Today started as a wonderful holiday - President's Day. Yes - a day that honor's past American hero's with mattress sales and postal service shutdowns. Why do you think President's are associated with mattresses? Does Monica L. or Marilyn Monroe come to mind?

However, President's do incite history lessons. I learned a new unpleasant lesson today that hopefully will go down in my history and not be repeated. My unorganized, memory laden ways finally caught up with me as a missed appointment. Therefore, I have to write a hefty check for no benefit or return what-so-ever. Money just out the door. Whatever happened to loyalty - one free pass? Time to get organized!!!!

Let us resolve to be masters, not the victims, of our history, controlling our own destiny without giving way to blind suspicions and emotions. - John F. Kennedy
