Seth Godin rocks it out as usual:

Five minutes a day you might do exceptional work, remarkable work, work that matters. Five minutes a day you might defeat the lizard brain long enough to stand up and make a difference.

And five minutes of rocking would be enough, because it would be five minutes more than just about anyone else.

It’s been almost an entire year, almost to the hour as I write this, since Galadriel passed away.

Six months ago, I tried to write about how I felt at that point, and utterly failed.

But in many ways, that posting wasn’t an utter failure, because everything that I wrote in it was true.

I still look for her.. In fact, this very morning, before the fogginess had lifted from my brain, I was wondering where she was when I woke up.

I still mourn her.

A few days ago, I downloaded the video for I will follow you into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie. I could only watch about thirty seconds of the video, featuring a pair of rabbits who grow old and then pass away together, before I broke down.

One year later, I still cry.

How big of a deal is this? Huge.
What happens [...]

January 18, 2010

The President comes to town to help his senate candidate, Martha Coakley, and finds, perhaps a bit of a cold reception.
The Boston Herald opines:
He may have come to town to fight for his agenda, but there is a growing body of evidence that his agenda – on health care, on energy, even on financial regulatory [...]

The Boston Herald endorses a Republican?

January 12, 2010

Surely that had to be a joke.
But no, it’s true.
There’s a real chance that Scott Brown could win the Massachusetts Senate special election on January 19th. Let’s hope that he can.

Merry Christmas

December 25, 2009

Along the road to Damascus the light shone brightly. But afterward Paul of Tarsus, too, was sore afraid. He feared that other Caesars, other prophets, might one day persuade men that man was nothing save a servant unto them, that men might yield up their birthright from God for pottage and walk no more in [...]
