ACROSS AN EMPTY TABLE

We’re retired, not expired…and there is no deadline to produce for this site….and so we talk with friends and family; read; watch; debate with neighbors; put up yard signs; attend church and do various modest outreach projects….and do not turn to this site to share a thought or two…with probably no one.


We have a note somewhere in our work room that we write for writing’s sake…that it does not matter if there is no interrelation…interaction….dare I say….intercourse [sorry]….platonic, of course…..

But it does matter after a while. It is more fun…easier…to debate…present…argue…when someone sits across the smoke-filled room and the ice cubes clink merrily in the rocks glasses.
And deadlines do help.  God knows.

Too bad, but there it is.

I sit for a moment at this site now because I am between tasks and there is a moment of opportunity….

It is still early in the cocktail hour and thoughts have not become foggy….

So, as the pace of life quickens at The Study….and as no dialogue is possible at this site…….it does not really deserve an audience….so little is being lodged here….we at The Study will ,I guess,  carry on our modest harangues over the fence as it were….with living, breathing people…..not writing to the ether [?].

I have found it a real impediment to have no deadline and no one to talk to on these pages…..

If I can get past this/these impediments…..more posts will appear…..maybe.

In the meantime, know that our President is a liar, big time. The Congress is disfunctional. Our national security is increasingly being challenged and threatened.
And half the country thinks he is just the greatest leader of all time.

A country gets what it deserves.  An ignorant citizenry is getting a very second-rate leader.  Third rate.

Vote very carefully this November.

Watch the debates….think about the big picture..

As Churchill once said, the United States eventually does the right thing, after it has done all the wrong things.

The nation's future requires a thinking electorate.
