  • Balance

        I watched the news last night.....oh boy.  It was an exhausting experience.

        Stupidity reigns and there's no end in sight.  (Notice I said "stupidity" and not "ignorance."  There's a difference.)

        Educated fools are in charge of my country.

        But it's almost fall -- the days & nights are beginning to morph into the most glorious time of year!

        And I have the privilege of residing here at Toad Hall, a/k/a Paradise.

        And "THE KID's" #1 son is 2 today.  Happy Birthday, Little A!

        So perhaps this is whut it means to have "balance" in one's life, huh?

  • Do as I did--use the newspapers (with all the bad news) to burn the television (more bad news--and reality TV).  Dance a wild dance around the fire and then go in and relax.  I see the distinction you make between ignorance and stupidity, but in truth, we have ignorant stupid people running the country.

  • I hate the news.....it's so depressing.

    The kiddo is too cute for his own good!

  • It's been the plus of not having TV service all summer.

    Aw, how cute he is. They all are. Years away from having you smirk knowingly at The Kid.

  • Fifi -

    I know where you're coming from.  A lot of things were handled improperly, and there's a long road ahead for New Orleans.  Now, I'm not trying to be hippocritical about the Domino-Bush meeting.  I posted that because it was about Fats - and I often post breaking news about the Fat Man.  I did think it was a very generous thing for Bush to replace Fats medal - and I'm sure Fats did too.  But as great as that was, the re-building of New Orleans is even more important.  And I most definately want to think that Bush will keep the promises he made on August 29th.  I will be greatly disappointed if those promises aren't kept. 

    If you read my past few posts, about Katrina and the Spike Lee documentary, you know I feel about the whole thing.  I'm just trying to be mature about it, and respective to all - democrat and republican - who visit my site.  I am a democrat, but not a liberal democrat.  Even if I don't agree w. the government, I still try to be mature as possible about political matters, simply becuase I don't want to make enemies out of friends.

  • If you think the news is depressing try watching what passes as cartoons for kids these days....

  • Oh- don't know how I could forget.. little guy is so handsome! What a twinkle in his eye!

  • "The most glorious time of year" -- I definitely agree.

  • Well I think the "men folk" can't resist the all you can eat aspect of the fish fry. What the heck are frickled pickles?

  • Hooray for kids!
