1. Gilbert Brahms:I know you all have to put time limits on your podcasts, but it seems those limits always come at intense moments of passionate engagement. Very absorbing for the listener, who is never tempted, in contrast to when listening to other bloggers’ podcasts, to open a second tab. And, I must say, your interweaving of personal experience with more general observations is much more interesting than anything Hollywood has to offer (although I cannot say for certain, since I haven’t gone to a movie theater in about 14 years).

So true about the way young women are dressing today. I see them in the stores with their pop-tart low riders and naked midriffs. If I was 55 years younger I might think it was cool. These days it just makes me sad that they don’t have more respect for themselves and their families. Yep, I’m an old codger who’s stuck back in the 50s.
Keep the discussion on abortion going. We need to keep talking about this until our society wakes up and says, “Abortion without thinking about ALL the options is NOT a good thing.”
