Greetings

I’m just back from a short hike into a world of stuff I can’t talk about. I also can’t tell you where it happened, but will just mention that it rhymes with Transylvania. I will say this, however:

Rhinochrisy has a good point about our attitude towards sacrifice, and I’ve got a few thoughts along this line, that even relate to Memorial Day.

Roxanne appears to be having a hard time with life in DC. Fair enough, I kind of miss California myself. I’m a little concerned when I hear the National Zoo called “shitty” however. Rox, it’s a place where the Smithsonian keeps endangered species so they don’t die off.

Bullworth is bringing up issues of religion and politics that merit review. The discussion reminds me of some of Jung’s students (I’m thinking in particular of Maurice Nicholl), or perhaps C.S. Lewis, and I wonder if the real subject here is Esoteric Christianity as opposed to the current practise of Christianity.

As Oliver points out, Maryland politics can’t be taken for granted in 2006. Paul Sarbanes is retiring, and the Republicans are likely going to put a conservative African-American on the ballot.

Apparently, when the president says: “Thank you for giving me a chance to come by and say hello” he really means: “I like it better when it’s just me and Condi.”
