I actually have tickets to tomorrow's game and I'm determined to make it. Seeing as I'm having trouble navigating my apartment, though, I'm trying a little mind over matter mojo.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I remember you mentioning the trailer trip once. It reminds me of John Steinbeck's "Travels with Charlie," the record of his cross country (and back again) trip with Charlie, his dog, to "find America." He made that trip in the late 1950s, but many of his observations still ring true today. I used to travel more; I hope to one day have enough money to do so again...or find someone to send me on assignment. Wouldn't that be nice?<BR/><BR/>While I'm not sure my voice is reaching anyone who doesn't already share my perspective to some extent, I agree that we need more people making a fuss. Frankly, donating money is far more than most people do. The only trouble is, once you start giving to groups you support, the requests from any like-minded organization begin to pour in. I'm a member of about ten different environmental groups, some with a local focus and others, like the Sierra Club or Earthjustice, with a more broad view. I receive solicitations from at least thirty different groups, though, and it gets very annoying after a while.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'll try not to die and I'll try to make the game tomorrow. Go Mets! Go Cubbies! ;)Hungry Hyaenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06354349850246750046noreply@blogger.com
