Custom . . .


(from Joseph and his Brothers by Thomas Mann, translation by Josesph E. Woods)
". . . That occurred everywhere among men, and everywhere men fretted whether they still had an understanding of both the Lord and the times - even though that also led here and there to the most awkward sort of knowledge and even though Jacob's inherited ideas about the Lord provided him with the most refined and exhausting means for testing the worrisome question about the extent to which man's usages and customs could lag behind the will and development of that same Lord.

All the same, how very close at hand error constantly lurked here as well. One need not even think of Laban, left behind in the land of origins, and of how he put his little son in a jar. He had simply lacked any awareness of the problem - for instance, of how custom could become abomination. . ."

Split . . .


Knit one, slip and slip . . .

Not sure what that means.  But in spite of a Monday full of many reasons to not be so content, here we sit quite content.  At least I hope she, as well as I.

Have any infinitives been split in the writing of the above lines?

Punctuality. . .

. . . Dreams . . .
The bar was moderately full and the manager said we could play.  As a matter of fact, he said we could begin at any time. But we didn't even know where the stage was or how to access the venue to load our gear in.  Meantime, more and more people flowed into the room(s).  MANY, MANY more people flowed into the room.  Now the manger was sounding annoyed.  "You can start whenever you're ready!"  Ready?  How could we be ready when we still haven't located a door?  (Flash to a parking garage) Equipment unloaded from vehicles and stacked ready to be brought in.  Finally, directions were received regarding access to an elevator and the venue.  Two of us began to load the gear into the elevator, while the remaining man agreed to park the cars.  Wheeling what appears to be a Leslie tone cabinet into the lift I suddenly and regretfully realize that . . .

I FORGOT TO BRING MY 'OHO' UNIFORM!!!!
AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Sing It . . .

Cowboy . . .


Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

It's a mystery
Comes out of the blue
Just some evening
Words exchanged between we two
Starts out simply
Ends up blistering

Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

Maybe harmless stuff
About the weather 
Or some such
Dinner's fabulous
The company 
Was so intoxicating

Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

I'd like to talk
About what's happening
But when I do
I find that
I'm the one to blame

We've got to try
To see this through
We've been
Through so many things
And worse things too
The answer's
There to see

Is there something new
That's happening between us
Or has
Something gone away that used to be

Morality . . .


(from http://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/bernie-sanders-asks-if-american-economy-moral-n364541 on Presidential candidate Bernie Sanders)
". . . "Ninety-nine percent of all new income generated today goes to the top 1 percent. The top one-tenth of 1 percent owns as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent. Does anybody think this is the kind of economy we should have. Do we think it's moral?" . . . "These people are so greedy, they're so out of touch with reality," he said. "They think they own the world. ... I'm sorry to have to tell them, they live in the United States, they benefit from the United States, we have kids who are hungry in this country. We have people who are working two, three, four jobs, who can't send their kids to college. . ."

Long Shot . . .

. . . maybe


. . . but not impossible. . .


(from Michael Phelan, Social Security Works)
". . . And now, with Sen. Bernie Sanders formally announcing his run for President, we have our first declared candidate who is in favor of expanding Social Security. That means we have the support of 1 out of 2 Democratic candidates so far—let's change that. We have been working together to keep the numbers in Congress going up—we need to keep the same pressure on every candidate that wants to be our President. We need to make sure that expanding Social Security is a core Democratic plank—and that those who would cut benefits and services are the ones on the fringe. . . Senator Sanders joins Hillary Clinton as an official candidate. So far Clinton has not taken a public position on expansion. But with 79% of likely voters (including Democrats, Republicans and Independents) in favor of expanding Social Security, the choice is obvious: We need to expand our Social Security system! . . ."
