A sense of urgency!

It’s true that this whole economy scenario is making me think. All people are talking about is the economy and rightfully so.

Experts are coming out of the woodwork, giving us the latest information on how much people are planning to spend – or not spend – for the holidays and dispensing advice on the numerous ways to cut back on expenses.

Suddenly people are even showing interest in cooking, as a way of saving money while battling obesity and spending quality time with the family. There are all kinds of theories and a great sense of urgency.

Thank God for the financial crisis to make people appreciate home cooking. I have to admit that one is my favorite. You see, I have been cooking for twenty-four years and still going strong. Nobody has to convince me on the benefits of home cooking. I am a stickler for ingredients and flavor. At this point, my family would go on a hunger strike if I opted out for take-out. And, I love my family.

I wish people exhibited the same sense of urgency over the latest news that “90,000 of New York City’s elementary school students missed at least a month of class during the last school year.” Or, over the findings that”individuals ages 15 to 19 read for an average of 16  minutes per weekend day, while spending 47 minutes playing games or using a computer for leisure.”

Anyone surprised that we are facing a financial crisis?
