Isn’t that what it’s all about?
Listening to Obama’s acceptance speech last night, I couldn’t help but draw parallels between Lincoln (which he talked about), FDR, and him. I suppose to leave out Washington is historically inaccurate, but I don’t know enough to draw those conclusions. This is not to say that I have decided that [...]
Life is so simple, until you live it.
Chris said yesterday (I’m paraphrasing):
“We need to stop trying to be, and just spend our time being.”

I know - it sounds a little woo-woo (new agey, if you will), but listen for a minute. A dear friend of mine sent me a link to some audio files from the website of a couple of Buddhist teachers in New York City who did a series of teachings on this subject - and [...]

What is the value of this much-hyped interaction intended to get us ahead in our careers and social lives?
I have been pondering this question recently as I have been evaluating my success in finding the perfect job in Washington, DC — ie, I haven’t had much luck and wonder why.
I have been familiar with this bizarre sight from having wandered by it previously, but yesterday it struck me as particularly bizarre. You see, I had just left the House Committee on Foreign Relations meeting and was pondering the reason for such meetings — the seemingly strange way that both Congresspeople and the viewers act, [...]
