Ellen's Thoughts

Hi, Everyone,

I have just come from Cotuit Beach, where it is totally gorgeous. I was there for a few hours and shall go back soon.

I celebrated my 65th birthday last Sunday and am trying to figure out what I should be doing professionally. Of course, health reform is my big interest, but I am also involved in all the benefits out there that can help people in this horrible economic environment.

There are so many: Social Security, Food Stamps, property taxes, phone and heat. It is truly unbelievable and people do not know what can help. So, I am trying to figure out how to get this information out to people.

And I am still fighting my Social Security case. Now I go to an Administrative Judge and hope to recover $10,816 from the Feds. It seems to me I should get that money - especially since the banks are getting billions. Time will tell.

And, I would like to get a comedy gig going. And I would like to write a book - but what about? So, I have a lot on my plate and it feels good.

So, that is it for Ellen Kagan on this terrific April 26, 2009.

I hope everybody who reads this blog is also having a great day.

Ellen
