A few words about March 2008

It has come to my attention that I have written 90 essays for this blog and a few poems. All of the content here reflects my thoughts and attitudes. Anyone who wants or needs to know can scroll down to the right side of this essay and read the titles of more or less current blogs. Anyone who seeks further information can scroll down a bit farther and go to the archives - and take your chances on what you might find there.

There has been no word of either politics or religion here, not because I am not engrossed in those subjects but because I began these essays with a determination not to get involved in arguments and controversies, with one notable exception having to do with the political philosophy of Machiavelli. It is revealing to recognize Machiavelli's touch which he expounded in the fifteenth century and which informs the politics of Now. If you type the name of Machiavelli in the search box near the top of this essay you will be reading the first and the last word about the man and his schemes.

Tennis, golf, and figure skating competitions on TV are a pleasant escape from the game of politics. I am proud of tennis star Roger Federer and of his golfing friend Tiger Woods. And all of the figure skaters who bring us athleticism, dance, and music.

There has been some interest in the history of our family - but that is for another day. We are as unique as any other family. I have filled in some of the blanks in previous blogs, but, of course, much more can be written.
