Everyone’s talking healthcare!

I’m so proud that the healthcare bill has passed.  In our family (my mom, me and my 10-year old daughter) we pay almost $2,000/month for coverage and prescription medications.  That’s stunning.  My mother cannot shop for different providers because she has Type 2 diabetes and pays to be covered in a more expensive [...]

Text messaging for politicians

Couldn’t sleep, so I decided to take a shower at 4:30 am.  When I’m that wired, it usually indicates I’ve got a lot on my plate and I haven’t got my process for dealing with that plate sorted out.  So, shower it was.  And in the shower, my mind has a tendency to [...]

Haiti

Like most of the people in the rest of the world, I’m devastated by the aftermath to our human race that the tragic earthquake in Haiti has wrought.  I was watching Anderson Cooper on CNN last night as he was talking with Sanjay Gupta about the night Sanjay had spent after operating on a [...]

The Princess and The Frog

When any new movie comes out that appeals to my 9-year old, we  “HAVE” to go.  We “MUST”.  Otherwise, she’ll just “DIE!”  This past Sunday night, I did a very unparent-like thing.  I took my daughter to the 7 pm showing of Disney’s “The Princess and The Frog”.  OK.  It is wonderful.  Do [...]

Whirlwind days at LA Auto Show…and for GM in more ways than one.

There are two aspects to the LA Auto Show that have captured my attention this year.  The first is the innovation that is emerging in sustainable energy (and I’ll have a post just on the green cars I enjoyed test driving.)  The second is the continual shakeup in the auto industy — this time at GM.

Is the Cruze gonna cruise?

Volt is on the left and Cruze is on the right

The great thing about the Auto Show media events is that you get to speak with the designers and marketers and really get inside their heads and their visions for their cars.  Today’s Chevrolet event highlighted the Volt and the Cruze.  [...]

Wow…what a morning for GM.

On the heels of a really impressive morning, exploring the Cadillac lineup and the stylish Chevrolet Cruze (and one of my faves, the Volt), comes the announcement from General Motors that Fritz Henderson has resigned as President and CEO of General Motors.   I was kind of surprised.  I’m a taxpayer, so I guess his [...]

Seriously…how can you NOT vote in health care reform…written by a 50-year old in colonoscopy disbelief

When you turn 50 that sets you up for a series of tests to see how unhealthy you are becoming.  So far I’ve had my annual physical…resting heart seems to be fine.  Waiting on the blood tests.  Mammogram fine.  Bone density…not so good.  Some calcium deterioration.  It’s called “osteopenia”.  Fun.  Still have the [...]

When a comment on Healthcare Reform becomes a post.

On August 20th, I wrote a blog post (again) about healthcare reform.  In it, I focused on the cost of insurance for anyone not insured through their employer, or with a pre-existing condition.  One reader, Lisa Alkana, made a very good comment, on what to me, seems like a basic human right.  Her [...]
