automatic self-correction

I love cool rainy mornings. It clears the brain.

Most of life is self-correcting. (maybe all, but I'm not sure). People get drunk and fall down...drive too fast and get a ticket....sneak around and get put to the curb. Why do we spend so much effort trying to FIX people, when the natural consequences do a much better job? When we gripe, threaten and bribe our loved ones to live by our standards, it wastes their time and our energy. Let them learn in their own way.

What about when the "consequence" seems out-of-whack huge and the "bad behavior" seems to be a tiny little mistake ? Let's tackle that one after another hour-long walk in the rain.

Be blessed. HAFFDAASO.

up there in Cambridge

I'm sure liking me some Bill Cosby after he weighed in on the situation where the nervous cop arrested the black Harvard professor for being a little too slow and a little too verbal about breaking out some ID. Bill was slow to speak and thoughtful about each word in the interview (with CNN I think). He seemed PRESIDENTIAL to me. We need that from our leaders.

I was standing in a foyer one day long ago....when a cop appeared at the front door...having received a 911 call from a hidden alarm panel in the house. I was there with the homeowner on a phoneline trouble call. The cop stared a hole through me, then did the same to the homeowner. It was very obvious that he meant business and every answer & movement from either of us had better be the correct one. I'm just saying....this is a dangerous world....and there are times to not show your arse.

The dash.

It's not how you spend your cash, but how you spend your dash. You know the dash, right ?.....the one between your birth date and your expiration date. Check out www.thedashmovie.com.

feeling bored ?

Wanna cheer yourself up ? Search Brian Regan on youtube. His funny way of looking at everyday things stays with me all day. Some of his clips are bootlegs with bad audio, but most are good quality. I wonder if he has a DVD.

Michael Jackson has passed away???...unbelievable. Very sad.

some things are off-limits.....

Some goofball doctored a photo of Sarah Palin holding her yr old son Trig....with a man's face photoshopped on the baby. This is a special needs Downs Syndrome baby. I had two little brothers similar to Trig...one lived 6 months & the other lived 14 yrs. I know how special these kids are and what a blessing they are to their families....and they really aren't fair-game when someone wants to make a point. I predict a huge apology being typed right now.

First blog....this could be fun.

I've been asking my daughter to set me up a blog site, and she finally did....just to shut me up. I see things happen all around that I want to sound off about. Of course, I have writers block at the moment...oh well.



Give me some time to warm up to this.......I will try to make it worth your time.
