Conversations about “The Flu”
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2013 It is amazing how we could be taken over by serious and urgent conversation about something that used to be so common and harmless. A little worse than a cold, but tolerable and aren’t you glad its over. A couple days off from work; lying in bed – reading, eating,…

Read MoreBenghazi Tells the Future?
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2012 Ed Note: Yes, we had a breakfast conversation – several, in fact, – about the Sandy Hook massacre. It is too early and people are too tender to join the media massacre of our collective psyche as they posture and jump on this with both feet for days and days…
Read MoreWas Susan Rice Used?
copyright Bettina Network, inc. – 2012 RICE = ROGERS = GUINIER. What do they have in common besides all being African Americans! Was yet another woman used? – misused? – abused? in this political process? Looks to us as though Ms. Rice’s name was thrown out and then reeled in to get the deal President…

I have been involved with them since about 1965, having owned an Auction Gallery in the Sheraton Ritz Hotel years ago and have barely missed a weekend without some stop at an estate sale in some city. I haven’t…
Read MoreA Guest Responds to Rice and Kerry
I read your blog on the Secretary of State fiasco and I am so glad someone has put out there what is actually happening. I am especially distressed about what I am seeing in the media and hearing about this Susan Rice thing. Imagine putting such a lovely young woman through such trials because…
Read MoreA Larry Hagman breakfast!
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2012 Such a discussion. We need to express sympathy to Larry Hagman’s family on his death. By all accounts he was a fun, lovely person who has done much good for those around him. We hope his soul rests in peace. However, a breakfast conversation about Hagman was kind of different. Everyone…
Read MoreHappy Thanksgiving!
“Thou has given so much to me,” poet George Herbert wrote, “Give one thing more, – a grateful heart.” A quote in Samuel T. Lloyd’s Thanksgiving message in the Trinity Church newsletter. Some things say it all –…
Read MoreSecretary of State???
copyright 2012 Bettina Network, inc. Lordy – what did that guy say? ‘Much ado about nothing’? Well, this is NOT much ado about nothing. This is as much ado as possible to drown Susan Rice and make sure John Kerry is the next Secretary of State. Nothing personal Susan. And it has nothing to do…
Read MoreVeterans’ Day – 2012
copyright Bettina Network, inc. 2012 – by Marceline Donaldson We celebrated Veterans Day by piling all of our guests into our car and their car and going to Memorial Church in Harvard Yard.
