I was working in Kansas City last week and while I was out with a client they suggested I try the “Egg Burger”? I had never heard of the “egg burger” but apparently it is very popular. Basically for those of you that are newcomers to the egg burger, this is a hamburger topped with a fried egg (soft yoke), bacon, tomato and any other toppings you think would be good. I also add Ketchup. Short story, I loved it and so I promised my kids I was going to make them an egg burger. So I did tonight and above is the finished product!!! Kids loved it, I loved it and as they say in KC, breakfast, lunch and dinner all in one burger!!
It was far from a “Spring” time race in Norway, Michigan this past Saturday! As a matter of fact it seemed more like the Norway Winter Classic. Cold temps, drizzle, sleet and then snow didn’t stop the many that took part in their choice of a two mile, 5k or 10k race. It was a great day for no other reason than I was able to take part in the event with my oldest son, Nick. Nick, 13 years old decided to run the 2 mile event and ended up winning the overall event!! What a bonus that was for us all. Since he did win it, I felt I should go buy him a pair of running shoes the next day. The basketball shoes did the trick this time but I think it’s time for him to become a runner, right?
My belief is the loudest voice has been listened to in the United States far to long. The opinions of minorities in this country have controlled the agenda for at least a decade. Both sides of the aisle have bowed to special interest and have now created a playground of political correctness that creates an atmosphere of acceptance on “all” issues from social to economic. It’s just crippling meaningful debate and stifling progress and compromise!
I’ve been very motivated by the actions of the “Tea Party” and all those who have broken away from the commitments of daily life to express their opinions and disagreements with what is taking place in our country today. I’m a Conservative and I find my Liberal friends are agreeing with me on many fiscal issues including Health Care, Bailouts, Taxes and the overall out of control spending our Government is participating in. There are principled Dems and Republicans that understand the spending must STOP! We do have issues we can agree on together. We are no longer as divided as the media wants you to believe. Polls are taken on specific topics that create division. This is why the “Tea Party” is uniting so many Americans. Our agreements are strongly rooted in the corruption of the system. The double talk of many elected leaders and the need to deeply understand what is being said and the legislation being passed. Simplify the Process at all levels so WE understand and our elected officials understand, all of them!
In Presidents Obama’s remarks yesterday at a fundraiser, he stated the Middle Class of this country should be thanking him for all the tax cuts he’s provided to us and not protesting the Administration for raising taxes. Huh? The arrogance of this President and this Administration is frightening. Mr. President, if we are not understanding you correctly please explain to us what we are not getting correct. Please allow fair and honest reporters to ask you questions with follow up questions so we can make sure YOU understand the question being asked, just in case you may wonder off of the original question being asked of you.
The one thing I thank President Obama for is going so far to the LEFT and continuing to push it even further. He has awakened the silent voice of the Majority and it’s getting louder and louder. Let’s all promise ourselves to get more involved. Politicians can not be referred to as crooks. We must elect leaders that stand on principals. We must restore our government to be an honorable and privileged place to work. If we don’t, the offices will be empty and our children will never get involved in Public Office. Congratulations to the few that are carrying the weight of the country on there shoulders. They are not all bad apples but only a few ruin the pie!
Just returned from day one of the 6th grade boys basketball tournament in Oconto Falls, Wisconsin. The boys took 2 games out of 3 and finished strong today. It was great to see the effort they put into all the games. Although game one was lacking the urgency for victory, the next two games were a pleasure to behold!
Tomorrow is the last day of the tournament and the last day of the basketball season for the 6th graders. I only hope this: that they play as hard as they did today and leave nothing behind. They could win this tournament and what a great finish and accomplishment it would be but if it doesn’t work out, I’m convinced they will compete with everything they have within them and really what more could one ask?
As a child, I never thought that watching your own children participate and compete in athletics would be as fun as playing the game yourself. As so many childhood beliefs seem factual at the time they’re conceived, I must admit dispelling them can be so much fun!
