Back on Unemployment

Okay I don't really want to get off onto some politcal rant and it doesn't take an expert to see that many of us are eperiencing economic difficulties.

Today I called up the unemployment folks after running out of work again. But I wanted to say this today:

Thanks to all you government worker grunts out there who are doing your job! I spoke with a couple of folks today after being on hold for a very long time and they were just as pleasant and marevlous to talk to as could be. They were very helpful, very patient and very understanding. They answered all of my questions and helped me out in every way that they could.

I really would find myself utterly ungrateful if I didn't send out a great big public pat on the back.

Dragons

Call it a flight of fancy, call it a fascination, but I do really enjoy the thought of dragons. I enjoy the idea that a creature, majestic, intelligent, powerful, almost immortal could dwell here on this planet with us.

Few other creatures in literature captivate the mind so fully as do the thoughts of dragons. I know that I have written at some length on other blogs about them, even going so far as to write stories.

These days in our largely corporate existence it is difficult to allow the imagination time to escape into other realms where fancies like dragons could exist.
We spend out days pursuing the same wealth that dragons are fabled to have horded and battling against challenges that can seem as overwhelming as staring down the fiery breath of a dragon.

Do you dream of dragons? What dragons do you face?
