Washington's Farewell

Submitted by Admin on

“Against the insidious wiles of foreign influence (I conjure you to believe me, fellow-citizens) the jealousy of a free people ought to be constantly awake since history and experience prove that foreign influence is one of the most baneful foes of republican government. But that jealousy to be useful must be impartial; else it becomes the instrument of the very influence to be avoided, instead of a defense against it.” US President George Washington's Farewell Address in 1796.

THREE BLIND MICE?

As a child, I have fond memories of watching The Three Stooges and The Wizzard of Oz during the holidays. I also recall listening to the Famous Nursery Rhyme Three Blind Mice.

For all the talk about loyalty, The Donald's decision to exclude three of his most dedicated supporters reminds me of an old saying my parents repeatedly used... Actions speak louder than words.

YC Drinks

He was working behind the bar before he could legally drink. Soon to be twenty-one-year-old YC was waiting and bartending to pay the bills, but the job awoke a passion for service and the proper crafting of a cocktail.

A couple of years later, YC serves Self-inspired craft cocktails that he thoughtfully developed. You’ll find classics, but what he stirs up for patrons on a particular day depends on many factors, including the day of the week, the holiday and last but not least... The weather.

WHITE CHRISTMAS?

My video surveillance cameras saw it first and then my eyes confirmed the snow. There's apparently going to be a white and cold Christmas in New York City, unless the white flakes melt before December the 24th.

Please, allow me to offer a few favorites, beginning with my DaD's number one crooner, Bing Crosby.

May God shower his holiest birthday wishes, Pope FRANCIS.

It's Pope Francis birthday and you may send him email greetings in multiple languages. But you won't catch the pontiff voicing any birthday wishes ahead of the big day: "In my homeland, voicing wishes early brings bad luck and those who voice wishes early are a jinx." The Pontiff won't be taking the day off, either.
