|Technology has made our lives and our jobs easier and has redefined what it means to be a health care organization. Unfortunately, the downside to technological wonders like robotic surgeries, electronic medical records, tele-appointments and other advances is that the human element is sometimes replaced with technology.In an industry that requires the trust and comfort of those it helps, this can pose a significant obstacle in offering satisfactory care across all service lines; sometimes patients simply desire face time with doctors, a personal phone call, someone to hold their hand throughout a difficult procedure. Many hospitals are finding that the solution to this obstacle is to put purposeful effort into merging high-tech with high-touch approaches to offer exceptional yet cost-effective care.
Take the Family Practice Centre of Integrative Health and Healing (FPCIHH) in Burlington, Ontario, for instance. Its soothing décor includes lush plants and a water wall feature, and it plays calming music to help nervous patients relax. FPCIHH's inter-disciplinary team of health care professionals make sure to take the time to get to know their patients, and build ongoing relationships focused on healing the whole person. The centre's founder, Dr. Esther Konigsberg, reports that this integrated, high-touch approach has resulted in better, more comprehensive care and satisfied patients who appreciate the extra attention.
Perhaps your health care organization is light years away from being able to offer this kind of care. But that doesn't mean you can't take efforts to find the balance between high-tech and high-touch right now. Consider a few easy ways to integrate this concept today:
At the end of the day, health care doesn't have to be high-tech or high-touch—it can be both. Following this trend offers patients a comforting environment that will no doubt match the exceptional care your organization is already providing.

Friday night and I am uploading pictures of myself. Hmmm, I get I am very serious about my diet. When I was in H.S. I weighed about 130 pounds and about my sophomore year of college I was up to 205 pounds. The notion of being huge was always one of my goals, but now after years of being a bit on the heavier side I am through with gaining mass. Alas, my goal is to reach 6-8% bodyfat. I play lots of sports and have realized that it is better to be strong, quick, and in my opinion lean. This is a older before pic, but I think it will do the trick. This diet was started on May 19, 2008, I will follow up this blog on June 30, 2008. This post is part I. Dieting has become a more normal thing with each day that passes. Other than mood swings and a few cravings here and there, I feel leaner.
Moreover, I have been following the advice of 2 individuals, Tim Ferriss has some awesome suggestions on his site, and my best friend Stan Newton. Cheers to living leaner and I am looking forward to my cheat day, aka calorie freeforall.

"Parting Words (Drive Shaft)" is a piece on the Season 6 soundtrack. It is the full version of the song heard playing by Daniel Widmore and Drive Shaft during "The End".
Parts of the song can be heard in "The End", but it cannot be identified as a variation of "Parting Words" from the episode, as the tunes differ slightly.
Scene description
Daniel Widmore and Drive Shaft play a rock/classical fusion song during the concert. Charlie stops playing when he catches sight of Claire.
Later on, Eloise sits by Desmond. She scolds him for his mission, but he refuses to accept her criticism. She finally asks whether he plans to take her son with him when he's ready to move on. Desmond says he won't.
The entire piece is a rock/piano variation of "Parting Words". Like several variations, it uses some rhythms from "The Gathering".

A recent trip to the UK got me thinking how I could forward calls from my US office number directly to a UK mobile phone.
I discovered LocalPhone.
Localphone allows you setup "local" phone numbers for any "international" phone number you want to call. The calling rates are typically 0.9c per minute.
For example, say I am in Denver and I want to call my UK office regularly, then I add my UK office number to my contact list. Then
Localphone gives me a local 303 area code number to dial. My local call is free, and I only pay LocalPhone for the minutes I use.
If I then travel to the UK and want to call my US numbers, all I do is change my 'location' and then LocalPhone gives me a local number for all my US contacts!
I have to register any numbers I am "calling in" with, which ensures that only "I" use my service so that its not possible for anyone else to call these numbers and use my account. But you may add many numbers to your 'authorized ' list of numbers.
When I went to the UK, I used Localphone to forward all my office calls to a UK mobile mobile number - so it was easy for me to stay in touch!
Now that I am back in Denver, I have just set up my family and other contacts around the world with a local number to call us.
LocalPhone doesn't seem appropriate if you make a large number of calls to different numbers, but if you make international calls to a small number of contacts regularly, then LocalPhone is a brilliant service.

