Leisure With Dignity: July 2008
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. For reasons I can't explain, I will be moving my blog to. Sunday, July 27, 2008. I remember being taken out of school early because my great-grandmother had died when I was in the 7th grade. I remember leaving school, going home to change into fancy clothes, and driving the 2 hours to Jacksonville, Alabama for the visitation. That is definitely not the last memory I want of Papa. Tuesday, July 22, 2008. Frog on my Toe. Poppa, i know. There's a frog on my toe. Wise, as good as he.

Leisure With Dignity: The ATL
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008/07/atl.html
Friday, July 11, 2008. If I could travel all the time, I think I would. Chris and I just returned from a great trip to the ATL! We took my sister and her friend to see Tom Petty in concert, and then spent two nights with my uncle and his partner in their extremely cool downtown ATL condo. It needs to be here. Yum! What a great place, though. I had some fish stew, and it was fabulous! Then we took a trip to Little Five Points, and did some vintage clothes browsing, junk store shopping, and searching for t...

Leisure With Dignity: November 2007
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2007. A perfect spread of colors. As I look into the sky this evening. Apollo leaves us (again). As he leaves, he highlights how green. And not so green. As Demeter is distressed. The world is dying. Perhaps. Aperfect symmetry in the trees. Who were once symmetrically green. They are now mostly yellow, partly red,. Perhaps a little orange. A perfect spread of colors. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I like books, music, and contemplating the deeper meaning of life. And allergy medicine.

Leisure With Dignity: March 2008
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 28, 2008. In other words, as the Hopi elders would say: Who do we want in the boat with us as we head for the rapids? Who is likely to know how best to share the meager garden produce and water? We are advised by the Hopi elders to celebrate this time, whatever its adversities. Written by Alice Walker, the author of "The Color Purple". Monday, March 24, 2008. I remember the even greater boom of the 1990's. America was on top of the world. So, I'm a little bit scared for our economy and our ...

Leisure With Dignity: May 2008
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2008. Now I know how to get revenge. Not that I'm vengeful, but now I know the best way to get revenge on anyone that might need it. Just let them eat something that gives them food poisoning. Apparently something I ate on Sunday gave me food poisoning. Very early Monday morning, I awoke to some violent reactions. I won't go into details, but lets just say they weren't pretty. I was so dehydrated and exhausted. I don't remember the last time I felt so wretched! Friday, May 16, 2008.

Leisure With Dignity: September 2007
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 29, 2007. Otium cum dignitate is latin for Leisure with Dignity. I'm hoping to have a little leisure with my blog, coupled with some dignity. Dignity is not something I see a lot of. Tonight I worked with Holly. I love Holly. She's so grounded, and makes work so much more fun. I love talking with her. Work as social hour makes life better. Last night Chrissy and I took off and went to Nashville and had a freakin' blast! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

Leisure With Dignity: Happy Independence Day
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008/07/happy-independence-day.html
Friday, July 4, 2008. This day is not about prosaic ideas of "freedom" or "the right to bear arms" or whatever. This day is about celebrating the incredible achievement of our countries founding fathers. It's also a day that has been so cheapened and commercialized that the real spirit is completely lost on the masses. It makes me a little sad. So today, remember that you stand where you stand, believing ANYTHING your heart desires without fearing for your life or the life of your family because a handfu...

Leisure With Dignity: June 2008
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 19, 2008. Change I believe in. This man inspires me and makes me a little teary. Tuesday, June 17, 2008. Lately I've been faced with what some consider an issue of faith, and others consider an issue of humanity. There is a common belief that in order to be "moral" one has to be a believer in some kind or religious being. Moral, according my old friends Merriam and Webster, is. 1 of or relating to right behavior. 3 conforming to a standard of right behavior. While I don't claim a religion ...

Leisure With Dignity: October 2007
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2007_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 30, 2007. Smokey, this is not 'nam. It's bowling. There are rules. Oh, Voodoo Fest. What the heck were you thinking? I loved the music. Most of the music was fantastic, and some was lackluster to say the least. I have to say that after spending most of Friday thinking about New Orleans and Katrina, and then listening to three different bands rage against the machine - including the band Rage Against the Machine. It has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime. So we keep waiting.

Leisure With Dignity: April 2008
http://otiumcumdignity.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. I was watching Oprah, and she was highlighting the Angels Gate dog sanctuary in New York. The beautiful hearted woman in New York goes around to shelters etc rescuing dogs in all states of disrepair. She has paralyzed dogs, partially paralyzed dogs, blind dogs, dogs with no teeth. All kinds of dogs. She has over 150 on her property. Monday, April 21, 2008. When in the course of human events. The one thing I've continuously felt impassioned about is the study and the knowledge of ...
