I met an extraordinary, intelligent gentlemen tonight. He gave a presentation on to the SCV. He quoted Dante, Mao Tse-Tsung, T.S. Elliot, Mark Twain on the way through the Jackson Co. Missouri history of the War Between The States. He led us on a journey through time, weaving in and out of Macrocosm and Microcosm, everything in context. His tales and connections were as intriguing as his beard and long braided hair. Like Mike Betz, everyone should have to talk with (or rather listen to) this fellow.

I’ll miss my dad and the experiences he brings me like a limb. “Live Like You Were Dying” played on the radio on the way home.

The Pope is reported to have said that he wants a smaller and more conservative church. hmmm… need I say more? I’m not jealous, Hans. I’m still running for the next Pope. Vote early, vote often, folks. “Somethings are going to change around here.”

Apocalypse watch: 1) Pope asks Jesuit to resign as head of America Magazine. I don’t know why.
2) eBay is essential connector between material revolution and information revolution. Perhaps Africa’ll will post an add asking for humanitarian/security aid.

Movies: The color of oil on the Discovery Times channel. So good it could have been placed in the above category. Hans continues to strike out here as “Ice Age” sucked. Hoping to catch “The Incredibles.”

Prayers requested. Happy Mother’s Day.