Class B hockey: Martin, McCann spark York to victory
...Junior forward Spencer Pickett added a goal and three assists, as York (3-1) has scored 20 goals in its three straight wins following a season-opening 3-0 loss to Class A Biddeford.
"We need to start playing like how we finish. If we find another gear early in the game and continue it throughout; that will really help us," Martin said. "After the Yarmouth game where we didn't score in the first and scored four in the second, we realize that we have to bring more energy earlier in the game, so that's a focus point."
Cameron Roy netted the game's first goal for the MOB (1-3) on a power play with 4:46 left in the first period, but McCann banked in a rebound of Pickett's shot past MOB goalie Gavin Corey (22 saves) with 28 seconds left in the first. York was called for three penalties in the period and totaled eight.
"Penalties got us in the hole early and we were lucky to get out of the first period at 1-1," York coach Jim Powers said. "We did some things in the second we've been working on in practice and it changed the whole tenor of the game and it really turned it around."

Cool Videos: Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg make a short about a Walmart receipt
Finally! Something good has come from Walmart! The chain of stores gave Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg a receipt with 6 items on it and asked them to tell a story using them any way they wanted. What you'll find is something you probably wouldn't expect from the duo who brought us THIS IS THE END and THE INTERVIEW, but is entertaining none-the-less. So if you're feeling in the mood for a bit of a song and dance, enjoy BANANAS TOWN! Here's hoping the two inject this kind of creativity into their next feature!

The magic number is 31. That's how many 747s delivered back in 2001, and is the highest delivery total for a year in the 21st century. I'm hoping this year Boeing can beat it. So far, 25 frames have delivered in 2012. We need 7 more to beat the post year 2000 record.
Here's what I know is delivering before the end of 2012:
1.) Line 1465 for Cargolux.
2.) Line 1466 for Boeing Business Jets.
3.) Line 1467 for Atlas.
Here's what I think is delivering before the end of 2012:
4.) Line 1420 for Cargolux.
5.) Line 1468 for Boeing Business Jets.
That leaves two. Possibilities are:
Line 1422 for NCA.
Line 1430 for ABC.
Line 1463 for ABC.
Line 1469 for NCA.
I'm pretty sure at least one each will deliver for NCA and ABC, which would give us 32, and the new record. Cross your fingers! This is probably the last chance, as they only produce 23-24 747 frames a year maximum right now (and demand isn't going to up that rate unless something crazy happens), and they'd only have 6 or 7 surplus frames to add to that total next year.
It looks like they're doing some serious work on line 1435's tail, the second 8I test frame destined for Lufthansa. I read somewhere that delivery of this frame has been pushed back to 2015! Wonder what's up with that...

Andy Peaks was able to reflect on a positive seven days for AFC Rushden & Diamonds after they twice came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw with Basford United at the Dog & Duck.
On what proved to be a successful Community Day for the club, a crowd of nearly 700 were on hand to see Nabil Shariff's penalty and Tom Lorraine's header secure a share of the spoils after Cory Grantham had twice given Basford the lead.
The point made it seven from nine in the space of the week after Diamonds had secured victories over Sheffield FC and Belper Town.
Peaks' team are now on an unbeaten run of five matches in all competitions and haven't lost in eight in the Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One South.
And while he felt they possibly could have taken more yesterday (Saturday), the Diamonds boss was content with his team's efforts over the week.
"I was pleased to get a point because we were still trailing with less than 20 minutes to go," Peaks said.
"Overall though, I felt we should have won the game.
"But they are a decent side who are up there and I am realistic enough to know that you simply won't win every game.
"We will take the point. It keeps the momentum going and we have gained a positive result despite perhaps not being at our best.
"Overall, I am happy with seven points from the nine available.
"Once you get six on the board from two games, you tend to get a bit greedy. But we are happy to take that point and move on."
Peaks, meanwhile, believes Diamonds' injury problems are starting to show signs of "clearing up".
The manager revealed both Lewis Leslie and Richard Bunting "aren't far away" from being fit while summer signing Joe Curtis was among the substitutes on Saturday having missed all of the season so far.

