Happy 60th Birthday Mom

My Mom would be 60 today. I miss her the same as I did when she passed away almost 13 years ago. I used to take today off from work, try to find some way to get away from my thoughts, family and distract myself. I realized that the more I celebrate how she lived, the more I talk about her, the better I feel. And that's part of it. This year I'll be getting married. It's one of those milestones I always thought my mom would be present for...I haven't quite figured out how to tip my hat to her during the ceremony... Today though Mom would be 60. A young, funny and vibrant 60. Undoubtedly she'd be in the kitchen, listening to the Beverly Hills soundtrack or Kenny Loggins and making sure we set the table properly for the day's feast.

I have a new five-year plan, much more focused and with high expectations. I hope to overachieve in the years to come. Tonight I'm going to drink to 30 more years with my favorite person in the world, my lady. Here are your highlights: Obama on "60 Minutes" in a poignant interview How to make education worse in America, out pricing it Torture apologist Liz Cheney hits new all time low . I didn't know that was p...

Happy Birthday to my lady!!!! Hooray for my fiance! Yup, today is my lady's birthday and this past weekend we spent it shopping, eating delicious food and swimming with the dolphins! Okay not really on that last part, but we did go to Shedd Aquarium and it was awesome. Tonight I'm taking her to one last romantical rockin dinner. So if you know my lady personally, head over to her Facebook and wish her a happy birthday!! Here are your highlights: If Ryan's Plan does pass , will insurance companies even partake?
