Scott's Take: Your Children and Chick-fil-A
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012/08/your-children-and-chick-fil-a.html
My take on stuff. Saturday, August 18, 2012. Your Children and Chick-fil-A. A friend from high school just posted this on her Facebook page. It reminded me of what is most upsetting to me about the recent Chick-fil-A controversy. The glee with which so many laughingly and light-heartedly defended the right of someone to say hurtful if not hateful things about gay people and pursue policies that will continue to deny their equal rights. Careful the things you say, children will listen.". I'm an Introvert ...

Scott's Take: Take a Hike
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012/08/take-hike.html
My take on stuff. Thursday, August 09, 2012. 8220;After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, and so on – have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear – what remains? 8220;Nature remains.”. I need to take a walk. Have an adventure. Spend some time in the woods. Seattle is in my future, as I’ve detailed here previously. Until then, I’ve made a few other plans. The focal point of those plans is a hike on Vermont’s Long Trail. A 270-walk in the wilderness:. Take time ...

Scott's Take: Shenandoah Farewell
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012/08/an-snp-deer-lets-me-take-this-closup.html
My take on stuff. Monday, August 27, 2012. An SNP deer lets me take this closeup. That’s why I had to take a final hike there before leaving the DC area. I wanted a simple hike, so I parked at Booten’s Gap in Central SNP with the intention of camping at Rock Springs Hut, summiting Hawksbill Mountain (highest point in SNP) either that afternoon or the next morning. My heart full of these memories and images, I climbed down from there. View of Old Rag from Hawksbill summit. Monday, August 27, 2012. Http:/ ...

Scott's Take: Walking Memories
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012/08/my-hike-is-month-away-but-i-am-already.html
My take on stuff. Sunday, August 19, 2012. My hike is a month away, but I am already walking. In a sense walking from my old life into an unknown new one. And quite literally walking everywhere around this town I've called home for most of the last 25 years - Washington, D.C. Sunset over the Potomac River, from the Potomac Heritage Trail. And all the while I keep walking. Because walking is what I do now. Sunday, August 19, 2012. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Subscribe Now: Feed Icon.

Scott's Take: February 2011
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
My take on stuff. Monday, February 07, 2011. Manna from Heaven (well, Tennessee). There is a danger in checking e-mails late at night. You risk opening an e-mail that may contain bad news or flaming anger. Or, you may simply mis. Interpret "tone" and take insult where none was intended. Opening your e-mail is like opening your door to a vampire. He may look all charming and sexy, but if he comes in he can suck the peace out of your night. And received my Manna from Heaven. Yes, I heard you mummer. Here w...

Scott's Take: To Sail Beyond the Sunset
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012/07/to-sail-beyond-sunset.html
My take on stuff. Tuesday, July 10, 2012. To Sail Beyond the Sunset. 8220;For my purpose holds. To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths. Of all the western stars, until I die.”. In the past year plus change, I’ve lost my father, ended a 24-year relationship, lost my job, endured a confounding series of medical issues with my eyes that has threatened my vision, and went through a nasty breakup with a new boyfriend. Funny thing about loss. It tears open holes, but it can also lead to new frontiers. Middle...

Scott's Take: December 2012
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
My take on stuff. Monday, December 17, 2012. After the Shooting in Connecticut, Jokes About Guns from the Pulpit. A day after the horrific murder of 20 children and six adults in Newtown, Connecticut, one of America’s most secular of institutions, NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Felt compelled to deviate from business as usual during its regular broadcast. Instead of opening the show with its usual comedy sketch, the “not-ready-for-primetime” TV show began with a children’s choir. Got it so right. 8220;Restor...

Scott's Take: Love Never Dies
http://scottstake.blogspot.com/2012/08/love-never-dies.html
My take on stuff. Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Not sure if the spoiler alert is needed, since I'm uncertain that anyone really cares about Andrew Lloyd Webber's sequel to the Phantom of the Opera, Love Never Dies. Count me among the uncaring. At least, until I caught the performance on PBS the other night. The idea of a Phantom. Sequel seemed to me unwarranted and desperate. Hackneyed. Why not an Evita. Betting your relationship in a drunken wager with the Phantom (in the current show)? I'm an Introvert a...
