Whoa up here Bubba..............

Art and puzzled,

It would be really easy to get mauldlin here and look back at what little progress we did make, but we did make progress and folk was a part of it. Too many of us went on and said the hell with it, but some stuck with it and others like myself are back in the fray. The difference of maturity and experience dictate a more realistic involvement and goals. A good friend and Director of our Children's Services Agency, shares stories with me and I with him. Jim said that when he was 22 he thought he could save all the children in the world...and now he's happy with a few here and there. Sound bad...No, just realistic. And that's what we become. But without the idealism of youth, and the boundless energy, progress in social change slows down. So where are the flaming radicals today? Where are the youths with passion? I know there are some, but not enough.

I'm noways near done here...but I came tonight to be catspaw; for a little therapy and a few laughs. I want to come back and hit this...but not now. I sat and played for 2 hours tonight and I thought hard on the things that have happened and are happening to my family this week.=.Therapy Part I.......Mudcat visit as catspaw the litter spreader.=.Therapy Part II.

So I'm off for now flingin' litter as I go.....but I will be back a bit down the road to finish this.
