We The People Stimulus package

This guy's video on YouTube has been so popular that Obama Called him personally . He said that he was very disturbed with the video and invited him to the White House. Obama also said he wanted the White House to handle the Press and not to talk about the video or the White House visit. That's interesting. Watch it now. This may be the best six minutes invested in your future. You may have to turn your Sound Control up some. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeYscnFpEyA

Does any more need to be said?

MY HERITAGE

Sometimes I like to think about where I came from. I know I was born in Detroit, and my grandparents came down from somewhere in Canada and settled in Michigan. But my great grandfather Finley was born in Inverness Scotland. Our clan is MacInnes. That is my dads side. I don't know much about my mom's side. But I hear there is a history somewhere.

The top left picture is the clan coat of arms.

This next one is the family crest with the clan motto on it. "Ghift Dhe Agus Righ" when translated means: "By the Grace of God and King

Below are some pictures of the highlands of Scotland, the Loch Ness River and the Falls of Clyde Scotland

I hope you have enjoyed this little trip the land of my heritage. I did.

Until next time...

JOINED A HEALTH CLUB

I haven't been this excited in a long time. I joined Orchard Hill Health Club last night. The have an indoor heated pool, a jacuzzi and sauna. They offer water aerobics 2 nights a week at a time I can actually commit to. I had so much fun last night I could have stayed in the water all night. Check out this pool slide from their outdoor pool!

The indoor pool is functional and just what I need.

So I have high expectation of not only having a good time, but getting back in shape.

All for now.

Check ya later.

Summer Vacation 2009

Well, we left for Old Orchard Beach on Saturday June 27. It was hazy out and traffice was good. It promised to be horrible the next weekend because it would acturally be the 4th of July. We arrived about 1 in the afternoon and set up for the week. Then the rain came. Sometimes it sprinkled and sometimes it misted. Othertimes it downright poured. We were there for the coldest night on record for that date in history. I don't know how many inches we actually got but some of the cam sites were flooded out. Many people left, some stuck it out.

When it wasn't raining too hard, we walked to the beach. We went to the flea market 3 times, but didn't get any fleas. We saw the latest Star Trek movie - what else do you do in the rain?

One day we ate junk food at the beach that actually cost more than if we would have went out to dinner. The fries were soggy and tasteless. The most fun I had with those was feeding the seagulls. I love seagulls. They remind me of the beach. I made a lot of seagull friends that day. At least 50. I went back to the campsite and made my own french fries. Much better.

Things to think about doing if you end up on a rainy vacation. Bring lots and lots of money so you can go to the outlets and spend, spend, spend. Find out what activities are indoors and cheap. Go there. Confinement for too long can make you crazy. I wanted to go bowling but didn't get to the bowling alley.

The races were rained out. Even the fireworks were outdone by the lightning works that were going on at the same time, while rain dampened almost everyones fun time. We said silly things to each other and laughed like crazy. All in all, it could have been worse.

Hoping for better weather next year.
