A Few Thoughts...

...before retiring with my book. It's been a long two or three days. I don't think many people know how tiring, really exhausting writing can be. I'm out of gas after about 4 to 6 hours of it each of the past three days!

One humbling experience.... For the winter solstice a member of the Class of '70 sent around a photo of the celebration Stonehenge. Accompanying the picture were quite a few solstice greetings, in Greek, Hebrew, German, Yiddish, whatnot. Over the course of the next couple of days, more than one other member jumped in with translations, complete with corrections of gender, tense, inflection, etc. No doubt, I was out of my league!

I open my computer and on my Home Page is something about what some Maher guy said about this Tebow football player. First, who cares what this Hollywood-type says? Who, in the first place, decided these Hollywood-types know any more than the rest of us, that they don't have their own share of Bozos? Second, what's the big deal about what somebody says about some NFL guy? Don't people have better things to think about, care about? How about what Obama said, that he lies if he things it will make things better? Or what about Gingrich and his words about ignoring court rulings if the majority of people disagree? The list is practically endless, the list of things to really care about.

Perhaps the end of days is near?
