We know what Red Madsen was like, but we know even better the tremendous person that his daughter is to have written such a heart-felt, warm, meaningful account of her father...and potent personal advice for each of us.
Right on

Would haved loved to meet Red. Sounds like a great guy and I wished we lived in a world that allowed us to live our lives as written above...we don't. Hope some day we will. Until then sounds more like Peter Pan and the lost boys.

On this day, my salute to all who have sacrificed and served with Dignity
To hoist a glass for "Red" is the least anyone can do.

Daily Horoscope for December 1

Libra

You may have serious business to attend to this morning, so set your alarm half an hour earlier than usual. You'll need to keep your wits about you as power struggles are in full swing. Stick to your guns and adhere to your principles. The mysteries of life and death may be on your mind as the Moon glides through your eighth house of sex, money, and power. Remember, what goes around comes around! Things lighten up later, as chatty Gemini brings good news.
