A truly wonderful American passed away today. God Bless Ronald Reagan's family. Thank you God for giving us such a great man!

Well, Cyrano was very very looooong! I enjoyed it but the person I went with agreed more with the person who wrote the review in the OC Register yesterday. Basically it was too long and his nose was way wrong.
No time, I'm off to the OCFRW meeting today where Bill Jones be speaking.

Time sure does fly! I went to see "Annie Get Your Gun" on Sunday at the Fullerton Civic Light Opera. It was a cute show! Tonight I am going to see Cyrano De Bergerac at the South Repertory. I'm just so busy I'm going to burn out! I was up at 5am this morning doing payroll and paying bills. It just seems like there is never enough time! Maybe it's more like I am trying to do too much. Well, you only live once!

The great golf instructors at the Marriott!

Back at deva's with Dee Dee, Rachael, & Marina 

Palm Desert was great! I really liked it out there this time of year, I wouldn't want to be there when it reaches 120 degrees. I lounged by the pool the first two days and then I played golf the last day with a fun bunch of individuals. I'll throw their pictures up later. I will have to go back out there again; I didn't realize it's only 100 miles away. The Marriott is the place to be, there must have been 500 people there on Saturday! Well, off to work for a change.........

As you can see by now, I finally figured out how to put pictures on my blog. I should have lots more after this weekend, I'm off to Palm Springs..............have a great weekend everyone!

Picture from my "Party for the President" on April29th 

I have been busy golfing this week. Monday I played in a tournament at Anaheim Hills; they really sunk a lot of money into the new clubhouse. I actually got up early at 6am to golf which almost never happens. Yesterday I played at Tustin Ranch and it was a gorgeous day outside. There's nothing like a long walk on a sunny day with a bloody mary in hand. Oh yeah, and we golfed. Okay, on the back nine I golfed. On the front nine I was just enjoying the weather in between some of the most horrible drives ever. It was nice to be outside there instead of inside at a Board meeting for a change. TARWF holds all our meetings there and I'm always staring out at the greens jealous of all the golfers.
Well, I'm back to the boring paperwork.

You have to read Randy Youngman's column today on page 2 of the Sports section in the OC Register. deva's is actually mentioned along with the fact we carded Sergei Fedorov because we had no idea who he was:

Hey,I know baseball and basketball. I've only been to one hockey game and that was the Stanley Cup Finals!

I helped register voters on Sunday at the OC swapmeet with "Reggie the Registration Rig." What an impressive set up! If you have a chance to visit Reggie, you really should. There's a giant board you can sign showing your support for Bush that will make it's way back to the White House. It's also a lot of fun to volunteer. Get out there and be a Team Leader! I met Mario Rodriguez there who is the Vice-Chairman of the California Republican Party. It was a funny because I had just met and talked with Duf Sundheim, the Chairman of the CRP in Sacramento. It's nice to put faces with names and meet all these terrific Republicans!

I just wanted to share a couple of letters written to the President in support of Donald Rumsfeld:

Mr. President,

Sir, I'm a retired Marine working in Baghdad..with (KBR) for the past 17 months. Sir, I have seen a lot and the good overwhelms the bad. I would like to thank you and your truly professional staff. Thank you for the guidance and support. I honor you...standing shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Rumsfeld... a true American! Sir, I support the retention of Mr. Rumsfeld in his arduous job..Mr. President to you and the American people.

Proud American

Mr President,

Why do a few "bad apples" always have to ruin things
for everyone else?
I understand the gravity of the treatment of the Iraqi pow's is
a serious issue but I am also reminded of the treatment of
American pow's in other wars.
War has never been a civil or humane response to end conflicts between nations.
No nation has never gotten it right.
Mr. Rumsfeld, in my opinion is not at fault.
As Americans and human beings, we all share the responsibilities
of a few "bad apples".

Please don't fire Mr Rumsfeld!

Thank you,

Dino Bica

What a Monday! It was a usual hectic Monday at work today. A funny thing happened though. A handsome guy came into deva's today with a very attractive Swedish girl. They hung out for awhile, playing the jukebox, just having a good time. Turns out it was Sergei Fedorov! I did go out in the parking lot and ask for his autograph when he was leaving. I didn't want to bother them while they were relaxing. What a nice guy, extremely pleasant and down to earth. Well, time for dinner...........

The sun keeps distracting me from getting my work done!! I'll be registering voters on Sunday at the swapmeet with Reggie the Voter Registration Rig. Reggie is a great idea, you really should check it out. You can track Reggie's travels across America on the "Reggie the Registration Rig" website at: http://www.gopteamleader.com/reggie

I know I haven't gotten to Advocacy yet, I'm still working on it. Here's a link to a real good story about our President:

This is why Bush needs to get re-elected...

http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/05/06/loc_moment06.html

Where do I start? So much is happening and very quickly. The Party for the President on April 29th was a success! I read the letter from the President:

I am pleased to send best wishes to those gathered today in support of my reelection campaign. You are a crucial part of the effort, and I am grateful for your support. This election will be close, and your continued hard work and commitment is critical to our success.

I am honored to seek a second term as your President during this time of opportunity and challenge for our country. We are fighting to put an end to terrorism and advance the cause of freedom, to grow the economy, to strengthen our Nation’s healthcare, to protect the environment while achieving energy independence, and to encourage the true compassion of America throughout our country.

I believe we can accomplish these great goals by reaching out to the American people and by working together toward victory on Election Day.

Laura and I thank you for your hard work and dedication.

George W. Bush

Tim Whitacre spoke at the event in support of Dr. Alexandria for Congress in the 47th District, support for our Troops, and the extremely important rallying for our President George W. Bush! We had Federated Women attend from several local Federated Units. These women are terrific, and a ton of fun to be around! Mayor Pro-Tem, Lou Bone and his wife, Carol (Also a Federated Woman) came by, and the Mayor of Dana Point, Joe Snyder, stopped in. We even received a call showing his support of the President from a good friend, Mike, who is currently over in Baghdad doing a super job of protecting our interests.

This Party for the President will be the biggest event at deva's since the whole California Recall campaign!

Show up between 5-8pm!
