SLOW LEARNER
Having been out of the news loop for a while (it was kinda nice and may become a habit,) Linden must address some of his previous thoughts in order to complete this posting. At his age, it was easier when his memory was better.
Linden has strong religious beliefs and, as part of that, expects a great deal from those who are involved in the leadership of the church he chooses to attend. Fortunately, his church is blessed with great leadership and adheres closely to Bible based messages with very little attention given to what some would consider to be current social and/or political issues. If it did not follow this approach, he would find another church. After all, current event monitoring and preparing for life after death in this world are two distinctly different things.
In this vein, a news article or two from a couple of weeks ago has remained as an item of some little interest to Linden: The reporting that Barack Obama had decided, after 20 years to part ways with the Jeremiah Wright church. If a truly capable thinking person had been exposed to such a message of hate for only a short time, it would seem that they would have parted company with the messenger much more quickly. Perhaps Obama is a truly slow learner. This thought seems even more logical after listening to him speak without the benefit of a teleprompter: Truly and sadly pitiful!

Linden's Life
Most of the rest of Monday did not measure up to the sheer joy of sampling some more of the Pecan Kringle that Katia had blessed me with. Exceptions would be having lunch with Julie and holding five week old Jade for a few minutes. What gloom there was in the day was furnished by the knowledge that this was the anniversary of Rubye's death five years ago. Sometimes it seems like it was a long time ago and other times it seems much more recent. Wonderful woman!
