A Presence

Have you ever thought you were the only person in a room and been startled upon finding out that someone else was there? Well that happened to me last night at work, only there wasn't anyone there...at least not that I could see. I was coming out of the restroom on the way out for my walk and I...

A Letter to Our Pharaoh

Thus Sayeth The Public - <i>not all, but some</i> GET OUR PEOPLE OUT OF THERE! Enuff Said! I saw a friend last night who 18 months ago I thought I might not get to see again. His unit got called up and he went over to Iraq. I've written separately on why I am against the war. I want our folks out of... Sign in to see full entry.

The Perception of Redemption

At 00:01 Pacific time, Stanley "Tookie" Williams was put to death by lethal injection at San Quentin Penitentiary. It is my sincere hope that the citizens of Los Angeles, especially South Central, behave today the way they did yesterday and the day before. I was a witness to the 1992 riots following...

A Word Or Two on Life

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we're kids? If you're less than 10 years old, you're so excited about aging that you think in fractions. "How old are you?" "I'm four and a half!" You're never thirty-six and a half You're four and a half, going on five!... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep Your Fork

There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her pastor and had him come to her house to discuss certain aspects of her final wishes. She told him which songs she wanted sung...

Would a Blogger Fake Being Handicapped to Gain Sympathy?

Have you ever seen a foreigner act like they couldn't understand English when they are being held accountable for something? Twenty years ago a plane I was on landed at Ben Gurion airport in Tel-Aviv, Israel. Now we all know the drill. You stay seated with your seatbelt on until the plane taxis to...

A Cat's Loyalty

A while back I had a government job. We had a three-hour training seminar on ethics where we watched a movie that would have put Kevin Costner to sleep. In fact I think I did fall asleep a couple of times. I tend to run at the edges of my energy levels anyway, so anytime I have to sit still and... Sign in to see full entry.

Justifiable Indignation

It's not that she asked. It's the way she asked. It's that she didn't ask me. She asked the room. She asked the air around me. It's as if she didn't notice me, only an idea of me and wanted to know what it was doing there. Sign in to see full entry.
