Listening, well after 11:00 pm on a Sunday evening, to Ich will nur dir zu Ehren leben from Bach's Weihnachtsoratorium as sung by the divine Fritz Wunderlich, taken from us too soon. Ah, to have the singleness of purpose to live only zu Ehren! I would probably get bored, but just think of how simple everything would be.

I retreat into Bach when I'm desperately trying to escape the stink of our politics and the despair of our "compromises."

Adults in Washington?

I really wish that our elected leaders would grow up, compromise and get a deal done that will address the serious underlying problems facing the United States. Instead, too many are wedded to dogma and unthinking principle that bear no relationship to our economic and fiscal challenges.

Reengaging

A new post. Finally. Expect more, but then again, I've said that before.
