READY, FIRE, AIM
Of course Linden wishes that he had thought of the title word sequence. He did not. It has been used by many others and probably nobody knows its originator.
At this time in our history it seems particularly fitting to use it in conjunction with writings about our Congress. Maybe even those who hold or will hold office in the same general area of inefficiency.
READY could be considered the flailing around in the initial “planning” and bill writing process as Congress and others attempt to address the economic problems which were primarily caused by a previous congressional malfunction.
FIRE then becomes the passing of the monstrosity of a bill and the signing of it into law.
AIM then becomes those who are affected by the law. This would include a probably huge number of non-producers; all current taxpayers; those who benefit from the expected large number of non-germane earmarks; our children; their children; following generations; those who will suffer if and when our currency is devalued and, undoubtedly, others.

LINDEN'S LIFE
The weather was yucky, the roads slick and it was another day for the continuing celebration of Linden’s birthday. This time it was a luncheon with Sam Friedman at The Milano Inn. Roughly 25 years ago, Julie and I, in the dog days of our life, went there for a special dinner. Sam admires Julie’s ability to verbally spear her father.

BIBLE STUDY
GENESIS 13:5 – 15:21
Abram and Lot separate, with Lot and his group moving near Sodom – a wicked city. Lot got caught up in a war involving a total of nine kings and he was captured. Abram rescued him. GOD told Abram that he will have many descendents, that they will be enslaved for 400 years and that they will then have possession of vast lands.
MATTHEW 5:27 – 48
Having previous spoken regarding murder, JESUS now speaks on adultery, divorce, oaths, and eye for an eye and love for enemies.
PSALM 6:1-10
PROVERBS 1:29-33

GIFT GIVING?
Any of Linden’s six books or his first CD could be what you are looking for: They are inexpensive and not everybody has one.
The CD “Songs A Poor Old Police Department Retiree Might Write While Waiting For His Meager Pension Check” features Linden’s original compositions. The book subject matter ranges from political through poetry, baseball, prayer, cryptograms and Linden’s pilgrimage in Spain at age 75.
