My Mom is visiting from Pennsylvania so it was with extra rapt interest that we heard and watched the news yesterday of Arlen Specter switching parties. It was also big news where I work, since we work with northeastern and midwestern members of Congress in a bipartisan manner to help assure the economic and environmental sustainability of the region. But these days there are very few Republican members left in the region who fall into the middle and can easily work in a bipartisan manner. Specter had been one of those. Until yesterday.
Other changes happening: It's cooling off today after a few days of extra heat. Clouds instead of sun. The Celtics have a three to two advantage over the Bulls in their NBA first round playoff series. The Yankees broke a four game skid with a win last night. Lost is back on tonight after a two week hiatus. Kooper will want lots of walks. Oh. Wait. That's not a change.
Well at least some things are predictable.

About Me
- Mark Gorman
- I was born in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, along the banks of the Susquehanna River, in the valley made up by Bald Eagle Mountain to the south, and gentle hills and valleys to the north. That place that sheltered me, gave me food and friends, and both physical and spiritual nourishment for 18 years. That is the space where I was physically and emotionally formed. Ever since growing up there . . . because of growing up there . . . I have been inexorably linked to nature . . . to the earth and to all life.
