I think I see your problem
This delightful bit of video has conservatives in arms. “Government is the only thing we all belong to.” Really? Were you people asleep in high school American History? I don’t belong to the government, the government belongs to me. That’s what the whole Revolutionary War was about: the consent of the governed and the right […]

Busy and blessed
It’s the first day of the new school year for us, marked by the usual driving for therapy and a few extra errands. Ok, a lot of extra errands. We had to take a cello for repairs, visit two libraries (lack of planning on my part) and stop by a store for an ongoing home […]

Terrible Tuesday, home town edition
I’m visiting my parents for a couple of days, so I’m back in my home town. Odessa is a semi-arid dessert region where people have traditionally tried to have lush green lawns. However, since it is near the beginning of what is predicted to be a severe and long drought, water restrictions have made this […]

Terrible Tuesday: Just a Tuesday
Summer is going too fast and my to-do list isn’t getting any shorter. Perhaps that’s because I keep adding to it. Links? Sometimes things are “traditional” and “old fashioned” because they work. Families with married parents do much better than families headed by single moms. Um, duh. Beyond the basic reality of many hands make […]

Rediscovering Nature, part 2: The great disconnect
Second in a sporadic series about From Last Child in the Woods by Richard Louv. When I was a child, I use to roam my grandparents property, sometimes with my brother, sometimes alone or with friends. We explored four acres of West Texas wilderness, eight with my uncle’s adjoining property. There wasn’t much out there, rabbits, […]
