For those of you with those brand new Nooks or Kindles you got for Christmas, allow me to announce I’m going to release an Ebook version of Neither Liberal Nor Conservative Be in February. I’m writing a revised introduction to go with the book and there will be new offers for you on my web site for both the print and electronic versions. I also have plans to move the web site from www.KindredMindsEnt.com to www.TheCenterStrikesBack.org. The CenterStrikesBack.org will also be a Facebook page shortly. Obviously, just like the candidates and political parties, we’re gearing up to offer you our very best for the 2012 election.

2. Never Again

Wishing someone well during the holiday season is a common, yet sincere act. Each person can have a different vision for what being well means. Hopefully, your vision came true over the last week or so.

The reality is, of course, not everyone’s dream for how the holidays should go (or other events) happens the way they would like. Even what might be considered an amazing holiday for some might seem disappointing for others if expectations are too high.

If you are human, then circumstances change. People die, children grow up and career opportunities cause relatives and friends to live apart. Thank goodness for the ease of telephone communications. In fact, today we even have Skype so we can see the person we’re talking with.

Nevertheless, sooner or later some planned event is a disappointment. Maybe there was a high school reunion you wanted to go to, but you didn’t. You didn’t because you thought your car wasn’t good enough or you disliked the way you looked or some other reason. Maybe you just found yourself caught in some circumstance causing you to be in some undesirable situation and you vowed never again to be caught like that.

Here is one of my own experiences, offered as a lesson others might learn from, followed by a lesson for you as a voter.
