"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character..." I still cannot see or hear these words without some formidable reaction--- tears, chills, quiet contemplation. August 28, 1963, and now coming up on the 40th Anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" Speech which was celebrated this weekend. Race relations still have a long way to go to make that dream a reality; but the seed was planted with King's influence on that August day in 1963. (Tom Paine site weighs in)



Today's Quotation

If you would cure anger, do not feed it. Say to yourself: "I used to be angry every day; then every other day; now only every third or fourth day." When you reach thirty days offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the gods.

~Epictetus (c. 55-c. 135 CE), Phrygian Stoic philosopher The Golden Sayings of Epictetus

SoBig.F Virus - I just put together that the SoBig virus was what jammed up my email box Wednesday. When I pulled up my email, I saw I had 238 emails and they were still coming in as fast as they could. With subject lines like, Your details, Thank you!, Re: Thank you!, Re: Details, Re: Re: My details, Re: Approved, Re: Your application, Re: Wicked screensaver or Re: That movie. And with 238 emails, I had them all. Luckily, I deleted all those emails. I never open anything if I don't recognize who it's from.



edited to add: Rock Stars and their Parents, 1971. Grace Slick, Frank Zappa, Ginger Baker, etc.
