Jim Is the win­ner of two “Indeed!” awards. The first one is for the best pc hol­i­day greet­ing I have heard all sea­son:

Happy and fes­tive denom­i­na­tional and non­de­nom­i­na­tional exu­ber­ence and a merry new year to every­one out there. Be nice to each other.

Indeed!

The sec­ond is for his post on pow­er­less­ness. I can think of noth­ing more mad­den­ing than the inabil­ity to effect change where it is needed. And, even more mad­den­ing than being pow­er­less to help one­self is being pow­er­less to help some­one dear to one. I have spent a good part of the last half of this year feel­ing pretty pow­er­less, but like you I know that time (and patience on the part of oth­ers) will pre­vail. Funny, though, how won­der­ful pow­er­less­ness can feel — to the body, mind, heart and soul — when it is entered into will­ingly… Indeed to this post as well.

Any­way, I envy greatly any­one who has the abil­ity to have a morn­ing cof­fee rit­ual with a par­ent. I miss my mom. Merry Christ­mas, mom. Thanks for the posts, Jim. See you around sometime?

P.S. Check out Bush in 30 Sec­onds if you are in the mood to think. Indeed.
