When we are freezing to death in two winters, we will know who to blame.

Redford is right. The Republican Party does seem to be living in the 1950’s. At the time the GOP was dominated by “Modern Republicans”—we call them RINOs today—and it steadily lost power in Washington as the decade progressed.

There was no Islamic threat in the 1950’s. At the time, secular “Arab Socialism,” spearheaded by the likes of Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, Iraq’s Abd al-Karim Qasim and the Algerian National Liberation Front were giving Western policymakers headaches.

“... we have a guy who looks like he just slid out from under a rock” Robert Redford

In his latest movie, “All Is Lost” sometimes hard luck boater Bob resembles an angry old man returning broccoli soup at Subway.

I saw part of an interview with Redford a few weeks ago. I was confused initially; I thought it was a talking catcher’s mitt.

You mean...like this?

Yes, Robert... scold us about the environment. I’m sure you know best. BTW, are you still zipping around California in that Porsche with the “Sundance” vanity plates?

Time and age can do things to you that you never expected when you were young.

When we’re young, we see old folks on the street and say to ourselves, “I’ll never let that happen to me; I’ll stay on top of things!”

But life is full of unexpected exigencies, and griefs, and trials; things don’t always turn out the way we thought they would when we were young; and all of that takes a toll.

However, it does seem to be true that a lot of really wealthy, worldly people do seem to age very poorly.

When I was young, I had a friend who believed that rich people aged better because they had the money to enjoy more leisure, had less worry, etc.

I’m an old lady now, and I know that my friend’s notion was NOT correct.

The only thing that keeps us young in heart, mind, body, is what’s IN our hearts and minds. I’ve seen so many wealthy people age so sadly. It doesn’t matter how much money you have; it matters where your heart is, and how in-tune with Spirit your heart and mind are. And: the more you care about how you age, the worse you will age; you have to care about Other Stuff, and lose yourself in the sheer joy of living.

Live Large, Love much, and Laugh a lot. Stay interested in, and unprejudiced toward, new experiences and ideas. Then, you’ll do fine.

-JT

The only thing he knows about the environment is how many trees you need to cut down to make a ski lift and build multimillion dollar condos.

“Robert Redford should move to Cuba or North Korea if he wants to live in a communist state.”

Yeah! He could take Sean Penn and Jane Fonda with him. He and Jane could “hook up.” They are the same age.
