embracing the changes
There are some things that we all need to be prepared for, in terms of lifestyle changes.  I'm not referring to the recent issues with the stock market and the economy either.  I'm talking about certain unavoidable realities of existing on a living, breathing entity whose resources are......Read More

Marion and Eddie
October has long been my favorite month; mainly because of the gorgeous weather I enjoyed during this amazing time while growing up in Chicago, and somehow there was a sense of excitement in the air.  I also usually enjoyed returning to school and seeing my friends again, buying new......Read More

The Good Life indeed
It's no secret that I'm an Anglophile; all things British make me drool, so when a friend suggested I borrow his copies of an old BBC sitcom I gladly accepted.  When I found out it starred Richard Briers of my beloved Monarch of the Glen I was even more excited, and to top it off the entire......Read More

fairweather Jews
I stole that term from an episode of Sex and the City, to be honest, but today I am finding that term living all around me in spades.  Tomorrow is Yom Kippur, and while I'm far from Jewish I do know it's a time of fasting and repenting, and supposedly a day for going to Temple to......Read More

closet romantic no more!
I think it's about time I come clean about something.  It's not the most popular or supported view to have in this day and age but I have come to terms with the deep, dark secret I've kept for ages...mostly from myself; I AM a romantic at heart. I present an image of being quite fiesty......Read More

living for tomorrow
I have to say, I've seen some reactivity and panic in my life but what's going on around me these days really takes the biscuit.  And it's all unfolding exactly as the powers that be would wish; a fearful populace afraid of lack and poverty, propogating more and more fear, clutching and......Read More

here we go
Am I surprised to see headlines now about how our noble government is going to swoop in like a superhero and save our economy buy buying into the banks? Not a bit. This fits with exactly what many of us have seen happening slowly over time - a corrupt and power hungry government working slowly......Read More

ode to the rock gods
Even a born iconoclast needs someone to stoke the flames of rebellion. For as long as I can remember, I've elevated various musicians to positions of idolatry for their moxie, their creativity and their courage. It's not easy to spew raw emotions into a world very likely to mock them or......Read More

importing Indian workers - harsh language ensues
Ok folks, I hate to sound like Archie Bunker, but something needs to be said about the epidemic of American companies sacking American workers, no matter how lengthy the tenure and wonderful the work, in favor of importing cheap Indian labor. This is something that has taken over my......Read More

Codex Alimentarius - beginning of the end
If you've never heard of the Codex, imagine this; vitamins, minerals, enzymes, dietary supplements of any kind no longer legally sold or available.  Why? To force us to see doctors, who will of course push meds from "big pharma" (a major player in the World Health......Read More
