The NHL Dispute: A Hunk Of Coal For The Fans
It's hard to feel sympathy for aggrieved players who average over $800,000 a year. That's more than many of us make in a lifetime.

It still boils down to too many mediocre teams with too many mediocre players. There aren't enough good TV contracts in the U.S. to pay for these "gold-plated teams" and "gold-plated players."

Expansion of the NHL should have went to Europe where there's strong interest in the sport.(Do you remember the fiasco of the WHA?)

Hockey is a great game, but you have to give more to get back more.

Hockey fans have given lots of money and time to support this wonderful sport in North American. It's a shame that bad business decisions and greed are ruling the day, right now.

The Top Ten Lessons From Noah's Ark
1. Don't miss the boat. 2. Don't listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done. 3. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something big. 4. The Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals. 5. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. 6. When you're stressed, float awhile. 7. Remember that we are all in the same boat. 8. Speed isn't an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs. 9. Build your future on higher ground. 10. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.

Remembering Family And Friends At Christmas
Christmas is always a time of rememberance and nostalgia.

Like millions of others, my wife and I will be sending out Christmas cards to family and friends that we are thinking about.

We may not have talked to old friends in years, but usually, we feel a special fondness for them at this time.

Mankind Has Many Religions
No one group has a monopoly on spiritual truth and the afterlife. Spiritual insights are given to us through divine revelations and mystical visions.

We should embrace cosmic diversity and learn from each other. Check out this website.
Lets walk down the paths that others have taken.

Movie Review 86: The Great Rupert
"A loopy comedy in which Jimmy Durante and his family of acrobats are aided in collecting a fortune by a friendly, bushy-tailed squirrel named Rupert; aka "The Great Rupert."

The best thing in this movie is the intelligent, funny squirrel. Unfortunately, we see too little of him and too much of the other characters. Two stars.

See it anyway for Jimmy Durante and the squirrel.

I Was Santa Claus
Last week at a senior's residence, I played Santa Claus and gave out gifts to the seniors and their great grandchildren.

Although it was very hot in the Santa outfit, it was fun to spread cheer and get lots of hugs and kisses from the ladies.

It's obvious that most females like a "hot" Santa act accordingly.

The Barron Blog Is Back(But For How Long?)
Sometimes my blog appears and sometimes it disappears into the Twilight Zone. I don't know why and neither do support people at Tripod or Rogers Cable, my ISPN.

Truly, this is one of the great mysteries of life.
