the age of 90.

In his 50+ years as a public servant, McGovern made major contributions to the anti-war and civil rights movements. In his later years, he immersed himself in the fight to end world hunger. His 1972 Presidential run helped launch the political careers of Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham.

I'd like to think that we will see future politicians cut from his cloth, but I highly doubt it.

Has it been 5 years already?

Wow ... Time really flies when you are killing people.

It is traditional to give a thoughful gift on these major relationship milestones.

"Etiquette in Society, in Business, in Politics and at Home" by Emily Post, published in 1922, contains some suitable suggestions for anniversary gifts for 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 50 and 75 year marks.

In England and America, 5 Years = Wood

I think this would make a suitable gift for George.

Equal Opportunity?

The Chinese use two brush strokes to write the word 'crisis'. One brush stroke stands for danger; the other for opportunity. In a crisis, be aware of the danger-but recognize the opportunity.
