Thank you for taking the time to say what you're thankful for, in strong and simple language. I absolutely agree with you about getting older, and it's a point worth making in a culture so foolishly obsessed with the cult of youth. As Frank Lloyd Wright said near the end of his long life, "Youth will come and go, there's nothing you can do about that. But 'young' is something you can carry inside of you always." Thanks for your blog - it's one of my favorites.wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-42323160288312784732011-11-26T12:57:19.255-08:002011-11-26T12:57:19.255-08:00Number 4 - I'd trade 30 years off in a second,...Number 4 - I'd trade 30 years off in a second, faster if possible.

It isn't imminent, but it'll happen.<br /><br />I'm very thankful for all the peeps in the blogger neighborhood.Jason Bellamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18150199580478147196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-27927965463771583082011-11-24T15:38:49.077-08:002011-11-24T15:38:49.077-08:00Thanks for this, Dennis.

I'm always appreciative of your take on life and the movies. <br /><br />A couple of things: <br /><br />-- I hope you do find your way to Oregon to teach. We can always use more good teachers here. Whereabouts in Oregon are you looking to teach? <br /><br />-- Secondly, I hope you find your way to Oregon because we need to find a time to get together for some good brews or lunch! Hehe. That book sounds interesting, and I had to deal with a lot of that stuff, too. Marcus Borg worked for me. <br /><br />Anyway, thanks for this post. Even though work has forced me to be not as active in the blogging community as I was the last couple of years, I still lurk and read and try to comment as much as possible, and I always light up when I see a new post from you in my feed.<br /><br />Happy Thanksgiving, Dennis!Kevin J.
