Sunday is PBS day for me once again. Due to Christmas and Hannukah there’s been a lot of secular programming. I watched this one show about Christians and Jews. Two congregations agreed to attend each others ceremonies to learn about each others faith. It was an excellent idea. The Christian’s [...]

I was going through my neglected copy of “The Jazz Piano Book”. I want to be able to play jazz piano but I get frustrated sometimes. It has photos of some of the great jazz musicians. Herbie Hacock and Horace Silver were quite the lookers in their youth. Most classical composers [...]

This is the kind of bold direct spirituality I generally avoid, however I was just watching Starting Over and the 19 year old girl PJ once again made me think. She’s making the decision to discover if her faith is the path for her. It seems that she’s closer to deciding that her [...]

I walked in to the house after getting the mail today and slipped. It’s like foggy and a bit damp outside so my slippers were very slightly moistened. This is not the first time this has happened in this very hallway. I once fell there and hit my head on the [...]

I heard of this on today’s jeopardy. “Cognitive Dissonance” is according to the American Heritage Dictionary: A condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one’s beliefs and one’s actions, such as opposing the slaughter of animals and eating meat. The jeopardy question applied this to smoking. Most smokers know it’s [...]
