About this blog: I was a "corporate brat" growing up and lived in different parts of the country, ending in Houston, Texas for high school. After attending college at UC Davis, and getting an MBA at Harvard, I embarked on a marketing career, mainly in the Bay Area with different companies. My former wife went back to medical school after we had been married a few years, and we moved into married student housing at Stanford, had our two now adult children while she was a medical student, and moved into Palo Alto when she started her Residency. Been here ever since. As my kids were going through the Palo Alto schools, I was actively involved in their activities, most notably head umpire for Palo Alto Little League and 9 years as a member of the Parks and Recreation Commission, among other activities. My kids both are grown, my son teaches 5th grade locally, and my daughter, fluent in Mandarin, is working in China. I sold the business I owned and ran for 8 years in 2012, worked on the Obama campaign, and am consulting for non-profit organizations, which gives me a nice, flexible schedule. Lots of stamps in my passport, and for fun, I like live performances &emdash; theater and music - and of course the Giants!

National Anthem at SuperBowl
Uploaded: Feb 6, 2011
I really have no clue who the woman is who "sung" the Star Spangled Banner prior to the start of the game today.
I do suspect that she was making more than minimum wage to perform in front of a stadium packed with 100 thousand plus people, let alone those watching and listening worldwide. I also have the impression that she is a professional entertainer, albeit one I know nothing about.
How insulting to this country and a debasement to an annual tradition, the SuperBowl, for a highly paid entertainer to screw up our country's national anthem in such circumstances.
Democracy.
What is it worth to you?
