<br />
Funerals are for the living. Aside from the mechanics of preparation, burial, or cremation, a funeral serves to bring together family, friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors, and so forth. We support one another, comfort the grieving, remember the deceased, and perhaps wonder when it will be our turn. And, if we follow the standard script, we eulogize and honor the person who has died.<br />
<br />
Too late. How sad to wait until someone is gone before acknowledging them - their strengths, their contributions, what they meant to us, and why we'll miss them. Somehow, I wonder if we assume that those around us know how much we appreciate them, enjoy their company, respect their accomplishments, and how they improve our lives.<br />
<br />
It's too late to tell them once they're gone. Pick up the phone - write an e-mail or letter - stop by someone's house and let them know what and how much they mean to you. They can't hear it when they're gone.RAD's DINERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01157255090085461923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768048078239495077.post-91345498966108397372011-06-08T18:40:00.011-04:002011-06-09T19:53:51.410-04:00Death and Dying - Part I: The Casserole Effect<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqSQ1LH926UwH_cfyLeRC_gcgqMGCgGA52KPLU-cPWqk4AVR9Y8ewv1gCnJ9YOwVG6eRy7zH9NajwhPtT19mbc9qQ-vn0UQHvJsqAQWjgAkxxNcvBHAlyphcta3su9c2FT15RefLtxjuM/s1600/June+2011+-+Death+and+Dying+-+The+Casserole+Effect.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqSQ1LH926UwH_cfyLeRC_gcgqMGCgGA52KPLU-cPWqk4AVR9Y8ewv1gCnJ9YOwVG6eRy7zH9NajwhPtT19mbc9qQ-vn0UQHvJsqAQWjgAkxxNcvBHAlyphcta3su9c2FT15RefLtxjuM/s400/June+2011+-+Death+and+Dying+-+The+Casserole+Effect.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">When someone dies, our cultural norm is to 'circle the wagons'. For the grieving spouse, parent, child, friend, relative, co-worker, neighbor, and for ourselves, we offer love, compassion, sympathy, friendship, kinship, warmth, and support. Frequently, this takes the form of food - which is sustenance, nourishment, a very basic need, and something we expect the bereaved to appreciate and not want nor need to prepare on their own. This is a wonderful tradition - it is from the heart, and it is given with only the best of intentions. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What I hypothesize as 'the casserole effect' is that within a week or ten days, the calls, the visits, the handholding, and the casseroles have subsided - and the mourner, the griever is left with his/her emptiness, including literally and figuratively, the casserole dishes. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">What I have learned and what I know to be true, is that after such a loss, there needs to be continuity of communication, connection, and compassion. The immediacy of our response to someone else's loss needs to extend past the initial event and not create a 'casserole effect', where we have done that which is expedient, and yet perhaps, not for long enough. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Support, concern, and love are long term commitments. We are needed as much, or perhaps more, in the months following a loss, as we are when we first make our casseroles.</span><br />

When sailors dream of a larger boat, the part that expands is in the middle - the cabins, the galley, the living space - not the bow and the stern. When you live longer, you tack the extra years onto the end - 70's, 80's, and 90's - and not in the middle, like a boat. How sweet it would be to get older by adding more time in your 30's, 40's, and 50's and not so much at the end.</div>RAD's DINERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01157255090085461923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768048078239495077.post-24636651463169098092011-04-03T11:37:00.000-04:002011-04-03T11:37:12.434-04:00Lawrence Machine Shop - Lawrence, MA<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYaYj2XW1WRwjKZb_72JPVKUh6z-YncaCuTC0x-YfN3zFIDCMgK08qQJGzJDMJJSF4B-QJ0RmTIUV_VoGZod_vJIw0S0e1yIa0wTts-Ezph7q19YB1AAlFx7hzVuaOle1cOaBZpLVE-c/s1600/Lawrence+Machine+Shop+-+Lawrence%252C+MA+-+A.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitYaYj2XW1WRwjKZb_72JPVKUh6z-YncaCuTC0x-YfN3zFIDCMgK08qQJGzJDMJJSF4B-QJ0RmTIUV_VoGZod_vJIw0S0e1yIa0wTts-Ezph7q19YB1AAlFx7hzVuaOle1cOaBZpLVE-c/s400/Lawrence+Machine+Shop+-+Lawrence%252C+MA+-+A.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

I continually meet people who appreciate, seek out, collect, and treasure rocks. Whether for their simple beauty, their gravity, their tactile sensuality, or their durability and permanence, they are parts of our lives. We rub them as touchstones, anchor our ephemera with them as paperweights, design garden settings around their textures, and decorate our homes with them.<br />
<br />
They may represent stability in an atmosphere of change - they may serve as foundations in a world of uncertainty. In a seemingly limitless array of colors, shapes, sizes, and structures, they imbue us with their strength. They solidify memory and connection to place and time. <br />
<br />
You know who you are. If you are nodding your head, glancing at your collection, or thinking of the spot where you gathered a favorite specimen, you are a member of The Fraternity Of Rocks.

