My girlfriend said she wants to go window shopping. I don't know why she needs a window; all the windows in her house are working fine :).

May be the average person might not afford to cruise in a Tesla, which is a superb invention of the automobile industry, but I have to admit that I am so proud to know that this highest safety rating electric car is made in America! Tesla drives around 250 miles per charge. It takes about 1 hour to charge. Based on a national average, the total fuel cost of a premium sedan is $5,182 and the Tesla fuel cost is $934. You save money, time and emission! 

We might not all be able to afford to buy a Tesla, but there are hundreds of items we need on a daily basis that are made in America that we can buy.  By buying things made in America, we will get a better quality and we will boost the economy of the country we live in. 

They say we get old too soon and we get smart too late. Enjoy each day and learn from it to prove the saying wrong.

"A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts"
~~Johnny Ray Ryder, Jr.

yours truly. Tonight at Stanford, I was fortunate to receive the best Table Topics speaker and the best Evaluator awards. They say "It is not about winning."However, I have to admit that it feels good when you are rewarded for hard work.

"He preached fair play and serenity
From hand cuffs and prison garb
From leg irons and prison bars

He taught triumph over loss
And love over despair
Hallelujah over the dirges and
Joy over moaning.

Fear not, we’ve come too far to turn back
We are not afraid, and

We shall overcome
We shall overcome
Deep in my heart 
I do believe 
We shall overcome
Someday."
~~Dr. Maya Angelou

I am here at Pebble Beach in Carmel. It is the spot where the high society come to golf. When I see the affluence here, I am often reminded that these mega successful people experienced major failures many times in their past before they struck gold.
