I remember it said, by various people, of no more authority or wisdom than I, that people die in threes. Usually, I’ve heard that sort of thing out of the mouth of someone I worked with round about the end of the year after the death of a celebrity of some stripe. And [...]

Tim Boucher’s got a new micro-post up in regards to the old saw that goes “Power Corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely.”
His statement illuminates a different, more positive perspective on these things:

The middle class is supposed to be disconnected at the neck.

Microchips anyone?
The entire spectacle surrounding Barry Bonds and, more recently, Roger Clemens in particular and steroid/human-growth hormone use in general among professional athletes [...]

Ah, we arrive at another Turkey-Day. In the TV-less world I reside in most of my hours, that still means spending time with family, connecting with each other, whether we’re talking, eating or simply silently sitting in the same room reading different books.