Aside from football and Black Friday looming, Thanksgiving is about eating. I can't think of any other American holiday so focused on gustatorial endeavor. Hours on end go into preparation - minutes go into consumption. So, it was with both humor and wry enjoyment when, several years ago, I found the following shopping list at a Shaw's in Manchester, VT. In its iconic enumeration of menu and ingredients, it fully embodies the essence of the holiday. Forget the typos, the calories, and Martha Stewart's missing hand - enjoy it as a symbol of our American tradition and one family's way of celebrating the day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We've come to think of this area as <em>our</em> sanctuary and it never fails to deliver. I've asked a number of individuals and couples if they too have a sanctuary and have been disappointed to learn that most people don't. I'm not sure why. I can't imagine not having a safe harbor, a special place, nor haven. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

<div align="justify"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">A final note on the word sanctuary. Again, I find that the definition in my head doesn't quite match all the definitions in the dictionary. That's OK. What's important is how we feel there and what it means to know what awaits us when we arrive. It helps keep us grounded knowing it's there and only time and distance are in the way.</span></div>RAD's DINERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01157255090085461923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768048078239495077.post-51880802085182824722010-09-19T15:13:00.003-04:002010-09-21T13:19:02.492-04:00Lou's and Lloyd's<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLCyz9JRNf8YvEedvXnWRgLlnqCF8swP7Z_ZBKyn95_cUpdUi_oT9SHhTtkL0kcd0c6WenjasSefM1x9ZllF4g24wh2Q4U0jwyKDbBYsaOYJmiUsPOVGZfgTgBnqlFC6cCUlL85-FA0yY/s1600/Lloyd's+-+B.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLCyz9JRNf8YvEedvXnWRgLlnqCF8swP7Z_ZBKyn95_cUpdUi_oT9SHhTtkL0kcd0c6WenjasSefM1x9ZllF4g24wh2Q4U0jwyKDbBYsaOYJmiUsPOVGZfgTgBnqlFC6cCUlL85-FA0yY/s320/Lloyd's+-+B.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaeq9i3Co3Z0awHOMXxYryx9PiG1EWE5cRvZ9-8E27k9tCeuTDV4DzqF8oIFDrbz3orvGiDarRov_1cWcMwwZlwmJ-o2DKq93d8trrhFkVWp4JOsxuC0764u-n6iTdnrhwzmhmhjNnf8/s1600/Lloyd's+-+A.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyaeq9i3Co3Z0awHOMXxYryx9PiG1EWE5cRvZ9-8E27k9tCeuTDV4DzqF8oIFDrbz3orvGiDarRov_1cWcMwwZlwmJ-o2DKq93d8trrhFkVWp4JOsxuC0764u-n6iTdnrhwzmhmhjNnf8/s320/Lloyd's+-+A.JPG" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

"Instruction and Amusement are more blended than the world in general is apt to imagine. Uninstructive amusement may be afforded for a moment by a passing jest or a ludicrous anecdote, by which no knowledge is conveyed to the mind of the hearer or the reader, but the man who would amuse others for an hour, either by his writing or his conversation, must tell his hearers or his readers something that they do not know, or suggest to them some new reflexion upon the knowledge they have previously acquired. The more the knowledge bears upon their pursuits, upon their occupations, or upon their interests, the more attractive it will be, and the more entitled to be called useful."<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">On a recent 3200 mile road trip, my wife and I committed to not eating fast food nor stopping at any chain restaurants. It took a little effort, but paid off with big dividends. Every meal was unique, the food well prepared, the menus varied, and each of the wait staff was an individual, not an automaton asking if we wanted to supersize our order.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We got off the interstate for each meal, which took both time and energy, but we were rewarded with unique locales, friendly service, great food, and a glimpse of small town America clearly lacking at highway interchanges. Face it - a Wendy's in Portland, ME looks the same as one in Portland, OR and, while there's some sort of safety in familiarity, every one of our meals was a positive adventure and a break from the monotony of the road.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From now on, you can guess where and how we'll be eating. Go ahead - try it out - live a little !