Merry Christmas!

Oh holy night!
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
Till he appear'd and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn!

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

Led by the light of Faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here come the wise men from Orient land
The King of Kings lay thus in lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friend

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
Let all within us praise His holy name

My Quest for New Wheels

In my search for new wheels, it was initially recommended by Roland M. that I look into the three-wheel OBM car (the first photo shown above) planned to be mass-produced in 2010 by GM. I scrapped that recommendation when I decided on a car that is sleek, agressive and captivating.

.

The car must possess sharp character lines, which mirror a bold stance; and developed with wind cheating aerodynamics. It must have a low roofline and with a pre-designed chiseled front to look more sporty. And when I drive the car, it must not only be adaptable to a straight line acceleration on smooth dry roads, but it must also possess a strong traction on curves and importantly when it hits wet or snow covered roads. This is a major change and a deviation from the mini-van I've been driving for years.

.

Since electrifying panels are ever present in cockpits of newer car models, I insist that the interior must have a sophisticated design that leans in the direction of elegance that provides dramatic lighting and generous personal space.

.

With the help of Vincent, my quest for a new car has ended. Now, I'm off to the desert to drive my ............ ohhhh.. Ba Ma Wheeler 328xi .......the ultimate driving machine!

.

My car advisor is Jack Polman. I recommend him highly - you can get in touch with him at the BMW Center in Ridgefield, Connecticut (Tel: 203-438-0471). Email him for advise, the address is jpolman@bmwofridgefield.com

A company was doing a security audit of its network. During the audit, it was discovered that Jon Athan's password was: . . . . . . . .'MickeyMinniePlutoGoofyDonaldHueyLouieDewey'

The auditors asked why Jon Athan had such a long password. He replied that he was told that passwords must be at least eight characters long.

Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa is an equestrian-themed, Victorian-style Disney Deluxe Villa Resort on the shores of Lake Buena Vista. The inviting buildings and grounds of this 65-acre Resort are inspired by historic Saratoga Springs, a late-1800s New York retreat famous for its spas and horse racing. Stroll among the Resort's green rolling hills, gurgling fountains and placid lakes.

Nature lovers and Guests seeking a bit more privacy should check out the Treehouse Villas. These stand-alone structures—elevated 10 feet off the ground on pedestals and beams—are nestled unobtrusively into natural glens alongside the Sassagoula River.

The main High Rock Spring Pool has craggy rocks with cascading water surrounding the zero-entry pool. There is a waterslide, two whirlpools and a play area for the Cuzn's from New York and Connecticut.

Orlando in October

This modern day Basilica is a 'must' visit for all, especially those of Catholic faith. It was began as a small ministry and grew to a magnificent house of faith built upon the involvement and generosity of visitors from all over the world. Vacationers can visit and enjoy the tranquil surroundings and commune with their Creator and Lord.

Saturday in the Park!

While the NY Yankees are away from home - playing in Seattle, what a better way to spend a baseball weekend and see the other NY baseball franchise - the New York Mets - play the Nationals at CitiField! The NY Mets toppled the Washington Nationals 3-2.
.
CitiField features an open-air ballpark with unprecedented sightlines, amenities and comfort for fans and visitors. A contoured seating configuration brings spectators closer to the field on all levels to provide optimal sightlines for a more intimate and entertaining experience. The concourse level features 360-degree, walk around circulation around the ballpark with expansive field views. The stadium is built with massive structures of brick, limestone, granite and exposed structural steel bridges.
.
This stadium had been caught in the middle of a major controversial bailout of Citibank by the US government. Questions were launched in this landmark partnership of Citibank and the Mets franchise. The probes have recently cooled off, however, when these two organizations showed significant commitments to the community with resources to develop outreach programs in and around New York City.

Good Ol'Dawg!

Two hours before showtime, fans trickled in from Jersey, Connecticut and the suburbs of New York. The roar of the iron horses from Manhattan, Queens and Brooklyn came to a screeching halt infront of the Yankee Stadium. At Babe Ruth Plaza, between Gates 6 and 4, there was the Good Ol'Dawg and several teams of "How May I Help You" squad were around to greet the fans. The gates opened, lines moved quickly for security check, my ticket was scanned under a reader, walked through the turnstile, and I was on my way to Luxury Suite 22. I was there to witness the Bronx Bombers trump the Baltimore Orioles 5-3. I was definitely at the "Home of Champions."

AMA on ObamaCare

The American Medical Association has weighed in on Obama's new health care package.
.
The Allergists were in favor of scratching it, but the Dermatologists advised not to make any rash moves. The Gastroenterologists had sort of a gut feeling about it, but the Neurologists thought the Administration had a lot of nerve.
.
Meanwhile, Obstetricians felt certain everyone was laboring under a misconception, while the Ophthalmologists considered the idea shortsighted. Pathologists yelled, "Over my dead body!", while the Pediatricians said, "Oh, grow up!"
.
The Psychiatrists thought the whole idea was madness, while the Radiologists could see right through it. Surgeons decided to wash their hands of the whole thing and the Internists claimed it would indeed be a bitter pill to swallow. The Plastic Surgeons opined that this proposal would "put a whole new face on the matter".
.
The Podiatrists thought it was a step forward, but the Urologists were pissed off at the whole idea. Anesthesiologists thought the whole idea was a gas, and those softy Cardiologists didn't have the heart to say no.
.
In the end, the Proctologists won out, leaving the entire decision up to the legislators in Washington.
