I guess, as I go to the woods, like Antler or that dude at Walden, I am reminded that laptops, no matter how cool, matter little in the woods. That a good blackberry, while cool to the kids on twitter, means little when you have leaves for pillows and might just occasionally need to poop outside.
- I reject the concept or belief that Wausau is just another Mayberry. That being said, do you think the recent scandals, is that even the correct term, have diminished the role of Mayor Tipple, Mike Morrissey, Bill Nagle or the City Council? While many people in town look at local politics even more apathetically than national politics, does this seem to be a time where this is not the case? Does a Core Value seminar matter?
- Have you been to the Filmor? What did you think?
- Is the grass always greener on the other side of the fence? I ask this, as I have grown up here, and I like it here, but so many folks just seem to want to complain and complain about everything, that everything everywhere else is better, that the great ideas are all someplace else. I often think, no one is holding you hostage. Just go.
- What will you do this long weekend?
- Have you ever returned to work after a long period off, say for childbirth or you saved up to travel the world sort of thing? What was that like?
- When you look back on your life, what was your best day? A friend told me her story of childbirth recently, and it moved me.
That is all I have. I have been ill, and am still pretty sick. Make due.