Going with his original 3-4-1-2 Dutch setup, Louis Van Gaal's Manchester United was clearly still getting used to the new formation against a Welsh team that pressed. In the second half United switched to a 4-4-1-1 formation. but Swansea manager Garry Monk had his team well prepared for the changed as was evidenced by the amount of room Swansea utilized on the pitch. United had more of the possession but ran out of time to do anything with it.
Player ratings:
Manchester United
David De Gea — 4/5
The two goals conceded by United were not so much the fault of De Gea, but more so a result of poor defending and giving Swansea too much time and space.
Tyler Beckett — 3.5/5
Regardless of what you might think about youth player debuts, the only way you'll learn is through experience. Beckett has a big responsibility filling in for a position that was commanded by the like of Patrice Evra. However, it was clearly evident from today's performance that United do need an experienced center back or two at the defensive helm if they are to improve at all this season.
Chris Smalling — 4/5
Smalling's successful clearances and timely tackles held the defense together. Also the communication between Beckett, Phil Jones and he was good to see.
Phil Jones — 4.5/5
Despite the defeat, Phil Jones put in a man of the match performance. He made several important tackles and clearances that otherwise would have inflicted United with further damage.
Jesse Lingard — 4/5
If we continue to see anything like what we saw in the first twenty five minutes, he definitely has a bright future ahead of him. Lingard was substituted after picking up a knock.
Darren Fletcher — 4/5
Fletcher put in a typically solid game.
Ander Herrera — 4/5
The new boy from Bilbao really had a good showing at midfield. He opened up some chances for United and got some important passes up front through to Mata, Rooney and Chicharito.
Ashley Young — 3/5
Young was ineffective today. He made far too few attacking runs at the Swansea defense, and resorted to passes to defenders or midfielders far too often.
Javier Hernandez — 3/5
Hernandez had a quiet afternoon, for the most part, and didn't show enough to convince United to keep the footballer.
Juan Mata — 3/5
Mata was responsible for not tracking back when marking Ki Sung-Yueng, which led to Swansea's first goal.

Women, Gibberish, and Prom Dresses
The basement of Manhattan's Cornelia Street Café is a long, narrow space with colored lights dangling from the low ceiling: you feel as though you're in a root cellar with red banquettes. It certainly made for a cozy setting on August 10, when a cadre of female poets wrapped up the Finally with Women marathon with a reading of Gertrude Stein's History or Messages from History. Given the feminist tilt of the festival—which had celebrated Mina Loy, Audre Lorde, Barbara Guest, and Muriel Rukeyser on previous nights—I wondered whether many guys would be in attendance. There were a few, I'm happy to report, including one compulsive shutterbug who observed most of the proceedings through the viewfinder of his digital camera.
And what was he observing? Eight poets eventually made their way up the aisle and took their places on the tiny stage: Amy Lawless, Angela Veronica Wong, Corrine Fitzpatrick, Erica Kaufman, Jen Benka, Meghan Punschke, Sina Queyras, and Stacy Szymaszek. There was a short salvo of recorded music—mostly to silence the chattering audience—and then the readers launched into the play.
Stein wrote this cryptic, singsong piece in 1930. There's no discernible plot, no clearly delineated characters. It's more like a whimsical cantata, with multiple voices answering and overlapping each other. The nonsense quotient is fairly high—many passages sound as if they've been run through a Cuisinart—and even the simplest sentences almost dare you to parse them: "A little chicken is not little." "Houses are multiplied with a hailstorm." "Money is a flower." (Compared to most of the play, that last line is straight out of Keats, but Stein is careful to thumb her nose at old-fashioned symbolism along the way. A dollar is a dollar is a dollar.)
At first, the whole thing sounds pretty opaque. Yet there is a method, or at least a polemical thrust, to the author's madness. "There are two things that are interesting," we're told at one point. "History and grammar." For Stein, clearly, traditional syntax is too creaky a vessel to capture the flux of modern life. To give an honest account of events, you need to break down your sentences into their Cubist constituents, then reassemble them as nursery rhymes.
As Stein admits, however, this can be an awfully hermetic procedure: "History is the learning of spectacular / consistency privately and learning it alone. . . ." At Cornelia Street, the audience slumped over its drinks for the first 10 minutes and waited for a shaft of clarity. Finally, a ripple of laughter greeted one of Stein's poker-faced quips ("Nuns are made in their own image"), and the performers loosened up. Fitzpatrick, wearing what looked like a prom dress, put an agreeable spin on her lines. Punschke gave the most eloquent readings, even as the other performers kept drifting to the back of the stage for a pull on the Poland Spring bottle. The gibberish drove the audience away; the comedy reeled them back in. And the readers, who had done a noble job with relatively little rehearsal, managed to finish on a nice clean unison: "Finally, with women!"

