We are at a party today celebrating with some friends and I am grateful for my belief system.  We are enjoying a wonderful meal and playing some games at our good friends house. I just finished a discussion with a sociologist who is here. It was most interesting. I love listening to the world views of sociologists. They have studied things I haven’t.
