Living in Gray
Wednesday, October 29th, 2008We must get beyond the “black and white” of perception and embrace the “gray” of reality. “Terms like ‘conservative,’ ‘liberal,’ and ‘progressive’ do not, and cannot, do justice to the complex reality of our politics and our experience as humans,” writes George Lakoff in his new book The Political Mind. “Barry Goldwater, ‘Mr. Conservative,’ had […]

Friday, October 24th, 2008Being a long-time politico, I can’t tell you how amazing it felt to go vote yesterday and find out that I was the 3,428th voter in just one week of early voting at one of the five early voting locations in my county. Best feeling EVER in the mere 24 years I’ve been voting.

Thursday, October 16th, 2008Well… I went and got a song stuck in my OWN head, but it seems rather appropriate (and strangely comforting), so I thought I’d share it with you. ENJOY! [With thanks to Mary Alice for re-planting it in my head months ago.]
The Times, They Are A-Changin’
Thursday, October 16th, 2008There’s so much talk of change, and now even events that have us reflecting (I hope) on things we’ve just routinely accepted. So I thought I’d jump on this whole “change” bandwagon, embrace the spirit of the age and… get a haircut! (baby steps…) Though my original hairstyle was highly versatile: I’m really enjoying the […]