I wonder if it is partly because of the devaluation of tradeschool types of stuff. I mean... I don't know many people who are capable of doing things... Competent plumbers or electritions or whatever. People who have the skill and expertise to get things done.
I know a bunch of people who will happily shuffle numbers or words about on a page...
It seems all the money goes to the latter and none of the former gets done, anymore.

this is love
And they pop this cute little info sheet in with your purchase to tell you about bison's origins and how to care for your bison piece. Also repeated here. If you want to be tempted by more beautiful bison ceramics look here. The truth about my own bison cup (pictured above) is I bought it to give to a friend for her birthday. But as I said, I'm having an affair with bison, and I couldn't bear to part with my little piece. How terrible is that?

I know exactly what your going through!ReplyDelete
Bison bowels are so beautiful. Not only there touch, which is so strangely smooth and soft, but also there not 100% perfect shape gives them a feeling of complete uniqueness and there colours...!
My brother and sister in law gave me 5 bison bowels (for a wedding present)when I was in Newcastle last November. As I live in Spain I thought they were crazy! but I bubble wrapped them and put them in the hand luggage and now have them here with me. They're super lovely!
Well, I'm glad someone else gets my love of bison! I'll definitely be going back for more :) Lucky you Olivia - great wedding gift!ReplyDelete
I know that store. I am too scared to walk in in case I knock a whole shelf of display to the ground. I have peered from the outside in that nose stuck to the glass kind of way.ReplyDelete
Very nice indeed! Beautiful color.ReplyDelete
I love Bison too. The pieces just beg to be cradled in your hands. And the colours... don't get me started! I would have kept it too!ReplyDelete
wow. being from the otherside of the earth, i've never heard of Bison - but they certainly are beautiful! i love to think about all the regionally successful items that exist all around the world - those that are coveted by the people in the region but are unknown to the rest of the world. imagine what online shopping will do for them!?!? fascinating!ReplyDelete

Celebrating Women in our Families – International Women's Day (American University in Dubai)
Writing history – and defining our identity, individually and collectively – is linked to memory and memorialization, which never seem to be complete. Someone is always forgotten.

