I have a few links stacked up. One of the people from church is agonizing over blogging-she does it for awhile then stops. I looked back and my posting frequency averages out to about once a week. I started out there, took a 2\u00bd year hiatus, went to once a day, and am really variable right now. A burst, then nothing, then a burst. I know this isn’t good to keep readers, but since I’m not doing this to entertain the punters, “I, don’t care”, as Vendetta on Making Fiends<\/a> says…<\/p>\n

OK, so it’s been quiet, as it’s the New Year. I jumped rope last night and started back on the long Yang form. I did a little with the shakuhachi, and I really want to finish recording and do some new recording too. Also start on the ID program. I’m trying to lose weight, and clean things up-not using anti-perspirant\/deodorant (which means more diligence about being smelly), I need to start flossing again too. Work is progressing-fixing things. Erika’s going to Long Beach on the 17th. Kids are getting up reasonably well, but are still struggling with bedtime and too much TV\/game boy\/wii during the week. We were supposed to have a big ice storm last night and it didn’t happen-rainy and cold, though. Gamelan tonight.<\/p>\n

Here are the links-more depressing stuff. The Rabbi Shmuley is good, though he injects in some stuff that’s just incorrect conservative BS (the tariff stuff, for example). American Malaise<\/a>, Think Again: American Decline<\/a>, Big Brother: America’s Police State Mentality in the Electronic Age<\/a>, In the Twilight of the Social State<\/a>. I’m glad I’m reading the “The Philosophy of Freedom”<\/a>, Steiner says a lot about independence of thought, but I’m not sure about the dictum to follow society if it’s going in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n

6:13 pm<\/i>-On a happier note, watch this: 21st century enlightenment<\/a>. It looks like a series, and this one is amazing!<\/p>\n
