Making Waves with Tubas – Online Adventures in Personal Boundaries

Another cloudy day has brought me here to repent.  I thought perhaps writing this article in this place, would be appropriate, especially since it is here that I have typed long and hard about the good things I think about.  I am kind of proud that in close to 400 posts I have really had [...]

Book: A Letter to a Christian Nation – Atheist Porn?

I was going to originally title this post, “Sam Harris, The Sexiest Man Alive”, but then I thought that would probably be too honest.  In any case, I suspect that I’m not Sam’s type, but now I’m really getting off track of the subject of this post. Kind of like the others but different. I [...]

Two Minutes of Hate – Give the Proud What They Want

I suspect that every one who found their way to this post is aware of the Andy Warhol quote, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” With this meme Andy meant to characterize the impermanence of celebrity as it was then in the late sixties, but how much more true has the [...]

Ain’t got twenty years to heal

It is kind of weird.  If you would have asked me a few weeks ago if I would be visiting the East coast again this soon, I would have probably guessed no. I’m on a plane into Newark New Jersey, and I’m starting a trip to see some family and meet some old friends. If [...]

The Discussion, The Precepts, and The Dojo

We all agreed we would not log the discussion from last night. It was a wonderful time and a most difficult and interesting topic to discuss. Here is the audio file that we discussed: Here is a link to that audio file : http://www.dharmapodcast.org/podpress_trac/web/81/0/dp080422.mp3 Since we don’t have a log I thought I would type [...]

Smoking: Status – Not Smoking minus a pack

This happened last week.  I’m catching up on my disclosure, before I put out my weekend posts… smiles and hugs to all… – DV – But but but… I did fail again.  The thought of entering the work force made me say screw it and I bought a pack.  I finished it and quit again.  [...]
