Since moving to DC, I've found the most confusing thing for anyone (especially off-shore people) that I talk to about my new address is my answer to their question "What state do you live in?"

If you can't comfort the afflicted, then afflict the comfortable.

What with the latest possible news about yet another war “atrocity” at Haditha (which, btw, I think is an anomaly...I still believe that most people, yes that includes our soldiers, are good...you may say that I'm a dreamer but I'm not the only one) and was just now listening to Ebert/Roeper’s latest review on my Ipod and they mentioned war movies (since it was their review prior to Memorial Day), I'm wondering, what are your thoughts on war movies?

Today's my first fourth of July in DC...my thoughts....

Having come from my last contracting job in Dallas for a big firm headquartered in Richardson and made up of mostly WASPs from Iowa that transferred there during the time my father handled the ReLo for Ebby, I am struck now by the wonderful diversity of my work team.

I just had 3 of the best days of my life. I spent these days with 3/4 of my grandchildren, and 1/4 of my children.

So RM drops me off at the Metro and calls me soon thereafter... "Just passed a church and their billboard said 'Love your neighbor, even if they are a Cowboys fan'"
