License Plates

September 7th, 2010

I don’t know about other countries, but here in the U.S. states allow people to buy “vanity plates”. Instead of a combination of letters/numbers issued by the state the buyer can choose his own…as long as it uses only about 6 or 7 letters or numbers, isn’t obscene, and hasn’t been already chosen. msmail.

Uncertain Future?

September 7th, 2010

  This cartoon reminds me of an acquaintance years ago. His doctor looked up from the test results and said, “Tell me, Mr. Balestrini, do you believe in God?” Oh, oh. It also reminds me of some appeals from charities I’ve recently received. They weren’t asking for money now. They simply want me to remember [...]

LONG Waits

September 7th, 2010

  We’ve talked about waiting before, but it was mostly about how we spend our time when we have to wait for an appointment or for a meeting. The consensus was we have effective strategies for using that time wisely instead of feeling frustrated. I cheerfully admit, though, I wouldn’t do nearly as well as [...]
so interesting

Rattling the Bars of the Cage

September 7th, 2010

  I thought of this cartoon this morning when I read (Washington Post article) that investors are rushing to take money out of the Kabul Bank, creating worries that there might be a panic and the bank might collapse. The bank holds the assets that are used to pay teachers, policemen and soldiers. Just one [...]

Why keeping busy is a real tonic

September 7th, 2010

When I used to come home from school to find my mother frantically scrubbing the kitchen floor, I knew it was a sign that she was worried, depressed or anxious.
