Creative Financing
Bush's Creative Financing Plan I bought my retirement home on the coast of Florida in the summer of 2005. This spacious three bedroom home, just minutes from the beach, has become an albatross. In retrospect, obviously, I paid too much money for the property. Historically, housing had always been a safe investment, similar to a money market fund. I invested the profit from the sale of my previous homes, $100,000 into a down payment... (posted by Rebecca 3 years 339 days ago.)

Meghan vs. Chelsea
In this whirlwind of Obama-mania that has swept over the 20somethings in our country, will either McCain's daughter, Meghan or Clinton's daughter, Chelsea be able to convince their peer group to abandon Barack? These adult children of our candidates must choose a path; they can stay far away from the campaign trail and maintain a "normal" life or they can support the parents they love at the expense of their own privacy. Chelsea... (posted by Rebecca 3 years 357 days ago.)

Las Vegas Strip Hotels
Almost all of the Las Vegas hotels located on the Strip have a theme. It's just a matter of choosing which one suits your fancy. Caesar's Palace features the luxuriously costumed players of ancient Rome in the "Fall of Atlantis" fountain show. At the Venetian you can take a gondola ride escorted by a rowing gondolier in traditional costume who will serenade you as you travel through the man made canals. Excalibur has a pirate theme...

Choosing A Candidate
Do we pick a President based on our own personality traits? At a small family dinner party tonight, we gathered round the circular oak antique table conversing congenially while we enjoyed an Italian meal. After completing our dinner, we migrated casually to the side porch. At this point, the conversation turned to politics. The tone and volume of our voices shifted as we exchanged views on the leading candidates for... (posted by Rebecca 4 years 4 days ago.)

Baby Boomer Dream
I had such grandiose ideas in my youth of my retirement years. I thought I would travel the globe, soaking in all the diversity of cultures in foreign lands. I saw myself as another Jack Kerouwac, writing as I sat sipping an espresso and listening to jazz in some quaint caf in Paris, then on to examine the rolling hills of Ireland seeking to recapture my Irish heritage. India's Taj Mahal would be next on my list, then on to tango in... (posted by Rebecca 4 years 7 days ago.)

Obama-To Be or Not To Be
After winning the Iowa caucus on the democratic ticket, the pundits were all raving about Obama and for good reason. He got a big financial boost from the victory but didn't his support basically come from an unprecedented number of new young independent enthusiasts? Historically speaking, younger people don't get out and vote in big numbers in a general election. Obama's public speaking skills and remarkable ability to think...
