love receiving even a single pink rose? The majority of the ...

Bowling with our Own
Robert Putnam's sobering new diversity research scares its author
Harvard political scientist Robert Putnam, author of Bowling Alone, is very nervous about releasing his new research, and understandably so.

The Best Christmas Gift You Can Give Yourself or Anyone Else:
I had to laugh when I read that quote recently. I particularly
remember a time in my merry life when I had two sons, 3 dogs, my
clothes filled two closets in my home, I owned Madeleine pans,
exotic juicers, a regular and a gourmet coffeemaker, 3 sets of
flatware, 10 tableclothes, 10 sets of placemats for 6 or 8, and
formal china tablesettings for 12 ' and most 'cluttering' of
all, a social calendar that was unmanageable.
Life is a series of stages, and there is the 'acquiring' stage.
However, ...

Organize For More Leisure
Who has not had their time and energy consumed by an
organization or club? Let's face it; many organizations are
geared toward consuming every available hour that a person has
to offer. Many organizations I encounter, from
churches/religious groups, to charitable organizations, to
volunteer groups, to clubs, most are kept running by a small

who work tirelessly to keep it going.
Observe most of the groups to which you belong and you ...
