Sam Keen wrote an essay in the early 1970’s called “Exile and Homecoming.” The issue that he was grappling with is an important one, and I could put it in the form of a question: How does one live gracefully in time — amid the realities of past, present and future?

Sandie Lee, editor for Families Matter (www.storiesforchildrenmagazine.org), recently featured the story of Emma. “Each year, millions of children face danger and injury because of being left in vehicles unattended,” Sandie wrote.
We’ve all read the headlines and been horrified. We realize how easy this could happen—even to the best of caregivers. In our go-go, sleep deprived world, children are left in unattended cars more than we’d like to think.

For the last two and a half years I have been a card carrying member of the titanium knee society; for all the good that card does. To those of you who may not have seen a card, it displays a miniature x-ray of a total knee replacement, with the date of the operation and the surgeon’s name. The surgeon’s office proudly gave it to me saying that it was intended to show the (TSA) Transportation Security Administration agent at airport security checks that my setting off the metal detector was due to a legitimate operation and that I was not a threat to my fellow passengers. Right!

It is understandable that many people do not pay nearly as much attention to political issues as they do to practical decisions that they have to make in their own lives. For one thing, they have only one vote among millions, so their influence on what policies the government will follow is in no way comparable to the weight of their decisions in their own personal affairs.
One consequence is that politicians can get away with half-baked arguments that people would never accept in their personal lives, where they apply a lot more scrutiny.

The Obama administration has attacked Fox News in order to prevent government corruption stories broken on Fox from bleeding into the other media, which are all-consumed with daily updates on Levi Johnston's Playgirl spread and Carrie Prejean's breast implants.

A little over 7 years ago, Pharaoh came to live at our house. I've mentioned Pharaoh in this column many times, for he has been a much loved, valued member of our family.
