That you've read the Bible from cover to cover? If you can I joined you today. If you can't, why not? The Bible is a unique work of writing that should be read by all, if not because you believe, then to dispel long held wrong ideas or prejudices.
Now to start over!

Microsoft Vista
I never thought the day would come that I'd say I like Vista but it's here. Like anything else new we find fault and cling to what we know best without giving the new the benefit of the doubt. There are a lot of things annoying with Vista such as permissions and the search function but there are a lot of things right with it too such as Mail and Calendar. I really haven't explored very much but am as comfortable getting around in Vista as I was in XP. There is no real reason to give up XP if you don't want to but soon We'll have Windows 7 and then XP will become even more a relic.
It is interesting watching my daughter on her new Vista machine. There really is a steep learning curve, one which I wouldn't want to tackle while working full time and going to class once a week to keep current on a teaching certificate.
So there, I said it. Now what?

Spend, spend, spend
Today in Indiana, President Obama said he sure would like some of the dollars cut out of the Recovery and Reinvestment Bill put back in. He said something like; while we are spending money doesn't it make sense to spend money on problems that have been with us for years. Oh my! Hold on to your wallets!!! I thought this was a RECOVERY plan not a business as usual spending bill!!!
One thing for sure, he's a Democrat!!! Spend, spend spend. When is the new 60% tax bill going to be introduced?

A Tale of Two Choices
Let's say you are associated with a group having internal and even external problems. You get to choose a new spokesperson.
If given the choice between a young man who is well educated and talks well but has no real experience and one who tells it like it is with no sugar, who would you choose?
I think you have already decided and it appears to me that the shine is coming off the one you selected.
The first person promised to clean out the people who aren't doing their jobs and promised a new look to the group. No more business as usual except when it came to picking his staff and management team. Then expediency took front seat to the law and other consideration. His idea of "duck and cover" just in case it is needed is to constantly remind you how bad the group dynamic is and promises solutions. But the solutions sound more like business as usual. He is letting 2 committees make policy while he stands back and talks about it.
The second person who had a sound plan but was a little to rough around the edges and was associated with old management is quietly doing what he proposed to do in the beginning. He is calm and speaks with confidence. His plan is one that makes sense. His associates are likewise getting down to business.
It will be interesting for you to watch these two people and try to be objective. Whose plan will bring positive results? Maybe because you were so desperate for change that you threw your hat into the ring of the first person who spoke so adimately for change.
And you quietly hope this is fanciful writing!