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Spring has displayed its usual spectacular reawakening this year. As summer approaches, I've been reflecting on the profusion of flora and fauna that surround and sometimes inundate my home and yard. After enjoying many species of birds at our winter feeders, the last few weeks have been replete with Northern flickers, red bellied woodpeckers, rose breasted grosbeaks, and hummingbirds. Great blue herons are regularly overhead and the ground at my feet is chock full of turtles, rabbits, raccoons, chipmunks, and a family of adult and adolescent gray squirrels. Pink lady slippers and Jack-in-the-Pulpits are in abundance, and my favorite insect, the dragonfly is ever present.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Several years ago, I read a book titled <u>Altruistic Armadillos, Zen-Like Zebras - A Menagerie Of 100 Favorite Animals</u> by Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson. What stuck with me from amongst all the anecdotes and observations presented, is that animals are as smart as they need to be. We humans like to think of ourselves as being at the top of the food chain, the pinnacle of evolution, and the best and brightest of the bunch. But, animals, in whatever niche they fill, in whatever domain or realm they occupy, have carved out a space for themselves that has taken millenia to sort out. The perfection of the ebb and flow of their individual and species existence is nothing short of awesome. How odd, that as humans, we take such a different tack in our approach to our surroundings and our egotistical notions about our place on this planet.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Simply put, I think animals adapt, where humans seek to dominate. I'm not knocking what we as a species have accomplished. It's just that our sense of mastery, power, and ownership is sometimes at odds with the world around us - that fragile sphere we occupy - and with our adaptive neighbors who seem to have gotten along just fine without us.</span>RAD's DINERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01157255090085461923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768048078239495077.post-87553822882999967572010-05-13T17:16:00.008-04:002010-05-15T10:10:28.404-04:00Women With Three Arms<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGecek6EfLKbVYxyvi9rK61w46bjb0-yLdPtPTBzySMplIHjAWtJQ7GPDwEFh8gXb7Zf7kiWo0xKB_HTlh0SswxHbhKLcUwFhTCH8HYSm6PYqgxWeB2KD_QP4p0x0ycPujWJbHcc6DhOw/s1600/May+2010+-+Women+With+Three+Arms.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGecek6EfLKbVYxyvi9rK61w46bjb0-yLdPtPTBzySMplIHjAWtJQ7GPDwEFh8gXb7Zf7kiWo0xKB_HTlh0SswxHbhKLcUwFhTCH8HYSm6PYqgxWeB2KD_QP4p0x0ycPujWJbHcc6DhOw/s400/May+2010+-+Women+With+Three+Arms.jpg" width="400" wt="true" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I've seen them - at least three different women - each with three arms - and all doing the same three things: smoking a cigarette, talking on a cell phone, and driving a car. I could see two of the arms - the ones holding the cigarette and the phone - the third arm was just out of view, but it had to be there or how could they steer? Really ! And, the scary part us that there are probably more of them out there !</span></div><div align="left"><br />
</div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">So, when it comes to driving and using a cell phone - hands free or not, never mind texting, I stopped. I can't control what all the mutants are doing out there on the road - all I can do is give myself any possible advantage to protect myself, my family, and my friends when they're with me. If not using a cell phone when driving gives me only a marginal edge over other drivers, I'll take it. All of us think we're better than average drivers - so much for what normal or average means - the best I can do is take care of who's in my car. And if that means not using a cell phone, so be it.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Keep an eye out for the folks with three arms - there might even be men amongst them and that means they can procreate.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Not all human behaviors are negative and we frequently rise to unexpected heights. However, the following examples make me wonder about how we're going to deal with ‘The Aliens’ whenever they arrive.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">1. When you walk through a grocery store and see a loaf of bread that has fallen from the shelf, do you put it back where it belongs, or as I observe many times, pass it by knowing that you didn't put it there, it's not your job, and most importantly, it's not your bread anyway?