My  family’s Christmas Dinner included lemonade made by my daughter Lauren. She used just 2 and 1/2 lemons from my lemon tree to make a gallon of it and it was strong juicy lemonade. The lemons on this tree are so big and juicy, I don’t believe the average person has ever seen such huge lemons.

The other amazing thing about these lemons is that they were picked at Christmas.  Wish my folks were around to see them. My Christmas Dinner included by sisters, Fran Ellisor and Jeannie Markovich and my cousin Margaret Yeager, of course. Missing was my daughter Elektra Rose and my sister Bonnie Hinrichs and my nephews and nieces who live as far away as Hawaii and Sugar Land.

My holidays, thus far have been incredibly eventful.  Both wonderful and incredible things have happened to me.

I loved watching you tell Lieberman how the cow ate the cabbage. If anyone deserves to be shutdown it is him.

Of course, she worked most of the time using skype was nice to see her though and she bought me dinner a couple of times in addition to going shopping for a little while. She will be back for Christmas with Lauren and we will go to San Antonio to celebrate with their grandmother who’s condition is stable for the moment.

In the summer of 1969 I was living in Anchorage Alaska. I took a trip to Seward  a short days ride from Anchorage, and we came upon Portage Glacier which lies south of Anchorage near Turnagain Arm. This giant glacier flowed from a distant mountain into Cook Inlet. In order to build a road south to the Kenai Peninsula the state had to carve off the end of that 40 foot thick glacier to allow for the road. Every year or two they had to come back with ice saws to trim the Glacier to keep it from destroying the road, as it continued to head down the mountain and across the Tundra into the sea.  I returned to Alaska in 1989 to vacation with my sister Fran. We again passed by Portage Glacier, only now there was a large expensive looking building that tells the story of the Glacier. The Glacier only 20 years later was a mile or more back from the road. This year my cousin Earl Ellisor sent me a picture of the glacier as it is now, 40 years later. It looks like a white teardrop between two mountains way in the distance…

It works on any sort of addiction and it works in 24 hours.  Great huh? It has been around for 12 years or more but we don’t sell it in this country.  Why is that? Why are close to thirty million addicts ( that includes alcoholics) in this country not allowed to take this one time medication?

What kind of world would we live in if 30 million addicts were allowed access to this medication? Stay tuned, I will make a short study on this miracle cure and get back to you with more info.

I won’t print the whole book on this site , but I can sure share this first draft of the Preface.

Preface             

               A person with integrity does not lie awake at night worrying about his enemies.  He doesn’t feel sorry for himself or his actions. Instead he feels good about himself and consequently has lots of good friends.  He makes the world a better place for himself and everyone else.

                Imagine a whole world full of men and women who also have integrity, who sleep and feel like he does; a world where honesty and ethical behavior is the norm and expected of everyone.  I believe we can live in a world like that.  For one thing, lots of people are already ethical most of the time.  All we as a nation need to do is make school rooms a place where kids learn about ethics and integrity in addition to the three R’s and we as a people need to expect ethical behavior from everyone else. If we don’t get that behavior then we need to do something about it. This book will point out what is ethical behavior, in addition to teaching how to make ethical decisions.

                I am not a learned Philosopher of Ethics.  This book is not for a person who wants to study and discuss ethics for the rest of his life. If that is your desire, go to a University that offers a Doctorate in Ethical Philosophy.  I am however over 60 years old, with a lot of experience in being taken and shaken by unethical people.  Where do these people come from? They come from all parts of society. There are many reasons some have chosen to follow the low road, instead of the high road. Many of these people simply know no better and some are mentally ill.  Some have learned this behavior from their parents or caretakers and others become desperate enough to cheat due to circumstances beyond their control.  Some actually took this direction in life because they have heard that everyone does it.  Does this belief exonerate them?

                I hope you know the answer to this question. Whether you do or you don’t doesn’t matter though; you will learn enough from this book to know what is right in most situations and how to figure out what is right in others which aren’t  covered here. You can always ask someone you trust as ethical, to help you make a difficult ethical decision.

                Most kids learn about integrity and ethics from their parents and caretakers.  Some kids never get that opportunity.  For one thing, parents cannot teach their children ethical behavior if they don’t have any ethics themselves or no one ever taught them about ethics.  I hope that you will decide while reading this book, as I have, that Public Schools need to take on that duty in order to assure that all kids will at least learn the basics of ethics and how to make ethical decisions.  There all kinds of ways to make room in school schedules to teach these practical issues.  There are many ideas that allow children more time in school. I leave that portion of this plea to those who are more qualified than I.
