Five candidates for congressional representative in the 1st District fielded questions in a Q and A forum last night in Greeneville, a forum which you can listen to here at The Detour online radio station. The candidates are: Joel Goodman, independent, T.K.

One thing few folks are talking about here in this corner of the 1st Congressional District - that's the primary on Thursday. But of course, it is only Tuesday, so they have tomorrow to talk about it out loud amongst themselves.

The Professor came by the office and we had salad with pears, some kind of cheese, walnuts, and my beloved dried cranberries.  Then we had the most delicious tamales in the history of tamales.  And then we had cupcakes.

We discussed injustice and bags.

And Dr. Phil.

"Well, you know, America already has one Dr. Phil. When it comes to the economy, we don't need another."

As you may have guessed, that rarely happens–seeing as how many of Time’s columnists and I do not really, shall we say “see eye to eye” on things.

I had two dreams last night.  In one, I was putting a compost pile in my back yard and wondering if I could put dwarf lavender along the side fence.
