It’s been a while since I did some of these. Just as fun – and a bit inaccurate – as always. You See the World Through Blue Colored Glasses You live your life with tranquility. You have faith that things will work themselves out with time. You judge all your interactions through the lens of hope. You try to get all the facts before forming your opinion. You face challenges with wisdom. You know that all bad things pass, and…
In which the author of this blog indulges in an freewheeling rant over a fairly trivial irritation: Clouds!!!! Gotta get those clouds, man! They are SO DOOMED. I KNEW IT!!!! I knew that something would interfere! All I wanted was to see the MOON! Is there something WRONG with that? I mean, how often do I get to see the gorgeous beautiful full moon, and during a partial eclipse too! I had it all built up. No detachment for me….
Oh YEAH. The Red Sox won the World Series! I may be living in Georgia, but the Red Sox as icon is in the blood of this Massachusetts woman. I’m thinking that they must inject something in Massachusetts babies. I have absolutely no interest in any other sport or any other team (well, not since that handsome Bobby Orr gave me his autograph at the now-defunct Boston Garden). Everyone who grew up in Massachusetts knew the drill. Yeah, they were…

Quick trip to the Alabama shore for J’s family reunion Visit from my cousin A Halloween/Samhain festivities Making some calls to remind progressive voters in swing races to vote (Moveon.org) Catching up on the hundreds of backlogged emails Preparing for a trip to see some of my family and friends in Massachusetts Helping J to meet his end-of-month…
So Supreme Court Justice Scalia made a “Sicilian” gesture toward anyone who might question his impartiality on issues involving the separation of church and state -this as he was leaving a mass in Boston. But this was not just any mass. He was attending a special mass for lawyers and politicians at Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and afterward was the keynote speaker at the Catholic Lawyers’ Guild luncheon. A special mass for lawyers and politicians? Isn’t that a sign…
Not hearing “Independence Day” much this year, so let me say it loud: HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!!! It’s about a revolution against the tyrannies of old King George. How could so much of our hard-won independence for our freedom and democracy been so senselessly squandered? How could Independence Day be represented the way I’m seeing it this year? I want to see more patriots and less nationalists! Give me liberty or give me death – it’s on the license plates still…
