The Columnist Manifesto

"If you don't like the news," says a famous San Francisco radio political commentator, "go out and make some of your own."

I have felt powerless about many things going on in the world. I have felt that nothing I say or do will change the world around me in any way.

But no more self pity. I received this email from Grandma Moses a couple of days ago (I'm on their email list):

We are now serving organic cold-brewed decaf iced coffee.

How empowering is that? (For the background, see this post.)
