The symbols of Easter include those of fertility, bunnies; new life, baby chicks; and impending birth, colored eggs. Note the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew3935/596101Look at television and listen to radio and what do you hear screaming at you? the politically impotent, for the most part. Who are they? Let me list a few; I am sure there are more, but these are the ones that come immediately to mind: Michael Savage Sean Hannity Bill O'Reilly Rush Limbaugh Laura...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew3935/595901One of the bad things about my job, about the only bad thing about my job, is that I have to work days. My favorite times of day are late night and early morning, which could wreak havok on one having to work from 08:30 AM to 4:30 PM. Still, a couple times a week I stay up and enjoy the night....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew3935/595568Perhaps today will be beautiful enough to get ourselves out of that econ-socio-emotional slump we brought upon ourselves.

Rest easy; it is only a dream of being God, not the desire to actually fill that position or even to aspire to being able to do...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew3935/590125After watching a bit of the telly this evening, I figured I would reward myself for sitting still for two hours. I rummaged through the cabinets and found a mostly empty bottle of Ouzo. Item two was the coffee pot with old cold coffee, which I reheated, mixing amounts of both in a large cup....http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/archiew3935/587504We are at the boundary of two years, 2008 and 2009. We will be pushed across the transome of time in a bit less than 24 hours, like it or not. Time marches on is a cliche used too often. Yes, it does, and we march with it, sometimes unwillingly.
