It is amazing to me what Martin Luther King dared in his life! I watched the PBS special on his last four years that aired Monday night, and was truly surprised to learn the many ways in which he took risks and was selflessly attempting to bring civil rights to ALL. Furthermore, he was more importantly a human rights advocate. Thus, he sought ways to end conflict and bring diverse peoples together and was not afraid to venture into unwelcome territory for those goals.
Once more our President squeaks by with accolades for many in the public who are satisfied with simplistic takes on our econony, the war, and huaman rights. It was notable that Kerry and Edwards remained in the news since their performances in Iowa were unexpected, and I believe, good news for Democrats. The State of the Union was therefore not the only news of the day, in spite of the Administration's attempt to draw attention away from Iowa results by having the President speak the day after.
We've found a new recipe for beef stew--in Cooking Light--that is even better than Mom Stoffels'. Also, a beef barbeque recipe that is lower fat than my favorite.
Martha Stewart is in court as they choose a jury. Cannot believe how the media picks up on non-related issues--such as her $12,000 Hermes bag that she carried into court with her. No one said she should pretend she's not rich.
Routines are amusing: Once a week, John and I gather our pill box and the individual pill boxes that we use each day to fill them once again with our vitamins and medicines. Takes at least 20 minutes to organize and accomplish and we're set for another week. :>)
