Jodi, they'll probably develop that technology in a few years, but I guess it's better for us to have to deal with reality in its slowww process.

Patti, always good to hear from you; yes, having Victoria here is a treat.

Anna, I love your question. :o) Thanks for the correction; the pic's title did say Holland, but I like that it was in Germany, since we saw so many spiffy generators like those on the left as we drove around. It's cool to have side by side the old and new versions of wind power.

I agree – I wish our society as a whole would be more accepting of human frailties and not see them as devaluing the whole person; can’t forgiveness ever mean being really forgiven?

Deep thoughts aside, I have one small correction – the photo is of a windmill in Germany! LOL – that was the day you didn’t come with us, when we tried to get to the Roman Baths museum. But this whole area used to belong to the Netherlands, so it’s “close enough”.

Nice post, Deanna. I enjoyed reading it. I’ve been very negligent about getting around the blogging world. I’m sure it’s nice to have Victoria back home.

I wish it’d be more like tv where we’d go, “wow, they’re definitely in charge, okay–now lets change the channel”

I know. I’m aware the politicians would get buried by the press for admitting weaknesses (at least they probably fear this is so). Once in a while, though…a real person would be something.

Oh the oopses! Yes, I have done many of those on Soren's hair, and of course, just in mothering in general.

I do wish politicians didn't try to look so polished all the time. I would be impressed with a candidate who said, "here are my weak points, and I need staff with strengths in this area to better serve the nation"

Perhaps Americans as a whole need to let go of our search for a knight in shinning armor, or a superman, and get more comfortable with real people.
