It's Friday night. The Olypmics may be on, but we watched Bill Moyers Journal. The whole hour was devoted to an interview with Andrew Bacevich. What a remarkable insight this man has! His latest book is called The Limits of Power. Bacevich's thesis is, to paraphrase Walt Kelly's Pogo, "We have met the problem, and he is us". We have allowed ourselves to become consumers rather than producers, and we are unwilling to do anything to change that. Click here to listen to the interview or to read more about Bacevich.
The newlyweds came by for a little bit today, on their way back to school. This will be their last semester before graduation. They'll finish in December, take their honeymoon in January, and then hopefully be starting their new jobs and new chapter in their life together in February. They're hoping to find jobs in the Atlanta area. They are both very focussed and confident, so I'm sure they'll do well. We probably won't see them again until Christmas, so this was really a treat to get in a visit. I had assured Amanda that it was okay to browse through the paintings and photographs and ask for ones she might want. I reserved the right to refuse, but it's always okay to ask. Guess what - they left with two paintings.
The photo today is of the newlyweds.

Hope your shoulder pain goes away completely soon! I've had problems with my back recently (have had life long problems with chronic episodes) so can empathise. Love the photo of the newlyweds. What a beautiful dress, love the detail on it.
