MEMORIAL DAY

Don't let the current regimen ruin the holiday for those who the day is truly meant to be for. Today we should come together as a nation to honor and remember those who paid the ultimate price to protect country and freedoms.

SEASIDE

 Thank heavens its Friday, and none too soon!! I work a 6 hour day today then will be heading to Rehoboth Beach for five days for a gathering of the clan for the weekend. The seaside is by far my favorite place to be. Sand. Sea. Sin. All packed already, swim cap and parasol included!!!

I'll return sometime next week..sooner or later

AT THE RITZ....

...MEANWHILE....

This hummingboid got good taste!

Sometimes a company and humans can surprise me and not very often. This story was too nice to not share. At the Ritz Carlton Rancho Mirage, an extraordinary moment unfolds when a tiny hummingboid picked an unexpected place to build its little nest-right on a door handle in the main entrance of doors. Rather than move it or knock it down, the Ritz chose a different path; they closed off the entire front set of entrance doors, across the front on the main side of the building and redirected guests into a secondary door on the side, putting the bird and it's two young, safety above the convenience of getting in the building. A great story and it spread fast, capturing attention as a rare example of a luxury brand choosing compassion and respect for nature even at the cost of disrupting daily operations and people bitching about walking the whole way around to use the secondary door. A billion-dollar a year hotel...doing right by a creature small enough to fit in the hand of a baby. I have read stories of other places knocking nest down once built, or even after eggs are in it...but this is nice to read...

And back in my high school years, friends could never understand why I and the jocks got along so well.

I'd say, " Hey boys, forget about the match."
