Sunday afternoon redux
Been practicing my sax for an hour and am happy with the results, so far. I thought I was probably crazy, taking up the saxophone at 58, but thought what the hell, I am getting older, whether or not I do anything new, so it is never too late till I am dead. If I don't find a new hobby, I will probably just spen more mone on ebay, on records which will wind up collecting dust, or more old amplifiers, can't have too many amps.
I got the idea for this blog from Derek, he is a computer maven, and I think it is a good way to keep track of my, generally insane thoughts. I read my NY Times this morning, which is my normal Sun. morning routine and, as is also my routine, got pissed off at our current administration and it arrogant world domination fantacies. Maureen Dowd was her usual glib, eloquent, self, but today was lacking much humor, do to the unhumorous topic of her column. I find it difficult to wax humours regarding the prison torture our President and his minions are sanctioning, in Abu Graib, Gitmo etc., especially the crusade like flavor it has taken on. I like to think of myself as moderate to liberal, politically, depending on the subject being discussed, but I am leaning far more left the more this curren clown, George W. and his boys and girs, continue to bull their way more and more intrusively into my life and the lives of more and more people around the planet, with apparently little or no regard for law or common sense. Well I am done, I had no plan on getting on a soap box but it always feels good to vent where there is dangerously little chance of anyone ever reading it.
