Marching Bands of Manhattan
If I could open my arms And span the length of the isle of Manhattan I'd bring it to where you are Making a lake of the East River and Hudson And if I could open my mouth Wide enough for a marching band to march out They would make your name sing And bend through alleys and bounce off all the buildings often times, in rooms full of people - strangers, acquaintances, friends, special people (those who possess ears, hearts and minds safe enough to protect the most fragile of thoughts) i have this strangest urge to lunge at them; to suddenly embrace and smother them with this pink woolly blanket of love. I wish we could open our eyes To see in all directions at the same time Oh, what a beautiful view If you were never aware of what was around you not because this love is impersonal, but simply because this love is expandable. "it is possible", this love believes, "to trust and not be naive, at the same time." And it is true what you say That I live like a hermit... (more)

newsweek prepares to close shop?
newsweek prepares to close shop? Given Newsweek’s redirection this year to more opinion, analysis and provocative ideas pieces, the move raises questions about the magazine's commitment to reporting in Washington. "Holly has been a great asset to the bureau, and I'm sorry to see her go," said Washington bureau chief Jeffrey Bartholet. "Katie Connolly will continue to cover the White House for us on a daily basis. Howard Fineman and Jonathan Alter will also continue writing about national politics for the magazine and Newsweek.com." that's from michael calderone's 'newsweek's bailey taking buyout' (politico) on holly bailey, a d.c. reporter for the magazine, leavng. and in reference to the above, the 'redirection'? i believe that was obvious when they trashed reporting to allow them to trash sarah palin with 'non-think' pieces by such rejects as chris hitchens. and jonathan alter and howard fineman? not reporters....

leap of faith
he needs space
Well, I've enjoyed the week off. It's given me some breathing room to think about where I'm going and what I should be doing and to spend extra time with the kids and friends. The Husband, his Asperger's is showing. I think it will be good for him to go back to work. Yesterday we all went for a hike, it was another beautiful day out for late November. We're hiking along, but I'm noticing that we're getting pretty far away from the parking lot, so I'm thinking we should make a loop back in that direction before we find ourselves all out in the middle of nowhere and having to still make our way back. So I stop his wandering progress and suggest we take a branch to the right, to stay closer to the parking lot. I can see he's a little uncomfortable with that, and I learn that it's because "there's people over there". Damn, the man will hike 5 miles out of his way to not have to hike by other people! I'm thinking, it's a beautiful fall day in Colorado with a lot of people having... (more)
