My favorite song of the moment is Why -- the version performed by 3T with Michael Jackson. It is lovely. Click the post title to launch the video.

Politics

I am infuriated with ignorance. The situation: President Obama makes a speech last night that aired on television. Lots of people who are uniformed and don't even exercise their right to vote make ignorant statements.

I am by no means saying that I am super-informed. I am not. There are lots of opportunities that I pass on that would make me a more learned person. I do, however, try to keep myself somewhat educated on issues and politicians.

Perhaps we could all take a lesson here -- to actively do something about a situation that we don't agree with instead of moaning about it.

Why does Monday come before Tuesday?

I am tired, but unable to sleep. It is too late for medication -- for then I won't be able to wake up fully to get the boys off to school. Perhaps a bit of writing will settle the fray and allow me to sleep.

I was thinking back over my life. Of the things that I have done that I don't understand now. Whatever the reasons were at the time, I made those choices. I guess it is like asking why does Monday come before Tuesday? That is just the way it is.