Where in North America is Uncle Rod? Day 13
June 26, 2009
5 Islands, Nova Scotia
275 miles (3,051)
Fuel: 24 dollars CDN
Garlic Pizza: 6 dollars CDN
Husband/Wife duo: 2 dollars CDN
Tent site: 21 dollars CDN
Campfire: 4 dollars CDN
Fireflies more numerous than mosquitoes: free
Clear sky sunset/crescent moon over the Bay of Fundy: Priceless
I arrived at my destination at about 6 pm. I was told by a police woman at my last fuel stop that there were a few really nice restaurants down the "mountain" from my campsite, so when I got here, I went into town to scope out the environment before I set up camp. Aha! I found Mo's Café in "downtown 5 Islands," so after I set up camp, I set off for a bite and some internet. I unloaded my bike when I set up camp, and showed up at Mo's without my computer charger. I texted Allison via the internet, and posted a couple of yesterday's photos before my battery went dead and packed up my tank bag to leave. When I bussed my table and went inside the café, the music was beginning. I couldn't leave. My friend, Beth, an avid Celtic music fan and gifted musician, upon hearing I was headed to Cape Breton implored me to find some music. I thought that might be nearly impossible on a bike, camping, in this weather. But it looked like it was to come to pass.
There was a husband/wife duo just starting. Lots of folks were milling around, and everyone was interested in everyone else. Conversation was easy, and the music was so good that conversation waned and listening commenced.
I learned that this café had just opened last week. It is owned by a man from California (sitting in the corner) who had bought one of the 5 islands on a whim, site unseen, and after coming to see his purchase, had also bought and renovated this building and opened this amazing café. This was the second night of music he'd had.
As I listened to the music and watched two little toddlers constantly getting into trouble, I shed a tear, and then another, and soon they wouldn't stop. The music was amazing. It ripped straight through to the soul and touched the deep places. I stood against a beam and sipped several cups of coffee, and quietly listened. My iPod hasn't been turned on, or even taken out of the bag during the whole trip. There is always music playing in my head, and I've heard some fairly melodic feathered friends' serenades, but tonight is the only music I've heard outside of Jim's and Catherine's living room since I drifted off to the strains of Federico Moreno Torroba under the stars in Ithaca. I stand there thinking about a time when real live people presented the only music available, and marveled at the community made easy by these deep songs sung from deep places. I hope I happen upon more people sharing their songs before I make it home again.
When the sun started setting, I realized it was time to make it back to camp, and so I rode up the "mountain," started a fire and settled into a mood of gratitude.
Today was a good day. I can almost say, it was my first day in 13 without rain, but alas, I got rained on a little bit, so make that 13 days with rain. But this was not like the other rain days. This rain was just intermittent when the clouds became too thick to contain themselves. Then I would ride out of it, into lighter clouds. The sky is cloudy tonight, but oddly enough, the baby moon is shining hazily through a foggy break in the clouds.
It is 10:46 pm, and the sunset colors have not completely faded. That is strange for me. Sunset colors at nearly 11:00pm?
This morning, I couldn't bear to ride back from Cape Breton Island exactly the way I'd come, so I headed east to Sydney, and rode west from there along the other side of Bras d'Or. Once I reached the Canso Causeway, I had no choice but to backtrack, but only for about 50 miles. The last 50 miles of the day were along, and in sight of, the Bay of Fundy, to this Provincial Park.
The ride was a good mixture of back roads and highway to make up time, so I arrived in early evening and had time to think, have some coffee, and listen to music.
So, at this moment, I'm sitting by my fire, watching the lingering sunset colors, and the moon, reluctant to set, reflecting in the Bay Fundy.
My heart is grateful.

