"Catching Up" is what I'm doing today!

I'm a week late, but there was a request on 06/05/06 from a dear blogger friend as follows:
"Out of curiosity, might I ask why Lip-sticking is no longer listed in your blogroll, Mr. Peters?"

Relax at home a while Tom - sorry to say USA soccer team slipped up in the World Cup today - but the good news is England have three points and are well on the way to the second round! :-)

"Built to change" vs. "Built to last".

So my cute-looking then-state-of-the-art Mac long bit the dust - (there's probably one in an art museum somewhere), but my ugly clunky tower PC is still going strong ... but with many hardware and software changes ....

Trevor, you'll be amused (appalled?) to know that the fate of the U.S. team was not even the top Yahoo daily sports headline here in the U.S.; a famous American-football player broke his jaw in a motorcycle accident--that topped the charts.

Amused rather than apalled Tom :-)

Bill Shankly, Manager of Liverpool Football Club in the 1960's/70's, now sadly departed, once said

'Football (soccer) is not a matter of life and death - it is far more important than that'

What amuses me more is how you guys call your thing the ‘Baseball WORLD Series’ when in reality it is your own little backyard game with Canada thrown in just for good measure! The rest of the world is oblivious in the main about it – now that is really funny! Basil Fawlty would have a field day with that one :-)

I just went through all 200+ slides of your Musings - when you put it all in this context (i.e. quick imagings rather than lingering absorption) it becomes one heck of a stream of consciousness, and a pretty powerful one to boot. Thanks for sharing Tom.

Tom:

The photos of Vermont in the Spring are fantastic! What a place to "catch up and warm up." It's got sanctuary written all over it - how do you ever leave?!

Football worldwide [avenue for communication/peace] vs. USA Superbowl 2006 winning footballer in a motorcycle accident [no helmet].

Former seems much smarter now.

I think I may have misread one of your charts... and in an interesting way (but maybe it was how you intended it).

The chart said:
Excellence.
Causes.
Adversaries.
And you went on to address Excellence, some causes of Excellence, and some adversaries of Excellence.

viagra store usa But what I read, when I first saw that chart, was "Excellence causes adversaries"... and I thought, "How true."
