"It seems strange, in a way,"
said John, "that a little slip of a gal took
such a big part in that shooting in Congress this
week. However, in view of history and some of the
profoundest statements in literature, I guess
it's not so surprising after all. When all the
facts are revealed, we might find that the woman
in the case did more damage than all the men put
together. It reminds me of a story…" |

In the mountains Colorado there is a
resort lodge called Tamarron. It is 20 miles
north of Durango or nearly 40 miles from the
airport. The lodge was supposed to have
transportation waiting for me because I was the
guest speaker for a Ready Mix Concrete
Association. I expected the driver to be the
western type: gun-totin', tobacco-chewing ... and
she was. |

Pick up any equine publication these
days and you'll see numerous advertisements for
trainers all claiming to be the Horse Whisperer.
As a result of the phenomenal success of the
best-selling book and movie of the same name, on
any given day you can attend a seminar and learn
from a trainer how to break an unruly bronc
merely by whispering in the outlaw's ear. |

Arriving to pick up their newly pregnant
mares, one of the first questions proud mare
owners asks is, "What should I feed my mare
to produce the best possible colt?"
Unfortunately, the answer is often forgotten by

This is the time of the year when I get
nervous because I keep getting this mail from the
Infernal Revenue wanting me to pay for more
spending, or to reduce the debt. Whatever. In the
past I have always prepared for my meeting with
the accountant by putting last year's income and
expenses in a complicated linked spreadsheet I
had developed on my own. It was getting more and
more complicated. |
