I Want To Go To Disney World...



I want to go to Disney World
To fly there on a plane
I'd travel in first class of course
The pilot would know my name

At MCO I'd be met
And driven to my resort
The Grand Floridian or Polynesian
My choice as my home port

At the Magic Kingdom
I'd go on every ride
I'd tour the Haunted Mansion
Ghost host right by my side

At Hollywood Studios I would dine
At Epcot I would drink
Animal Kingdom I'd tour slowly
So much to see and do, I think

Or perhaps...


I want to go to the beach
To stand on the ocean shore
To watch the sunrise and later set
To feel the breeze once more
 The smell of suntan lotion
the sound of crashing sea
I'd dive right in to meet the waves
Let the ocean carry me

I'd build a tall sandcastle
Feel the sun upon my face
My whole day would be perfect
In this calm and beautiful place

Or maybe...


I want to go to the mountains
where the air is fresh and clean
Sit back and simply listen
as nature is so serene

From a rocking chair on a porch 
I'd watch fluffy clouds go by
I'd sip my coffee or my wine
As overhead birds would fly

I'd hike beside a mountain stream
I'd canoe the pristine lake
Evenings I would count the stars
As if they were mine to take


But still...


I will not go to Disney World 
Nor the mountains or the sea
Now is NOT the time to do so
Home is where I must be

What I want and what I need
They are two different things
I need to keep my family safe
Nestled safe under my wings

To heal this broken and ailing world
To rid it of this pandemic
We ALL must do what experts recommend
To avoid further epidemic

Stay home; stay safe
Wear a mask and keep your distance 
It may not be what we want
But what we need in this instance

There will be time for Disney World
For the mountains and the sea
For all the places we love to go
With friends and family

But now is NOT the time my friends
To do so would be wrong
Show respect; act responsibly
Or else our wait will be so long

We want to work, we want to play
We want to hug our friends
But we MUST wait; help save mankind
Or this may never end

There will be time for Disney World
For shopping at the mall
But for now, we NEED to wait
For the health of one and all.

We Have Taken America Back

Image
Back to a time when all men (and women) are not created equal.  Where women's healthcare is determined by men's laws and not by medical professionals. Where education tells only the "winning" side of the story and truth does not matter.  Where banning and burning books is a social event.  Where people who are "different" than those in power can be mocked, shunned and hurt with no real consequences. Where lies are acceptable and integrity is  just a word on a page We have moved into a time where rage is the rage.  Where hate is not just normal, but accepted and even cheered. Where leaders can ask to have their "enemies" killed and no one will bat an eye.  Where it's "funny" to see someone struggle.  Where felony is applauded. Where compassion is not shown and caring for others is looked down upon. We have taken America back to a time of pain and suffering for many.  Back to when the "haves" can have and the have nots don'...

It's Not About Starbucks (or is it)?

Image
  About a block and a half from my home in a major intersection.  At the southeast corner (which is nearest to me), is an empty building.  Back in 1995 it was a Bank of NY (I remember this because they didn't shovel/de-ice their parking lot well and my husband fell and broke his ankle one Monday morning.  I recall this clearly because we were not yet married and it was the first day of a new job for me.  I had gotten on the bus to work and he was catching a later one; only he never got there.  Instead he ended up laying on the ground until an employee came to open up the bank.  Then he had them call an ambulance AND my mother who took control of the situation until I arrived home that night blissfully unaware of what had happened that day.)  It eventually became a Chase Bank; the second one in my small little town.  It eventually closed.  I'm not sure when but it's been empty for quite a long time.  (I do know that it was open in 20...

As Is

Image
  Today I want to discuss what I think it is a relatively simple concept, but may be difficult for some, even an attorney who might have once, over a decade ago won a  prestigious award  for young lawyers .  That term is "AS IS." As you may know, I volunteer in a thrift shop.  Everything we sell, from all the donations we receive, is "as is."  The items are not brand new.  They are not perfect.  That doesn't mean they aren't any good or worth something. They are sold "as is."  Buyers should go in knowing that. (After all you are shopping in a thrift shop!)  In some cases, particularly when we are offering higher end products, we will actually write on the price tag, "as is." Such is the case of two designer purses that I purchased from there this summer.  (I'm a purse-aholic!  Don't look in my closet.)  They were reasonably priced (especially when you consider the name brand), but each had an "as is" clearly marked o...
