I had a history teacher in high school who had a signature line that is engrained in my brain. I can still picture him standing in front of the class, with his finger pointed and his arm raised, bellowing “minority rules”. I thought he was crazy, but over the years, I have decided he was not. All it takes is one idiot to stir the pot. Case in point – did most of the world agree with Adolph Hitler? No, but he reigned with all of his craziness and influenced a select group to follow and the world lost innocent people savagely and horribly so this maniac could create a master race.

What a wonderful event we recently attended at a local restaurant. It was a wine tasting and food pairing. It was a great evening but I couldn’t help but notice that for many, it was their first wine tasting. Now, not to say that I’m a pro by any means but I have attended quite a few and can now say that I can see, sniff and sip like a pro!

It seems the Japanese have developed a manner in which divorce can be quickly settled by luring the men into clandestine affairs and documenting those affairs for the future court proceedings.

I recently read an interesting and disturbing article on honor killings in America. For those of you who aren’t familiar with honor killings, they are part of a new culture within our boundaries. With the increased number of Middle Eastern families there is an increase in the accepted behavior by some to kill those women who dishonor the men in their family. Yes, I said kill.

There are many charities that are asking for our help these days. Here is one for you to consider when opening up your checkbook. Partners, Ivanka Trump and Elizabeth Gore, have joined forces to launch Girl Up, a campaign to get women here involved with girls from developing countries without leaving home.

“While girls in the United States are more educated, socially connected, and empowered than ever before, many girls in developing countries still struggle for the opportunity to go to school, see a doctor, or be included in their communities.”

Today we went to have our RV checked our prior to our next adventure in July. Ironically today I also came across an article in Redbook magazine about a family that took its first Great American Road Trip.
