Welcome to 1/11/11..hoping it is not the loneliest number, www.threedognight.com/l_one.html and the best area in Florida to live and work.

As the weather gets nasty in the Northeast, football begins to end, and the first of the Baby Boomers begin to hit retirement age, Lee County Florida has an offer that is tough to refuse. Obviously us Boomers (in "69, I was 21") www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_on_Empty_album account for over 25%of the U.S population an still have input into how this country should be run or crawl into the future. Since we got hammered in our finaces in the most recent Recession, does that mean we work longer, put off moving to the sunny Florida paradise we always dreamed of? Unemployment, coupled with net worth losses exceeding $9 Trillion dollars in stock and equity, and an erie sense of national estem decline and fall, make today's living a surreal challenge to the American Dream.

Our generation was regarded as the new wave when we began influencing Americana back in the 60's and 70's. Now, as we view life from "our" experiences, can we make supreme sacrifices to better "our way of living". Currently stagnant, can we jump start progression to a new genesis? We might be to stressed to change our thinking modes on how we can accomplish a return to the "Days of Wine and Roses" www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Wine_and_Roses(film) maybe without the alcohol addiction. More than 55% of us oppose a Federal sales tax, and along with our oppostion to taxing company provided health care benefits and getting rid of the tax deduction for mortgage interest (both of these would really hurt me :( ), we really need to come to an agreement. Our illustrious Congress is currently faced with many of these and other complex issues. Let's watch them closely and see if they are our real Ambassadors of our best thoughts. Meanwhile, Live Life in Lee. :)
