Gorn interviews Jesus

Gorn interviews Jesus:


"We're here with Jesus of Nazareth, namesake of the Christian religion, healer,
teacher ... and may I say snazzy dresser"


"Thank you Gorn, I'm very happy to be here"


"First of all, I need to ask you this: Are you from a blue state or a red
state?"


"Neither and Both, I like to think I'm from the Gold
State"


"California?"


"No, the state of God in each of our hearts, the Kingdom
of God, streets of gold etc etc"


"So you didn't make some kind of personal pact with the current administration to win two elections, for free reign on the planet, protecting the rich, polluting the air, waging war under false pretense, loading the courts with right-wing judges, thumbing his nose at the Constitution, and allowing terrorist supporting nations to control Atlantic seaports?"


"Sorry Gorn, I think you may be interviewing the wrong guy
here. The only pact I made was addressed at the Sermon on the Mount,
perhaps you're thinking of the guy with the horns and pointy tail"

"You mean Cheney?"

"Gorn, you slay me!" ... "but yes, you need to talk to
Dick"

Wonderful things


Two wonderful things that involve my daughter:
One, she is such a little artist. I found these post-it thingies stuck to the kitchen counter top. Sort of a Cheshire Cat theme I believe.

AND my lovely fiancee finished a very pretty scarf.
Thank you hun . . . she loves it.

Getting your money's worth

Some programming sticks with you beyond the years. Example: folding my laundry.
A long time ago, circa 1983 – I had joined the Navy and went to boot camp in San Diego. There was awful food, polishing torpedoes, and a lot of marching around, but the most curious task we all learned before anything else was how to properly fold your clothing.

I imagined it was for two reasons why we had to have our stuff folded just right, to fit everything we own into the smallest little locker on the ships, and to have attention to detail. Attention to detail is something that is lacking in the work force today, in the Navy and later when I was in the Army, it can mean life or death.

It still seemed absurd folding your underwear like everyone else, but that was part of the game. I remember being in the front-leaning-rest position for having a little wrinkle in the crotch of a towel fold.

After all these years, I still fold my towels and t-shirts like I was taught in the Navy. Of course they are nowhere close to the perfection demanded back then, but strange how things just get programmed. Taxpayers got their money’s worth on that one.
