It’s beautiful outside. It was hard forcing myself into my office this morning. How nice it would be to sit on a quiet beach, looking out over the ocean. Feeling the warm sun and the sand between my toes. No resonsibilities. No stress. Utter relaxation.
A few years ago, Lisa and I went to an all inclusive resort in Mexico. It was a wonderful trip (in retrospect). I still remember that one afternoon when I actually submitted to a massage. And then afterwards I sat outside, looking out at the water. It was the most relaxing moment of my life. I would love to recapture it. Yet, how is it possible when everything seems so grave? I feel like I am peering over a cliff. Rising gas prices, violence, insane presidential candidates, inflation, recession, depression, terrorism, marxism, etc… Maybe this is the absolutely perfect time to get away.

Huckabee and Brownback were definite members of the flat earth society.
re: B. Davis’s link. I thought “Back To the Future” should have ranked higher in science fiction, and “A Clockwork Orange” maybe a little lower, but all in all I don’t have a problem with it.
I don’t think everything seems any graver than normal. The situation may fall short of your preferences, but that’s no reason to be depressed. There is still much, much more to be gratful for.
