Spiritually Speaking: Play Time, Part 2

July 14, 2009 Contributor
Play time is over. Vacation ended yesterday. I didn’t get to play any games of miniature golf but I did win several games of Hearts, Scrabble and one game of Life. Remember that old board game? Now it is computerized and loads of fun to play. I ended the game with more than $6 million in the bank, a house with $1 million, a Ph. D., a best selling novel and a sub-compact car. I earned most of my money because early on in the game I discovered a cure for baldness which gave me $900,000, leaving the other players eating my dust for the rest of the game.

State Parcels Out Economic Stimulus

It’s also where universities, counties, cities, and, some cases, businesses and non-profits, may apply for stimulus funding.
