It really is an insane world that we live in. We invade other countries, supposedly to give the other countries freedom.

American Corporations may be the only ones to profit from such

behavior, their freedom being the almighty dollar. We got bombed last week showing us that we are no longer free from attack on our

own soil. Is there a tit for tat somehow in this?

President Bush opened his Presidential Library, yesterday, patting himself on the back for the lousy job that he did when he was the boss. I was amazed to hear President Carter praise President Bush. Honey please.

It is 3:30 am. I have been up since 2:30 am. Such an early rising is what happens, often, when I go to bed at 7:45 pm. When I was younger, I used to stay up until one or two a.m. These days I am in bed between 8 pm and 9. I like the early morning hours. There is something pure about them. It is as if the rest of the world is asleep and I am awake, alone with my thoughts.

My dogs, Morisson and Dylan, and my black cat, Jaggar, followed me out of the bedroom and into this home office of mine moments after I rose this a.m. Though Jaggar is basically a very unaffectionate cat: he won’t let anyone pet him; he does follow me around the house most of the day. When I go to the basement, I always hear the pitter patter of his little feet coming down the stairs after me. When I use the bathroom, he pushes in the door and rubs his body against my ankles. My dogs live in this room with me. Their loyalty is amazing and rewarding.

I am very happy to be alive this morning. Life is the most precious gift that we have. I hope that you have a great day.
