…on this Memorial Day, but I’m not.
There is no reasonable excuse for failing to care for our soldiers and their families—with speed, excellence, and compassion. Year long delays in processing paperwork? Over 20 suicides daily? Come on, America. Come on, Americans. Demand a better job.
So much lip service is paid by politicians to the honor and sacrifice in service to our country. But where is the “fix it, and fix it now…REALLY fix it” commitment from our president, our congress, and the appointed leadership in our government? I believe the line employees would accomplish their mission of caring well for our military family.
Modern families, indeed. I have had mothers x3!
Happy Mothers’ Day Betty, Pat, and Barbara!
I’ve been aware of this decision-making matrix for a long time. Heck, I’ve even used it! But I didn’t know until today that it’s attributed to Dwight Eisenhower.
What’s fresh for me in this drawing is the simple “what do do” in each category.

“The Strange Secret Behind Founding a Business” is an interesting article by Kevin Ready on Forbes.com about the invisible forces founder/entrepreneurs bring to bear on the world around them as they create.
I found it particularly inspiring as I’ve begun readying an attempt to start a new business later this year. The process is Methodical/Mechanical, Technical, sure… but at some point, when a venture really takes off, it feels like an alchemical miracle occurs.
That’s what I created and experienced in the 90s with The Elephant Walk. Time to do it again! 
…I can’t imagine what it would be like to be the family.
Their son and brother was killed crossing the street. A woman is arrested and charged with vehicular homicide. Later her boyfriend confesses to being the driver. The DA tries her anyway, and she’s found not guilty. And the boyfriend has NOT been charged. Both “parties” are free. So for sure the driver is paying no price.
I believe the way this played out was the legal strategy of their defense team all along, understanding and gaming the system. At least THAT part of this story is no accident. But I cannot endorse nor defend this path to freedom.
No, not TV. This is the reality for friends and neighbors in my town. Sigh…….
Imagery, curiosities, and opinions.
