Hopefully you summer holiday weekend did not include a state park. Maybe long distance driving in the state was a chore unless you have relatives every few hours. There is plenty of sun and generally some of the best weather and summer days so far.
Reading the Sunday New York Times is an interesting weekend break. This morning's was full of interesting juxtapositions -- top executives salaries increases way over those of everyone else's averages, Minnesota state government shut down, unemployment remains about 9% and the wars (plural) continue.
I know our students are continuing their studies and trying to make sense out of the news. I have to admit I am pleased that the judge decides that schools are part of the "essential" services. The Twins can seem to find an answer to winning baseball games. But it might be good to notice that total team salaries does not predict series winner or playoff contenders according to this morning's NYT. Fashions still seem to be a total mess. I just can't image young people bouncing around in some of those color combinations unless they were working for the circus. But to each his/her own.
The world -- the country -- the state -- our neighborhoods -- might be a good weekend to search for the common good or what do we think is worth the time and effort. Have a safe holiday weekend!
