Free Range Strawberries

Our modest strawberry patch is prolific this year with the sweetest, juiciest, most flavorful strawberries I can remember. We started enjoying them a little over a week ago but these past few days they have really been putting on a show.  We gather a "mess" of fresh berries almost every evening.  We can not possibly eat them all and we have given some away. Usually the deer get ours before we have a chance to enjoy them but not this year for some unknown reason.  Jennifer says we have had strawberries this good once before back when we first built our house.  But that is beyond my ability to recall.  Regardless, it is a wonderful treat to have something so delicious and good for you and so fresh awaiting every day when you get home. Another simple wonder of country life.

Lady Chatterley's Lover: An Intensely Sexy Read

Warning: The following post contains adult content .  You can not really discuss this novel without talking dirty. There are some smutty adult words here, all quoted from the novel reviewed. Read them responsibly. Long-time readers know that I try to maintain a certain health regime and lifestyle. Part of that is regular sex. There are numerous studies that indicate the health benefits of sex , the benefits to relationships, and to piece of mind. No need to revisit all that here other than to say that after practicing this for many years, I have discovered that in my mid-50's I am a more erotic person than I was as a college student or when I first married. The erotic is an accentuated part of my life. It inspires, motivates, entertains, and brings fulfillment. It can be a strong thread tying otherwise loose ends of life together in a holistic fashion. For years I have read erotic novels and watched erotic films (both pornographic and artsy). As you know I also enjoy read

A Summary of Money, Power, and Wall Street

For a long time I have admired the PBS series Frontline for its outstanding reporting.  On May 1, the program aired the second-half of a huge four-hour documentary on the origins the Great Recession entitled Money, Power, and Wall Street .  The situation obsessed me and my blog posts back in 2008 – 2009.  Economically, nothing compares to it in my lifetime.  In this post I will attempt to summarize this superb four-part Frontline . Wall Street is the largest sector of the American economy.  It is almost double the size of America's manufacturing sector.  Ultimately, the 2008 financial crisis and resulting Great Recession cost the world economy $11 trillion dollars.  This is how it happened. It all started at a ritzy weekend resort in Boca Raton, FL in 1994.  A group of young bankers from JPMorgan , were celebrating the success of the company's derivative portfolios.  Young, very bright minds, partying a bit and meeting in small conference rooms hatched a new idea . These

Obama and Ahmadinejad

They are building a uranium enrichment nuclear reactor in Iran that can ultimately power a nuclear warhead . Only they forgot to tell the rest of the world . The Ayatollah has told Ahmadinejad to say this is no violation . The puppet president complies. The real power in Iran obviously prefers the focus be on the recent unrest due to his nation's presidential election , but Obama has outplayed him . Even though the Iranian president says it would be a mistake to think they have not complied with all international bodies of law, Obama has placed Iran in a political position where they must now allow inspectors to examine the site in question or face economic sanctions by the international community. For now, Obama has forced Iran's hand . Typically, and without any sensitivity to their situation, Iran remains defiant . Ahmadinejad looks increasingly foolish . According to David Albright , president of the Institute for Science and International Security : "Iran has said
