Nineteen Sixty Nine. What an incredible year, especially if you were blessed to have lived through it. The Chinese say, may you live in interesting times. Well, 1969 qualified as that. We just saw the 40th anniversary of Woodstock pass. Say what you will about the happening at Bethel, it was a defining event in our human experience. But 1969 also saw the first lunar landing and man setting foot on the moon, the Manson horrors, the Vietnam war bungling on, Nixon, Redford and Newman, and the pinnacle of the Beatles. Of course the Miracle Mets and Joe Namath's Super Bowl prediction highlighted sports. Will there ever be a landmark year like 1969 again. I don't think so.

Hats off to the Philadelphia Eagles organization for signing Michael Vick and giving him a second chance at succeeding as an NFL pro. He has a great chance to redeem himself and use the spotlight to accomplish some good by helping young kids and getting the word out on the ethical treatment of animals and pets. We're rooting for you Mike.

Will Rogers never met Chris Creamer.
