Apples-Zeros

The author of this is unknown, but the sentiment is mine.

To All My Democrat Friends:

Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit, my best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, non-addictive, gender-neutral celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasion and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all. I also wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2008, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great. Not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country nor the only America in the Western Hemisphere . Also, this wish is made without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith or sexual preference of the wishee.

To  My Republican Friends:

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

A good friend is coming over today to paint the hallway for me…yes I do murals,but dislike the boring wall stuff.=) We are also grilling steaks later and I look forward to some good conversational catch-up,  and a possible sporting event via TV,etc.

I’m not much into sports,but it is fun to watch others get so excited about them . I have watched my share of Mavericks games the last couple of years, and am beginning to understand some of the basics and know some of the players.

I am impressed with the dedication, talent,  and sportsmanship when I see it,but still think that athletic salaries are beyond ridiculous.

God says our treasures are where our hearts are and nothing shows this more than the celebrity worship of this country…but this is an old argument and will always be debated.
