Hi! Welcome to my little corner of the Internet. To know more about me and my interests, just click on one of the buttons that is a little further down this page and it will instantaneously transport you to one of my pages. I hope you will enjoy your stay.
If you have been coming to my web site on a regular basis and have noticed that I have not been making any changes or updates to my site, I am very sorry that has happened. My apologies to you for not updating as often as you like and as often as I should. However, ever since September 11th, 2001 and with our nation's ongoing war against terrorism and I do work for a Defense Department agency that is help supporting Operations Enduring Freedom and Noble Eagle, making any updates or changes to my site has been next to impossible. I will try to do my best to keep this web site updated with the latest news on yours and my favorite shows, but I cannot make any promises that I will. I hope that you will understand and thank you for your patience. And please, keep coming.
"Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe to assure the survival and the success of liberty."
President John F. Kennedy
January 20th, 1961
"Those who believe in God know that evil and death do not have the final say."
Pope John Paul II
"We, the democracies of this world, are going to have to come together to fight it and eradicate this evil completely from our world."
British Prime Minister Tony Blair
"This is a war between good and evil and between humanity and the bloodthirsty."
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon
"Terrorism must be fought resolutely wherever it appears."
United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan
"It is impossible to fully comprehend the evil that would have conjured up such a cowardly and depraved assault."
Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrtien
"The entire international community should unite in the struggle against terrorism...this is a blatant challenge to humanity."
Russian President Vladimir Putin
"We will not let these values be destroyed in Europe, America or anywhere in the world."
German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder
"We reiterate our complete, emphatic rejection of all forms of violence and all forms of terrorism."
Mexican President Vicente Fox
"This outrageous and vicious act of violence against the United States is unforgivable."
Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi
"Are you ready? Let's roll!"
Todd Beamer
Passenger on United Airlines Flight 93 just moments before he and fellow passengers Mark Bingham, Thomas Burnett and Jeremy Glick courageously fought with the terrorists, forcing the hijacked plane to crash in a rural farm field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, well short of it's intended target of Washington, DC. They are true heroes.
"Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist acts. The victims were in airplanes, or in their offices; secretaries, businessmen and women, military and federal workers; moms and dads, friends and neighbors. Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror."
"The pictures of airplanes flying into buildings, fires burning, huge structures collapsing, have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness, and a quiet, unyielding anger. These acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat. But they have failed; our country is strong."
"A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve."
"America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining."
"Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America -- with the daring of our rescue workers, with the caring for strangers and neighbors who came to give blood and help in any way they could."
"We will make no distinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them."
"This is a day when all Americans from every walk of life unite in our resolve
for justice and peace. America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time. None of us will ever forget this day. Yet, we go forward to defend freedom and all that is good and just in our world."
President George W. Bush
The White House
Washington, DC

"War has been waged against us by stealth and deceit and murder. This nation is peaceful, but fierce when stirred to anger. This conflict was begun on the timing and terms of others. It will end in a way, and at an hour, of our choosing."
"And we have seen our national character in eloquent acts of sacrifice. Inside the World Trade Center, one man who could have saved himself stayed until the end at the side of his quadriplegic friend. A beloved priest died giving the last rites to a firefighter. Two office workers, finding a disabled stranger, carried her down sixty-eight floors to safety. A group of men drove through the night from Dallas to Washington to bring skin grafts for burn victims."
"America is a nation full of good fortune, with so much to be grateful for. But we are not spared from suffering. In every generation, the world has produced enemies of human freedom. They have attacked America, because we are freedom's home and defender. And the commitment of our fathers is now the calling of our time."
President George W. Bush
National Day of Prayer and Remembrance
The National Cathedral
Washington, DC

"I can hear you. I can hear you. The rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
President George W. Bush
Ground Zero
New York City, NY
Friday, September 14, 2001
"We have seen the state of our Union in the endurance of rescuers, working past exhaustion. We have seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers -- in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. We have seen the decency of a loving and giving people who have made the grief of strangers their own."
"Tonight we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger, and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice, or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done."
"America will never forget the sounds of our National Anthem playing at Buckingham Palace, on the streets of Paris, and at Berlin's Brandenburg Gate. We will not forget South Korean children gathering to pray outside our embassy in Seoul, or the prayers of sympathy offered at a mosque in Cairo. We will not forget moments of silence and days of mourning in Australia and Africa and Latin America."
"On September the 11th, enemies of freedom committed an act of war against our country."
"Our war on terror begins with al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated."
"Every nation, in every region, now has a decision to make. Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
"This is not, however, just America's fight. And what is at stake is not just
America's freedom. This is the world's fight. This is civilization's fight. This is the fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and freedom."
"Great harm has been done to us. We have suffered great loss. And in our
grief and anger we have found our mission and our moment. Freedom and fear are at war. The advance of human freedom -- the great achievement of our time, and the great hope of every time -- now depends on us. Our nation -- this generation -- will lift a dark threat of violence from our people and our future. We will rally the world to this cause by our efforts, by our courage. We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail."
President George W. Bush

June is the month for high school and college graduations, weddings and Father's Day. So, if you don't know what to give to the happy couple, and instead of putting yourself in hock by giving the graduate an expensive car and giving dad another hideous tie, why not give something they would really need or like. And at the same time you would help me earn some easy extra money. Click on the Amazon.com logo to find out how.
