News How 'bout 'dem Hornets I am still surprised to hear people out and about who are unaware that Louisiana has an NBA team in the second round of the playoffs. Head coach Byron Scott has been named the 2007-2008 NBA Coach of the Year. And star player Chris Paul was a finalist in the MVP race. This is not only great news for fans but great news for the New Orleans and thus the Louisiana economy. The playoffs are home and away series of the best of seven games. That means many additional hotel stay, restaurant meals, and flights, not to mention merchandise sales. While the rest of the country is hunkering down for a recession, this is another layer in the cushion we have here at home. So even if you couldn't care less about basketball Geaux Hornets!!!! The Metropolitan Opera Go to the link: www.fathomevents.com/details.aspx?seriesid=622 Go to your local theater on the list. Go see Verdi's Macbeth performed by the Metropolitan Opera in HD. Go for the performance, or the experience, or for the exposure to something truly great. Just go, and have something special that you will remember the rest of your life.

The Next Four Years It is presidential election time, do you know where your country is? Do you know where you stand on the issues? Is there a candidate there with you? If not will you pick a party, or settle? Obama has stated he will interview Republicans for cabinet members. McCain is being called a liberal. Clinton just keeps on with the "I hate Bush the most!" campaign. Now Nader is back in for another run and people all over are asking Paul to get in as an independent.
Region 6 Gen-Xers I recently received an email from Jeff Dommenge explaining a new focus on younger Mensans. There is a new group on Yahoo at : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GenX-R6 . They are organizing events that are suited to the younger crowd. It seems to be based more in the Texas area but serves all of Region 6.
