A 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 MorePetraeus over Breakfast
copyright 2012 Bettina Network, inc. Just when you think things are calmer, up comes a topic of conversation over breakfast which could have fried the organic, free of the cage eggs.

Read MoreUltra-Pasteurized = Ultra-Junk-Milk
copyright Bettina Network 2012 Today is very discouraging. I spent yesterday looking for organic milk and am discovering the good milk is being replaced all over the city by the ‘ultra-pasteurized’. It is as though stores are saying ‘we will carry organic milk, but we don’t think it will sell so we will stock the…

Read MoreThanks for your Presidential Post!
I would like to add just a couple things, which I think need to be highlighted: We read lots about minorities playing the “race card.” No one has said one word about the races taking place today – presidential and otherwise where one person running is blatantly using the ‘race card’ against their opponent.
