Today is Name Your Poison Day. So make a decision and tell us: what's your poison?

Name my poison: Time. Or the lack thereof.

Greatness is not a destination, but a journey. What do you do for your family, career or community that you’re most proud of?

All you need is love. Help people when you can. Show respect and converse with the elderly. Share you cash with good non-profit organizations. Buy a new or used car once in a while. If you are poor, pray a lot for help. Even if you are rich, pray a lot. There is a God and He Loves all people, no matter what you hear that God has died. A lot of people will be really surprised one day.

What story of personal greatness, achievement or success would your co-workers or friends be surprised to learn about you?

People are surprised all the time when they learn I wrote and directed four major "Children's Miracle Network Telethons," two in San Diego and two in New York City, earning several millions of dollars for children's health care. I love children and people of all ages; that's what God directed, and it's a fun commandment. People are wounderful, even the "not so nice" ones. Don't you agree?

How far from your last home do you live? Why did you move and are you glad you did? 
Submitted by Matthew 25.

   We moved approximately 3,000 miles from Palm Springs, CA, to Central New York, to be closer to family and old friends. It was 2-below-zero, wind chill this morning when I woke, and I never can get used to it. I am not glad I moved, neither is my daugher, but my wife is very happy. If she is happy, then so am I. What else is man born for but to make his spouse happy, and if s/he is happy, we are content, don't you think? Such is life, as short as it is.

The first snow fall is a pretty thng, but it is the next six months of snow falls that freaks us out. Check out these pictures out our windows. Central NY in the winter time.
