It gets real in New Topeka
My moment of Zen each morning is when, while walking to class, I step on one of these berries that litter the sidewalk. The crunching sound and feeling is uncharacteristically visceral.
Michel Martin (NPR) on Dr. Laura’s point that some African American (“comics on HBO”) use the n-word, so why can’t a white person?

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones that you did do.
So throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sail. Explore. Dream. Discover.

As I sit here, having finished a paper for class and not needing it until tomorrow morning, I could either e-mail it to myself, load it on my desktop computer, and then print it off. Or, more conveniently, with two Macs that just work and a Brother printer that just works, I don’t have to worry about it. I can just set it up from here, no hassle, it’s printed off, and now I can pass out after a long day and pick the paper up as I walk out the door tomorrow.
This is what it is to be a smooth operator. I continually fail to understand - and seek to help - others who haven’t opted for a low-hassle environment as they integrate and operate with technology.
Arrogantly superior? Yes, please. And, more sincerely, sorry. :-(
