Sixty-five years of communism and destruction
There is something eerie about January 1 for Cubans of my generation. My brother, sister, and I always find a minute to hear another story of that fateful January 1, 1959, when our lives were turned upside-down. We ended up in the U.S. and are super grateful to this wonderful land that embraced and adopted us. Nevertheless, we remember those conversations with our late parents and wonder how it all happened.

Happy New Year: "In my life" by The Beatles..........
"There are places I'll remember All my life,
though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All this places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living In my life,
I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life, I love you more In my life-- I love you more...."

February 1968: Nixon started his campaign for President
How did we get to the point where candidates are running for over two years and networks are scheduling debates so far in advance?
Remember FOX and their August 2015 GOP debates or MSNBC with their Democrat debates a year before the party conventions?
We remember today that former Vice President Nixon announced that he was seeking the presidency on this day in 1968. To be fair, everyone knew that Mr. Nixon would be running in 1968 but the official announcement did not come until today.
Back then, we were announcing candidacies in February. Today, we are holding a caucus in Iowa and setting up New Hampshire.
Former VP Nixon battled Governor Reagan of California and Governor Rockefeller of New York but won the nomination on the first ballot in Miami.
On Election Day, Mr. Nixon got 43.4% and Vice President Humphrey was right behind with 42.73% of the 74 million votes cast. Governor George Wallace got 13.5% and carried five Southern states.
In the end, Nixon got the Electoral Votes to become the 37th president.
I was very happy that Mr. Nixon won. I couldn’t vote in 1968 but he was my choice. Nevertheless, I look back at that campaign and wish that we were not starting presidential elections so early.
