Hi folks~Good seeing you today. A Moment for Us?
Having another birthday tomorrow, and as much as I’m not really all caught-up in age, it does tend to bring about thoughts of mortality/legacy-that whole schtick. I know who I am, where I am, why I’m where I am, and where I’m not going (see “About Me”). But do you get this way, where you think about whether or not you’ve made ANY kind of positive, lasting impression on someone else in all your years on the planet? Did I really “matter”? (Used that term in a recent comment to http://justmakingconvo.com kiddingly, I thought.) Anyhoo…maybe that’s a Deeep Thought for today–>Am I living my life in a way that will matter to all those that I come in contact with? And in a good, healthy, positive, encouraging way? (I would answer: Who me?! You talking to me?!)

~”People will increasingly live in extended families of up to a dozen people, in order to afford high mortgages and rents. They will work shorter hours. Their pay will buy about two thirds as many objects as in 1980 and they will watch much less TV and engage in much more gardening, participant sports, adult education, political activity, and friendly partying. They will be thinner, more active, less frantic, more secure and physically and emotionally healthier than we are.”-author Ernest Callenbach, 1980.

~Earlier today in Los Angeles, armed robbers held up a medical marijuana clinic. Police can’t identify the robbers because all the eyewitnesses say they have glaucoma.
~Secretary of State Hillary Clinton broke her elbow so yesterday she worked from home. Which explains why Bill Clinton spent the day in the backyard forming the words “Help Me” with garden gnomes.
~Sunday is the summer solstice. It’s the longest day of the year, if you don’t count Thanksgiving with your family.
~It’s Gay Pride Week in New York City. This is the week Liza Minnelli goes out husband-hunting.
~I love Gay Pride Week. Where else can you see 300 guys dressed up like Sarah Palin?
~Sunday is also father’s Day. I got a weird call from my mom. She said, “David. Don’t forget to send a Father’s Day card to Larry King.”
