Bump in the Road

well, that was quite the weekend. most of which I’d rather not repeat. I don’t take lightly letting people down. hopefully there was some redemption yesterday. at least for me and my self-opinion. can’t go backwards, though. onward, y’all.

Henny Penny, Look Out!

I’m beginning to think this Age of Information is giving way to a twisted Age of Chicken Little. Issues bubble up from seemingly nowhere, fester, pop and then disappear. Oil prices rise and fall on the political fortunes of barely 3rd world countries. We panic but don’t bother to ween ourselves of our SUVs, subdivisions and plastic bottles. Horrendous blizzards and killing droughts...

Loose Lips

Dear Senator Scott Brown, When discussing your childhood sexual abuse, you might want to rephrase this: “I can remember how he looked, every inch of him: his long sandy, light brown hair; his long, full mustache; the beads he wore; the tie-dyed T-shirts and the cutoff jeans, which gave him the look of a hippie,’’ Just Sayin’

Civics for 100, Alex

Um, to the doom-and-gloomers on the left, please recall that the President has the power to veto anything that the Congress passes. And the Congress must vote by 2/3 in each house to over-ride that veto. Dismantling health care is so not going to happen.

Circle of Life, Ebb and Flow

Old friends, comfortably and simultaneously uncomfortably gathered, bury her father. Someone’s unwanted children are born to an exuberant couple who will love them and raise them. I never expected either. Much less in the same day that my country offered some recognition of my brothers’ and sisters’ service and an all but down-and-out President proves his power. Maybe...

Makin' A List

Lord, I started really concentrating on all the moving parts and bells and whistles. Um, like, there’s a lot. I don’t even think the owner of the place I managed ever thought of all the things…(comfort wasn’t on his list fershure).

When I Met You In The Restaurant

I awoke in the middle of the night, interrupting a vivid and lovely dream. I was at my 28th high school reunion and my core swimmer friends were all together. Everyone had aged well and interestingly. David Green and I embraced. Jill gave a kiss. And when Andrew Linde hugged me, he whispered in my ear “I’m gay. And, I’m A PARTY!” I awoke crying, startled, my heart...

Lemmings

It just occurred to me that we’ve become a society of lemmings. Where’s the original thought? Where’s bravery? Where’s listening to the other? Gone Daddy, Gone. (see, i’m brave enough and original enough not to spell it write the first fucking time. oy)

jonnodotcom: “Well, who’s lying in bed in an insane asylum plugged into a life support system? And who’s wearing fine jewels and expensive clothes? And whose husband accidentally died just recently and left me all his money? And who’s on top and who’s on bottom now? Huh? Who’s on top and who’s on bottom now? I’ll see you in hell, Billy. But at least I’m gonna have some fun before I get there.”...

Progress

My Thanksgiving was really good. I made some significant progress on my “project.” Had some serious discussions, looked at some property, realized some of the scope of what lies ahead and began some serious brainstorming on the myriad of ideas that will have to be implemented. Wow. It’s intimidating as well as exciting. There’s work to do and I’m keen to get to...

Full Disclosure

So, all this hemming and hawing about making change in my life I’ve neatly veiled in ambiguity and lovely, gauzy otherspeak. But here it is: I’m tired of my job, my career. I’m not challenged in my day-to-day activities or long term objectives. I’m pretty sure the TV news biz is not what I want to promote. The world has changed and while I have a clean conscious doing...