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">2. After a snowstorm, when your car is parked on the street, do you shovel out just enough for your car and leave an ironing board, lawn chair, or trash barrel to ensure that 'your' space is there when you return or do you clear a couple of additional feet on either side of your car so that if everyone pitches in, you end up with the same number of linear parking feet as you had before it snowed? </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">3. When the water main breaks and you need a temporary supply of bottled water, do you rush to the store and buy as much as you can put in your cart, or do you take just what you need, so that all will have enough to get by - knowing that new supplies will be delivered in the following days? If you own the store, do you apportion even amounts for all or raise the prices and make a quick killing, as some have recently done?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If this seems cynical, slanted, and looking only at the bad side of human nature, think about these examples and tell me what's going to happen when we suffer the results of global warming. As glaciers in the Himalayas melt, they provide water for major networks of Asian rivers and the water supplies for millions of people. As the rate of melting increases, the flow temporarily increases. But, as the glaciers ultimately recede and dwindle, water supplies are diminished and/or cut off. Families that once shared this seemingly endless supply may now face open hostility with others who now covet and need this precious resource. If we can't act with civility and sharing, when times are only marginally difficult, how will we handle really tough decisions in times of dire need and scarcity?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">And ... what about those aliens? Stephen Hawking recently raised the frightening possibility that those aliens, who we've been trying to contact, may not be our best friends after all. My guess is that they are at least as smart as we are to be able to receive and interpret our signals. And, if they are, they may have run out of the same materials that we keep squandering here on Earth. Hawking postulates that they may be headed this way to secure our resources, our labor, and our lives. In our attempt to reach out and touch someone, we have become unwitting dupes and our own worst enemies, much like an episode of The Twilight Zone. To see a clip of Hawking’s theory, click the following link: </span><a href="http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/stephen-hawkings-universe-fear-the-aliens.html"><span style="color: #20124d; font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><strong>Fear The Aliens</strong></span></a><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yes, I know that not all human activity is bleak and foreboding, but those little green men may be headed this way and we ought to stop and think twice about how we're treating one another before it's too late.</span>RAD's DINERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01157255090085461923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768048078239495077.post-34845250158749148932010-04-30T14:44:00.004-04:002010-05-03T16:15:48.972-04:00Is This Not Obvious ?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqJgWyr8LA-keVMEzDBpf_MiLzdcrNJlQt2MmKwHcOxdkLPDHLu47uHWf6vTww1yIOu6rJeob2ZQNTa8qTPeGZ2oPrBj3xAI2tRfflfoV8FfHSbhVl31I5I-HAWul-caBZZvSo3ZLtpc/s1600/April+2010+-+Is+This+Not+Obvious+.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZqJgWyr8LA-keVMEzDBpf_MiLzdcrNJlQt2MmKwHcOxdkLPDHLu47uHWf6vTww1yIOu6rJeob2ZQNTa8qTPeGZ2oPrBj3xAI2tRfflfoV8FfHSbhVl31I5I-HAWul-caBZZvSo3ZLtpc/s400/April+2010+-+Is+This+Not+Obvious+.JPG" tt="true" width="400" /></a></div>RAD's DINERhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01157255090085461923noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4768048078239495077.post-44127863281763427832010-04-26T10:19:00.015-04:002010-04-27T19:40:00.247-04:00Random Musings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQOlXAWjLRskDkUVnBy69pU7tSCq6mQWu7mth6xOowdaqOuCDGD5mri7GJT-y6gkw8YPbCaB78pUnFYj4zCPg6opHGa1_WYv2BYrhthiQ0MBtsfbMSshkSBlBIZcx5Ot4GbRAtEePr74/s1600/IMG_0621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="cssfloat: left; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKQOlXAWjLRskDkUVnBy69pU7tSCq6mQWu7mth6xOowdaqOuCDGD5mri7GJT-y6gkw8YPbCaB78pUnFYj4zCPg6opHGa1_WYv2BYrhthiQ0MBtsfbMSshkSBlBIZcx5Ot4GbRAtEePr74/s400/IMG_0621.JPG" tt="true" width="400" /></a></div><br />
