These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

The "intense emotions" part is sure right
August Happiness -- Friday 24
The NFL did the right thing. They suspended Michael Vick indefinitely and without pay. While right now, the plea Vick agreed to appears vague in terms of exactly what he is willing to admit, the NFL was definite:
"Your admitted conduct was not only illegal, but also cruel and reprehensible. Your team, the NFL, and NFL fans have all been hurt by your actions."
While the gist of the Commissioner's statement is about gambling -- naturally the worst sin a professional athlete can commit -- there's no doubt that when he used the word, "cruel," he was referring to the dog fighting.
I'm so happy that the NFL has taken a stand, one that can't be misunderstood. Since sports are such a big part of our culture, it's a good thing for kids, for fans, and, of course, for all of us.
