 It's always good to get people together, just not have permanent rules about it. Because when you make detailed rules or beliefs, you inevitably leave someone out.

Truth in Advertising

 Mid-term election coming up. And all candidates do is bash their opponents in their ads. It might be self defeating, as people will remember your opponent more than you. And all the ads take liberties with their ads about what their opponent is for or has done. They really think the voters are morons and can't tell the lies.

It's been said before, but everyone has done something good in the last two years. Write your commercials around that. 

Great Baseball Players

 How do you decide the greatest? People use statistics, but there are so many measures these days and people pick the measurements that will pick their players.

I figure the greatest is the player on the other team you hate to see come up to bat or pitch, but at the same time you look forward to it as he's the best.

Just the one's I've seen.

God as Joe the Bartender

 All the stuff you read or hear about, no matter what religion, is what people think about God. No real messages from God.

My picture of God is similar to Jackie Gleason's sketch, Joe the Bartender.

He sings old-time songs. My Dad sang old-time songs. My Gal Sal, A Capital Ship, Harrigan, The French Grenadier.

He wipes down the bar. Always nice to have a clean place to eat and drink.

He listens.

Every once in awhile, he'll push a free drink your way.

Amen.
