Election day in November 2005 presents an opportunity to examine how our society attempts to make changes in social contracts. Some states in the U. S. Do not permit easy changes to state constitutions, reasoning that the laws already incorporated should not be changed with every social fad or political season. Other states permit easy changes and place voters in the position of change agents,

Last Friday, a drag show was held at a local coffee shop in Round rock. The coffee shop, Saradora, has been frequented by a diverse clientiele ranging from local pastors to wannabe or former 60s hip people. Apparently few people in the community knew about the event, with the exception of a small group of very hip and cool persons. Then the Austin newspaper published a story (on Saturday)

Moving involves such great sorrow, hard work, and unpleasant events. Most of us have moved many times during our professional lives, but for those of us who have not done so recently, a move from one residence in one state to one in another state seems so much more like torture than it did during all the previous moves. One could always use the old cliche about being older, but that seems so

Reunions are a fact of life, but apparently are not viewed by all with the fuzzy and warm feelings usually associated with such events. A recent column (unnamed intentionally) contained some critical remarks about the need to attend reunions, but made the point that the fact of attending was rather unpleasant for many people. Because I am currently charged with and heading up a reunion for a

The variety of phrases used to describe the human condition is quite remarkable. They range from earthy ("life's a bitch") to ephemeral ("life is fleeting") . Many colorful expressions abound to express the frailty or shortness of life in galactic time, e. g., "too soon old, too late smart." Of course, the one eternal problem of aging is to elevate one's understanding of life and events

It seems that a change in the weather is coming tonight, and apparently none too soon for those who love cold weather. Even those who do not like cold weather are ready for colder temperatures because they believe that the winter will be worse unless the early winter is cold enough, whatever that might be. Even meteorologists fall into this way of thinking about some facets of the weather that

medicines What kind of playoff games could have been expected in the NOVEL? Both visiting teams won as the Jets and Rams won on plays at the end of the game (OT for Jets). Instead of watching football, one could have been visiting an art gallery, a museum, or going for a walk. In this instance, however, the games were so late (EST) that none of the other activity options was quite so attractive.

This is the start of the first posting of this new blog. It is my first blog and my first effort of this magnitude. With any luck, something interesting will appear in these spaces within the next few days. I must thank the creator of "unfreezing" for urging me to take this step. He will be linked as soon as I figure out how to do it. For now, it is the start that needed to be made.
