Where I Spent Last Week

Northern Minnesota. No computers, no phones or TV. No blogs. Didn't even listen to the radio. No politics. What a relief. We split firewood and hunted grouse during the day. In the evening we sat around a fire, cooked dinner and sampled fine scotch.

One Republican, one Independent, and one Democrat. No politics were spoken, no debates or tired rhetoric.

I wish more than one week a year could be spent this way. I wish more people would spend time this way. The world would be a better place, no matter who sits in the oval office.

Now it's back to the "real" world. Jobs to be done, wages to be earned, votes to be cast, taxes to be paid.
