- I cannot stop noshing. I have to load up on healthy snacks to bring to work every day. What is that? I used to live on coffee and cigarettes and would sooner have starved than have dessert. Ah, to be 21 again!
- I now have FIVE dry cleaners. Cheap cleaners and "good" cleaners at home, cheap cleaners and "good" cleaners at work, and a specialty cleaners to shorten my new ski pants (recommended by Sno-Haus). It's either Nirvana or an omen of impending implosion.
- I'm worried about the implications of U.S. eavesdropping on our allies' cell phones. We used to be a moral compass for the world. Now we not only have Middle East terrorists trying to decimate us, but we are alienating our friends as well. Where does that leave the United States? If we keep squandering our world leadership and our strategic relationships, we will end up a pariah. That is not the world I want my children to grow up in. I want them to have the same absolute security and privilege that being an American meant for all us baby boomers when we were growing up. I fear that the devolvement of Washington into a bickering black hole has swallowed up any hope of true leadership or vision that will allow us to retain the hard-won global respect that we spent much of the 20th century earning.
Stop behaving like a schoolyard bully and start acting like the moral barometer that we are supposed to be!! You're screwing it up for my kids!!!