(Addendum: a point several have missed in this article is that it is not a critique of how all anti-fundamentalist type parents raise their kids. I am an unfundamentalist parent, and proudly so. This is a self-critique of my own parenting that I came to see through honest conversations with other parents like myself– other parents who admit this same blind spot– and an attempt to point out that some times we can push back so hard against the rigidness of our fundamentalist experience, that we accidentally go too far in the other direction. Our particular mistakes in parenting are obviously not indicative of all progressive or unfundamentalist type parents.)
I make my living as a progressive who writes about life after leaving fundamentalism, and I have an observation: We as progressives often raise our kids in such a way that they will gravitate towards, and even crave fundamentalism.
If you hang out with a group of fundamentalist for very long, you'll notice an interesting thing– a large portion of them were not raised in it. I was actually one of them.
While I am a "formerly fundie," the vast majority of my childhood was not spent in Christian fundamentalism. My early years were spent attending a small community church in rural Maine, and while they were certainly conservative, they were not fundamentalists. My parents were Christians, but only nominally. After they divorced, when I was seven, church attendance wasn't a regular event for any of us.
The rest of my childhood? Well, I've often described my childhood after seven as "unparented." I was allowed to choose which parent I lived with whenever I wanted to, and I did exactly that– changing my mind constantly and bouncing back and forth between cities and schools, from parents to even grandparents at a whim. The adults in my life gave me room and board, but I don't really have many memories of actually being parented– certainly not in the way I needed to be.
It wasn't until I was 14 or 15 that I stumbled upon Christian Fundamentalism all on my own– and I was soon hooked on it.
Yet, the fact that I was a child who, all on his own, became a fundamentalist Christian had almost nothing to do with what fundamentalists believed. Part of me knew from day one that some of it was obnoxious bullshit. But I now know in hindsight, that fundamentalism filled a much deeper, much more primitive need: it gave me the structure, boundaries, and consequences that I needed to feel safe in the world.
Fundamentalism was the first time that anyone said, "You can go all the way to here, but you're not allowed to go beyond here."
No one had ever told me that. The closest I can remember is one time when my grandmother told me, "If you were my son, you wouldn't be going out this weekend." I said, "Thankfully, I'm not" and walked out the door.
But other than that? I pretty much got away with whatever I wanted to do– until fundamentalism. Fundamentalism finally gave me boundaries.
And you know what? It felt freakin' safe. So good. Like being wrapped in a warm blanket, and having a solid shelter put over your head. It felt like the best thing to ever happen to me.
Unfortunately, because I did not get that from my caregivers growing up, I sought it out in less-than-great ways, thus fundamentalism.
(Oh, and then there's the whole decade spent in the military, which I joined for the same exact reasons.)
When you grow up with limited structure, fluid boundaries, and without consistent and predicable consequences, it can become a need that we seek out subconsciously in whatever ways we can. Sometimes we do it in healthy ways, but often we don't.
And this is where I fear that we as progressives are often raising kids who will not just gravitate towards things like fundamentalism, but raising kids who might actually need it, thrive in it, and pass it along to their kids: We're afraid to give our kids structure, boundaries, and to see through consistent and predicable consequences when those boundaries are crossed. And this is either setting them up for life-failure, or to fill that need in unhealthy ways, like fundamentalism.
A case in point: A friend of mine recently keyed me in to an episode of the Simpsons where the background of Ned Flanders, the structure and boundary loving Christian on the show, is explained. While viewers may have assumed he was raised in conservative religion, it was the opposite that turned out to be true: He grew up with progressive parents who didn't give him any boundaries or consequences, and this led him to seek it out in high-structure, conservative religion.
One would think that after growing up unparented and realizing that having structure and enforced boundaries in life make kids feel safe, that I would have my shit together as a parent– but I don't.
I was confronted with this fact by my then 14-year-old daughter several months ago, and it was a hard moment for me. She had been refusing her scheduled time to be with me on the weekends, and while I knew there were a variety of reasons, she repeatedly said she wasn't ready to express it to me yet– more than once saying she was afraid that after she told me, that I wouldn't do anything about it. It was a hard season for me, but she eventually opened up and talked to me about it. However, what she said made my heart sink, and wasn't even close to what I thought she was going to say.
When the moment came she pushed through tears of frustration and noticeable fear that I wouldn't hear what she was saying: "I don't feel safe at your house, Dad."
