Judging from my comments and emails, my dad has become one of my greatest blogging assets. So for your morning blog chuckle I present: From My Dad.

“Writers need to practice conscious, committed indwelling. The writer builds a bubble – a sanctified bubble, a church of consciousness, a sacred mental space – which he enters with the intention of boldly, bravely and unflinchingly communicating with himself. He is about to have an important chat himself. He is about to create. p.16

“It”s the greatest crap shoot on earth. You are staking your whole life on the possibility that the things you want to say will get out there into the [imagination] of your fellow human beings and ignite them, transform them, educate them, amuse them, excite them, alert them or help them pass a rainy day by the beach. Forgive me for putting it in this blasphemous way, but you are saying, ‘I will spend my life being God and creating.” Pretty nice work – but the biggest crap shoot on earth.” p. 7

The Negro spirituals of the last century remain as classic examples of what a living liturgical hymnody ought to be, and how it comes into being: not in the study of research worker or in the monastery library, still less in the halls of the Curial offices, but where men suffer oppression, where they are deprived of identity, where their lives are robbed of meaning, and where the desire of freedom and the imperative demand of truth forces them to give it meaning… p. 47

A filing by the Ritz-Carlton Hotel Partnership/Tower City Avenue LLC – i. e., Sam and the boys, have asked for a value reduction on parcel number 101-23-101F. It is ever so with the Tower City bunch. Reduce my taxes, please!

Cuyahoga County taxpayers now have “contributed” some $68 million for the proposed Medical Mart project. I guess all the great needs of this area have been superseded by special interests again.
Let”s not talk about the Great Recession or people”s needs. Let”s just satisfy Tim Hagan, Jimmy Dimora and Peter Lawson Jones and their desire for a building project – The Tim Hagan Convention Center and Medical Mart. Or should I say the desire of special interests that the three represent.

This tough economic year for Cuyahoga County accounted for $25.8 million in revenue as of the first eight months of 2009. Continue Reading »
