Life is a crazy patchwork; a coat of layers and layers (not that I'm telling you anything you don't know) and sometimes it is so sad and it hurts so much. But still, there are those moments, those divine sweet moments, when the light plays on the wheat and the water of the lake sings a melody of being and lightness. And thankful thoughts race to the heavens that exclaim "God, I'm glad I'm here." It is those moments, those few precious moments, that are us, moments that deflate disaster and dissolve anxiety. And when it is our time to be tossed into that giant bowl of cosmic potato salad, we will not scorn, not regret, for we had today. And we had each other.
We had our moment.

New Phrases I Hate
At the risk of sounding like my good friend Bill Murgan, who about 10 years ago stated, "Man, I sure am getting sick of the dot com thing", here are a couple of phrases I can live without.
WEB-BASED - oh please. Only ducks and geese are web-based.
GREEN- envy is green. Money is green. Policy is not green.
CARBON FOOTPRINT - oh, shut up.
Oh and by the way NPR, who told you enlightened bunch of egomaniacs that it is CarNEGie as in Andrew CarNEGie. Get over yourselves you boatload of blowhards. How can one possibly pull off the joke "How do I get to Carnegie hall?" if one says CarNEGie? You can't. So leave it alone.
