Distractions with Untold Tales

As usual, I`m back on Friday evening to hopefully get you to look away for a short time, from the travails of your normal life.

Whether life is going great for you or not, distractions are sometimes a pleasant way to regroup in appreciation, or in a renewed effort against opposing forces.

I wish you all peace.

I will respond to any queries about these images.

These are for you, you need not respond, nor comment for my benefit, although it`s always nice to know you`ve enjoyed the distraction.

There has been a lot of talk about the G20, solving the world financial melt down and regaining our stature on the world stage. Hearing Nicolas Sarkozy say Obama is the man who can change the world, pretty heady stuff. In fact Obama did change the world today in a far more important way than solving the world financial crisis or bringing an end to terrorism, nope. Follow me below the fold for the single statement that changed everything forever and you may have missed it.

Friday Philosophy: marriage equality

It was supposed to be Gay Pride Week here on campus.  Everything has conspired to screw that up, not the least of which were apathy and poor organizational ability by the volunteer coordinators of the event, including yours truly.

Our main mode of communication has been webmail.  That went down for two days in the middle of the week.  

Today there were thunder showers.  It is not a good idea to stand around in an open field, let alone on a podium with a microphone, if there is going to be lighting.  So AV Services didn’t even set up the mike.  The rally was canceled.

But I did write a speech and I don’t want to waste it.  You’ll find it on the other side, embellished with whatever doo-dads I can think of, find, or create.
