Looking Around

Starting a new year... one more time

I had thought about making a New Year's resolution to keep writing EVERY day... does that sound familiar? Yeah, me, too. And, here I am- 36 days since I had thought about making that resolution with nary a entree in this ongoing missive to the world. Now, again, where to start I ask? Again, no answer... this is not a good sign. So, I keep putting this all off.

It isn't like nothing is going on here. I have social stuff happening, I have work stuff happening. I have computer stuff happening. I finished just about all of Christopher Moore books I could find. I have listened to Naomi Klein and Philip Pullman (audiobooks of the recent writings). I attended a very interesting film and panel the other night on immigration. If you get a chance watch "The Invisible Chapel" by John Carlos Frey- then ask yourself just where on the compassion continuum do you fit? As I understand it, one of the clarion calls of the Christian walk is compassion, and it seems to be one of the missing components of our current culture and the immigration debate.

And, now, my little notebook computer is fuzzing out on me. This just started yesterday. My screen has gotten all neon like and blinky- it is most distracting. I hope it clears itself up soon- I just can't afford a new one just yet. I used to be able to "fix" this by pressing the screen... not this time. Too bad, it is three years old, so it isn't a huge surprise. It is just that I have an iBook and I have now developed this issue while my wife has a cheap... I mean really cheap PC notebook- a tiny one- that is 3 months older and still going quite strong. Anyway, I guess we'll see.

Anyway, time is about up for today... let's see if I can keep a more regular schedule here and get into more detail about some of the stuff going on. I mean, heck, we have quite a year going here with elections, a new boss, and some resolutions to keep up with.
