Just a quickie this time. Check me out at Linkedin by clicking on the hyperlink. Newer to it, and I am looking for like minded groups.
Also, have been quite interested in the teachings of Ram Dass. Tell me what you think about him. Check him out here.

More pop culture and some shout outs
It always seems that so much is happening, and I never get here often enough to talk about it.
I mourn the passing of Dick Clark. He passed away on April 18, 2012 after a massive heart attack. He was such an icon to me. I remember every Saturday watching American Bandstand. I remember seeing many of my favorite performers on his show, as well as making certain that my groovy dance steps were hip on his show as well. I was also introduced to performers on his show -- ones that I have followed for a life time -- most namely Barry Manilow. And I mourned along with the kids on American Bandstand when we would lose a performer much too soon, like Andy Gibb. Great memories wrapped up in that show.
I am a child of the seventies -- graduating high school in 1981. Dick Clark was everywhere. Not only American Bandstand and his own production company, but it seemed as though he was forever the host of a game show or two -- as well as the unforgettable Dick Clark's Rockin' Eve every December 31 (which also happens to be one of my sisters' birthdays). How fun was it to stay up late to watch that shiny ball drop in Times Square?
Like so may things from my youth, things seems to slip away almost without notice sometimes.
Speaking of slipping away, my other sister's birthday is today! Happy birthday sis! My boys and I called her during the drive to school to sing happy birthday to her. It was a great morning. That is because loving yourself and others is a great way to live.
Finally, just a bit about home. We have a new dog. Nine year old Sam the Pomeranian is lovable and generally sweet tempered; he is a rescue with epilepsy and a thyroid condition. Daily medication keeps his medical conditions under control. Everyone falls in love with him -- and he just eats it up. He was bounced around a bit before landing in the Bradley house, but we plan on keeping him. Welcome to your forever home Sam!
