Little known movies to rent from Netflix and books to check out;
"In the Loop" is a funny and insightful look at State Department and Downing Street politics. It is biting satire both funny and pathetic, in the sense that the most complex and terrible things are built upon such simple human behavior...and media sound bites. You have to see it to believe it. It's a less sinister "Wag the Dog" story but perhaps even more true.
"The Lacuna" is one of those books you will not be able to put down once involved. If you didn't live through the 40's and 50's then you don't know that it was far from the "simple time" it is often described as by those who don't remember or know about the horrors of the HUAC days. (House Un-American Activities Committee). This is a work of historical fiction by Barbara Kingsolver who is a writer of extraordinary talent. What a job she has done in capturing the times and the people. This is a book full of political, philosophical, historical, and psychological ideas. Worth your time for sure!

A Story
Jim Bracewell has a Men's web site at;
http://www.themenscenter.com
Click in today. AND! He has been kind enough to set up a site there for writings by some "Coyote" guy. Check it out....www.themenscenter.com/coyote/ NOTE! Attempts for White Water Adventure 2010. OK, here's the news on this: a 5 day trip through Cataract Canyon (that's the Colorado/Green through Canyonlands)....this place is seldom visited and has marvelous ruins and magical history) cost for the trip itself is about $1500. There are "add ons", motel, food on the road, etc (they feed us on the river. This is a "mixed trip", meaning both motor and paddle and we need a group of no less than 10 to do it. We have five "interested-but-not-committed so far. August, September, or early October is what were looking at. See our White Water page for details of the two trips we've done in the past and will continue to do with you.
NOTE #2: We are going give up on the Grand Canyon trip just 'cause we've had enough anxiety producing "adventures" for this life time and GC IS a tough journey. Very! I urge you to plan to do this trip at least once in your life. As for us, we're going to focus on the more easy going Green River.
This trip is both ceremonial and a personal growth undertaking. We will be doing workshops and ceremony on the river so it's not just sight seeing.
And NOTE #3; don't let the "motor" part put you off, it's not all motor all the time and it's not a speed boat trip. We have two interested at this point.
Lots of people want to do this but so far we don't have enough to really get it going. If you are interested, call and we'll start connecting people up so we can actually form a group to make it happen, or, maybe you can do all the "connecting up". Let us know. c
Notable Quotes (or Quotable notes)
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, born in Hyde Park, New York (1882) said, "Human kindness has never weakened the stamina or softened the fiber of a free people. A nation does not have to be cruel to be tough."
"To see a world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour." William Blake
"In my soul rages a battle without victor. Between faith without proof and reason without charm." Sully Prudhomme
G. B. Shaw said; "Do not try to live for ever. You will not succeed."
and...."What is life but a series of inspired follies? The difficulty is to find them to do. Never lose a chance: it doesn't come every day. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. Life is no 'brief candle' for me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations."
"Verifiable knowledge makes it s way slowly, and only under cultivation. But fable has burrs and feet and claws and wings and an indestructible sheath like a weed-seed, and can be carried almost anywhere and take root without benefit of soil or water." Wallace Stegner
