Trying to Stay Focused on the Righteous Path

work­sta­tion

There are days when it does not suck to be a keep-it-small, work at home some­times, con­sul­tant.  Today is the day.  The Ridge­back is pounc­ing at a blue jay, the mos­qui­toes have not found me some­how, and the Drive-By-Truckers (http://drivebytruckers.com/) are play­ing at a pleas­antly loud vol­ume.  Fin­ish­ing some client reports that are not even too late, yet, before head­ing to the beach.  Try­ing to stay focused on the right­eous path (http://drivebytruckers.com/records.html).  They play July 23rd at the 9:30 club, it should be stinkin’ hot by then.

got a brand new car, it drinks a bunch of gas
got a house in a neigh­bor­hood that’s fad­ing fast,
got a dog and a cat that don’t fight too much,
got a few hun­dred chan­nels, to keep me in touch
got a beau­ti­ful wife, and 3 tow-headed kids
a cou­ple of big secrets I’d kill to keep hid
I don’t know God, but I fear his wrath,
try­ing to stay focused on the right­eous path.  (by Pat­ter­son Hood http://www.pattersonhood.com/)

All is not lost folks.  Vot­ers are ask­ing for even more change than they were promised.  We are in grief about the Gulf, and our pow­er­less­ness.  But we need to lis­ten to the peo­ple first.  The art of con­ver­sa­tion has been lost.