I wanted to die inside when I heard those words. My number one job as a parent is to keep my kids safe, so unsafe is the last thing I wanted her to feel. In fact, on the day I met her at a Peruvian orphanage, the first thing she did was jump into my arms, grabbed my biceps, and asked me if I was strong. Feeling safe, right from our first moment as father and daughter, was critical for her– so the idea that I now felt unsafe, was gut-wrenching.
"Why don't you feel safe with me?" I asked her hesitantly.
"Do you really want to know why?? It's because you're not strict enough with me and I can do whatever I want. I never get consequences and that doesn't feel safe to me!" She responded with frustration and tears.
"Oh, shit… I know exactly what that feels like." I thought to myself.
In that moment I realized I was becoming the very thing I hated, the very thing that was so detrimental to my own childhood: A parent who was afraid to give my kid structure, stability, and boundaries she was not allowed to cross.
And you know what? I don't think I'm alone. I think a lot of us as progressive, unfundamentalists parents, unintentionally do the same thing. Sadly, our kids are actually paying the price for it, and they'll continue to pay the price for it into adulthood.
I mean, the entire effing world functions this way, so why would we not help our kids to learn and navigate that, right now? Society has structure and boundaries, and there are authorities who will administer consequences when those are violated. Nearly every job they'll ever have will be one where there are clear boundaries. And what do you know? Yup, there are consequences when you stick even one toe beyond the boundary.
Like it or not, when we launch our kids into adulthood, we're sending them into a world of structure, boundaries, and consequences– consequences that can be permanently life-altering, such as losing a job or getting in trouble with the law. They are not briefly unpleasant or temporarily painful consequences that are over and done with in two minutes or two days, but are consequences for poor or impulsive choices that can follow them around for a lifetime.
We are faced with the decision as to whether or not we're going to help our kids get used to that system now, or if we're going to wait and just let it smack them in the face as a brutal welcome to adulthood– but those are the only two options we have.
For far too many of us progressives– myself damningly included– we are more concerned with our kids approving of us, being happy with us, not getting upset or temporarily withdrawing from us, more concerned with their temporary happiness and comfort, than we are committed to the thing that not only makes them feel safe, but that also trains and prepares them for how the world functions. And if I get really honest with myself, the reality is that I deprived my daughter with a core need, not so much because I am unwilling for her to experience the temporary discomfort of enforcing boundaries and consequences, but because I was trying to avoid my own discomfort from having to give them.
For those of us who identify as progressive, unfundamentalist type parents, but who also– like me– have gone too far in the other direction, we have to contend with this. If we do not squarely face and self-correct our unintentional failure in this area, our kids will pay for our mistake– with a lack of safety and security now, and with horrible outcomes later. Some of them will launch into adulthood with a fizzle. Some will flounder. Some will fail spectacularly. Some will find themselves in a world of destruction for not staying within the boundaries that are all around us. And sadly, some will not complete a natural life span, since some consequences cannot be undone.
And those who don't? Well– they might be like me or Ned Flanders, and will find themselves gravitating towards and needing high-structure, toxically conservative religion, because it will give them the safety and boundaries they didn't have growing up, and who need that in adulthood to navigate the world well.
The difficult truth is, those who end up in fundamentalism may be the lucky ones.
I don't know about you, but while I remain one of the most liberal, anti-fundamentalist people you'll ever know, I'm going to dry my daughter's tears and tell her she's safe now, because her world with me moving forward is going to have appropriate structure, boundaries, and consequences.
Just like the real world.

I spent the day going back and forth to the DMV trying to renew my license that had been expired for about a month now.
What a change 5 years makes!!
Once I finally got that taken care of, it was time for me to make my way to Evansville. I got home and talked to mom for a while then met up with some friends for dinner at Cheeseburger in Paradise. Then I made an ice cream run and went to hang out with my sister for a while.
Choco cremes....my weakness!! Good thing we don't have a Lic's around here!
We all got up early and got ready to head to Holiday World. It was rainy and cold....not a normal July day at all!! We made the best of it though, and once the rain cleared and the sun came out it was perfect!!
Us waiting to ride the Legend roller coaster
After holiday world we went to our friends house for a Murray friends get together. We were way late but we still got to see most of the people and hang out for a while. It ended up getting pretty cool that night, so they lit the fire pit and we huddled around in hoodies and had s'mores!
After eating way too many donuts that Mom made, we all packed up and headed back to our different states. I kept thinking I was on call that night but wasn't so I cleaned and unpacked my stuff and got everything ready for the work week.
