DISPLAYING LEADERSHIP
You would be slow indeed not to know that Linden believes that our half-white President is completely devoid of any of the qualities that define a true leader. Y’all elected an empty suit!

Linden has attended few of the May 500 mile races in Indianapolis since he was often assigned there during his work life. He often does listen to or watch the televised action at the track. This year, in the last minutes of attempting to qualify for the race, we saw a real display of leadership type decision making. Realize that the outcome of making such a decision may be either successful or not…it is the decision making that defines the leader.

Sarah Fisher, in these last qualifying minutes had to make the decision as to whether her back-up car would be withdrawn and attempt to re-qualify at a higher speed or should she just hope that the car would not be knocked from the field. She opted to try to withdraw and attempt to qualify at a higher speed…the car failed in this effort and in a matter of minutes her not well funded racing team lost probably a quarter million dollars. Linden admires her. Maybe there is just something about the name Sarah.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Attended the usual Thursday breakfast meeting with Bill, Chuck, Jack, and Paul. This is a most pleasant way to start a day! In the afternoon I stopped to shoot a few baskets at a portable goal that was in the parking lot and it had a couple of basketballs with it. I was a young 70 years old the last time I thought I would test my skills…broke a finger in the process. Later, I messed up my right arm enough that I couldn’t get the ball up to the rim and my vision went south too. Today was not impressive.
In an effort to straighten out a tax discrepancy, probably caused by me, I talked to a really nice person at the Dept. of Revenue. Later, Gail at the church office faxed some paperwork to them and I may soon be rich.
