Quiet on the Golf Course
Today’s View From the Bull Pen
Priorities
We have them all wrong. From constant news coverage of Jodi Arias and OJ Simpson to athletes getting mega bucks for playing a game, our sense of what is important is completely and totally screwed up. You'd think that we might have learned something from the recent events in Boston. That heroes emerge from even the most difficult of circumstances, but, no, we return to the inane and inconsequential. Amanda Knox. Film at 11.I drew this cartoon after reading the recent story about Andrew Wiggins, supposedly the "next" LeBron James, signing a letter of intent with Kansas. While Wiggins did his best to keep his signing from becoming too much of a circus, it still carried huge weight in the 24/7 news cycle. It made me think of the number of brilliant kids who will walk across graduation stages all over our country in the next few weeks, whose names are only heard as they stride forward to get their diplomas. No newspaper columns are written or press conferences held for valedictorians or honor students, but, hey, dribble a basketball and we hear all about it. Priorities. Yeah. I'd say we have them pretty screwed up.
As always, your readership and your comments help to make the world go round, so please continue to add them. I will try to do a better job of responding.
There isn't a way to leave comments in the Bull Pen so please feel free to leave your comments under the latest cartoon that I post.

Quotes & Quips
“Why not let people differ about their answers to the great mysteries of the Universe? Let each seek one's own way to the highest, to one's own sense of supreme loyalty in life, one's ideal of life. Let each philosophy, each world-view bring forth its truth and beauty to a larger perspective, that people may grow in vision, stature and dedication.”- Algernon BlackTwitter Goodies
…and that’s what “vibrate” is for…
good Morning from Omaha,
they’re everywhere, they’re everywhere!!!!! people feel the need to connect with the world but really sometimes its just good to be “out of pocket” for a while. I would have never have imagined, as I was growing up, having three different phones in our house. If you add in the our kid, that would make 5 phones that could be in our house.Land lines, postage meters and dodo birds all headed for extinction or already there.
strive for excellence, nothing but your best.

Doesn’t bother me one bit. On the golf course that is. I turn mine down to a low level and keep it in the cart or my push cart. I welcome the distraction, makes me focus on my game more…and lets be honest, for the most part we are all playing on public courses…ie…we aren’t pros, we’re hacks.
But, Jason, doesn’t it bother you to have to listen to their conversations? I find the loud talking more bothersome than the ringing, not to mention intruding in my life with the details of their life. I agree with Gene, we don’t have to be always available and connected. People can get along without us for a while once in a while.
