Books - Lane Speaking
http://lanespeaking.blogspot.com/2011/01/books.html
My mind in a blog. In August 2009 a friend sent me this prompt in Facebook:. Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. First fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Here's the list I came up with at the time:. All Quiet on the Western Front (Erich Maria Remarque). At Swim, Two Boys (Jamie O'Neill). The Corrections (Jonathan Franzen). The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time (Mark Haddon). David Copperfield (Charles Dickens).

Now what? - Lane Speaking
http://lanespeaking.blogspot.com/2016/11/now-what_9.html
My mind in a blog. I've spent the day in deep and dark despair. Yesterday's election made the unthinkable a reality, and for the second time this year I find I don't have the emotional repertoire necessary to process what has happened. So over the next months, I will start downsizing. It's time to start selling, giving away, or discarding the "stuff" I've accumulated, sell my house, lighten my load, and be prepared to flee. I will start asking questions and getting answers so I can determine what...As a ...

My mind in a blog. I guess I'm supposed to do this because Melissa. Is making me. She calls it a meme, and she says she was tagged and now she's tagging me. According to The American Heritage Dictionary. A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another. And at I Am Pariah. It appears that there is a long list of memes for bloggers. He says. Four jobs you've had in your life:. In Mountlake Terrace, WA. Pad See ...

Male Shame - Lane Speaking
http://lanespeaking.blogspot.com/2016/10/male-shame.html
My mind in a blog. As a gay man, I don't believe I have ever interacted with a woman in any way that could be construed as inappropriate sexually. I challenge all men to affirm the dignity of women and the right of all women to be in a workplace free from sexual harassment, innuendo, unwelcome touch, threats, and the suggestion that advancement requires anything except hard work.

Apportionment - Lane Speaking
http://lanespeaking.blogspot.com/2010/12/ive-decided-to-start-up-blogging-again.html
My mind in a blog. I've decided to start up blogging again. I think my mistake before was trying to blog about my life. That was hard, and it was uninspired, and it served no purpose. I didn't find catharsis or self-enlightenment through my blog. I didn't shed light on my own life as a metaphor for anything. And as I look back at the old blog posts, I discover that it is not worth reading. I'm leaving them in the archive, but I strongly recommend not reading them. The Electoral College is made up of elec...

My mind in a blog. It's been so long since I've blogged that I'm sure the few people who came by here to check out my latest musings have long since gotten discouraged. That's okay, though. I was never writing for them anyway. But shit happens, and sometimes that means wanting people to know what's going on so you can have a support system. Well now the news is a lot worse. Not only has my cholesterol gotten worse, but I have diabetes. So I'm now on three medications:. Crestor - to lower my cholesterol.

Third Party - Lane Speaking
http://lanespeaking.blogspot.com/2016/09/third-party.html
My mind in a blog. None of the above. That seems to be a common sentiment regarding the choice between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump this year. People who typically vote Republican aren't comfortable with Trump, and people who tend to vote Democratic have concerns about Hillary. But for now I will let others address Hillary's strong qualifications. And Trump's gross lack thereof. Some people I know are considering voting for a third-party candidate because they don't like either of the major party can...

Are you better off? - Lane Speaking
http://lanespeaking.blogspot.com/2016/08/are-you-better-off.html
My mind in a blog. Are you better off? Are you better off? This is something I originally posted on Facebook on July 25, 2016. I keep hearing people ask, "Are you better off today than you were eight years ago? This meme actually goes back to 1980, when Ronald Reagan used it in a debate. I believe we would be better off today if the American Jobs Act Obama proposed in 2011 had been enacted into law. I believe we would be better off today if some politicians weren't in the pocket of the NRA. I believe we ...
