Once only for elites, voting in the US is available for all eligible citizens, whether male/female, any race, any religion, etc. This was not always the case, and yet today not all take the time to vote. Martin Luther King, Jr., is named on this holiday not because of his race or national prominence but because the principles for which he fought are universal — reconciliation, fairness, and respect. What is your pursuit of happiness?

The New Year is the time for a fresh start, so people tend to offer gifts associated with good luck. good destiny, and added wealth. Gifts such as calendars, subscriptions, gift cards, lottery tickets, and other forward-motion presents are common at this time of year. Hope, though, is the most widespread wish of all, both for ourselves and for loved ones. We hope that your 2010 is your best year ever!

The Pat Boone Family Theater features Pat Boone himself as the first featured performer (plus Christmas). This new entertainment venue plans its grand opening night sometime late this spring or summer in what organizers call the heart of Myrtle Beach’s shopping and entertainment district. This venture will bring jobs to the area and a different kind of entertainment than usual — not just musical, country western, or comedy. About 50 known performers have signed up!

Looking for something different to do during the winter months? How about hunting for lost or buried treasure, sometimes dating back hundreds of years. Many tales of lost or buried treasure come from legends passed down through history or families. People hid or lost their treasures for reasons such as unscrupulous family members, perils of the Civil War, and bank failures. Not all pilfered treasure came from pirates, however romantic that might sound.
