Osama Bin Laden

"The impulse to celebrate a death depends on what side you're on."  

The Psychology of Revenge: Why We Should Stop Celebrating Osama Bin Laden's Death

by Pamela Gerloff, The Huffington Post
I couldn't have said it better myself.  I agree with this author, "Celebrating the killing of any member of our species--for example, by chanting USA! USA! and singing The Star Spangled Banner outside the White House or jubilantly demonstrating in the streets--is a violation of human dignity. Regardless of the perceived degree of "good" or "evil" in any of us, we are all, each of us, human. To celebrate the killing of a life, any life, is a failure to honor life's inherent sanctity"

"I've never wished a man dead, but I have read some obituaries with great pleasure."
supposedly Mark Twain, but I don't know if he really said it. Enough said really.  Time to move forward and face what comes next.

There has been a delay in posts due to the fact that I've been stuck driving my kids all over town!   Swim team overlapps with soccer season, and I found myself going all over tarnation to pick up soccer shoes and a t-shirt before swim team ended and then actually get to the soccer fields just 15 mins after swim team ended.

confusing, I know...we were 10 mins late.

My crochet project has gone well, but I haven't taken a photo yet-I know, slow poke.  But lets face it, there is no one out there yet reading any of this.

oh and today I participated in National Woman's Build Week.  We had a ton of fun putting siding on a house in our area, and lugging some of the lumber from trucks to backyard.  I might have pictures later.
