On having girl on your glasses

or, an exciting new beginning.


I haven't been around much lately, and there's a fantastic and wonderful new reason for that. For know, just let me tell you this. When you meet someone and she's more beautiful than you were expecting, that's good. When she can make you laugh both when she's trying and when she's not, that's good. When you can have an hour long conversation on the third date about how much particular pieces of art once affected you, that's good. When she kisses you and you fingers start to tingle, when you have to wipe smudges of her off your glasses while you catch your breath before you can drive home, that's really, really good.

On taking a very frightening step backwards

or, "Mr. President, Your Excellency, I'd like you to meet the Grand Wizard and his buddy Hitler." "It's ok, we already know each other."

Don't these people realize what they are? I always assumed that, in the modern world, in an enlightened America, that politicians and clergy would try to AVOID being bigots.

Sadly, I was wrong.
