Playoff Indifference

Can't get into the NFL playoofs. San Diego is a wonderful city but the team is blah. Indy out early again, what new? Arizona are they serious? Baltimore is not much fun. Miami nice story but beyond that. Vikings have a hard time getting their fans into it. I could go on, but I don't care to...

New Years

2008 was a good year on my scale of life. On a larger basis clearly there was suffering. We may look back and find important changes got started in the midst of suffering.

With Obama not yet in office it fells like we are circling before landing. Once inaugaration occurs the tempo should pick up and perhaps hope will grow.

Looks like we are almost certain to experience interesting times...
