Snow!

A beautiful natural sight: snow blankets Sunnyside Gardens! Normalcy. Peace. Amen.

Live with Love Rather than Force

You might quiet the whole world for a second
if you pray.

And if you love, if you
really love,

our guns will
wilt.
-- St. John of the Cross, as quoted in Wayne Dyer's Change Your Thoughts -- Change Your Life: Living the Wisdom of the Tao. (I have been reading Wayne's interpretation of the Tao Te Ching daily -- available through Hay House. Consider it.)

Friends and fans may wish to check out my better camera Rod photos and also visit Rod's MySpace page where you can play some of his music.

(I met the Button Buddha Ruth Klein there -- kind enough to alert me of his being in NYC!)

We miss our fellow Laura bloggers. Find us there most Sundays, 1-2 pm (Eastern time). Then onwards to blogging at the Sam Seder Show. Seder you all later!

Nice Niece, Nice Friends

Alan, Dana, Jill

Dana Pfister recently visited Perth, Australia, and amidst her adventures found some time to meet up with her Aunt Kate Anne's penfriend(s), Alan and Jill.

Theatrical Prelude to Super Tuesday

Following Air America Radio's Rachel Maddow's advice, I took time out from pure politics to enjoy a fun NYC theatrical event, starring her former co-host Lizz Winstead. Shoot the Messenger plays Mondays at the Green Door, 45 Bleeker, New York City. Rachel was the special guest for the Act 2 segment, so there was lots of talk of politics and Super Tuesday. Act 1 is this terrific Morning Talk Show spoof with hosts Davis Miles and Hope Jean Paul: wonderfully entertaining with hoots galore. See it!
