Has anyone noticed that people don't acknowledge people anymore? I mean just walking down the street...in everyday life. Maybe it's because MY life is so darn eventless that I'm abnormally hungry for contact with others, but I just can't seem to reconcile this.
When I am walking and I pass someone, whether they are old, young, male or female, I make eye contact (or try to) and nod, uttering something like, "hello" or even just, "hey!" But, more often than not, I get no reply, just a blank stare that I take to mean, "We have nothing to engage about, please keep your comments to yourself." I'd even say that, if someone felt this way, it'd be OK to say just that. At least it would leave no doubt. It's very disheartening.
I try not to take it personally, but how else should I take it? How much effort am I asking for here? I'd be satisfied with a nod, a grin, or even just a grunt...to let me know that I'm not invisible. I'm not talking about people on cellphones here...those people, I simply ignore since I believe they, in essence, aren't really present. I'm talking about congeniality, pure and simple . Are we so caught up in our own little worlds that we can't be pleasant to each other?
This gets so far under my skin that lately, when I approach someone, I give myself a little pep talk right before the moment of truth. "Don't do it, Vince...you'll just be left hanging in the breeze...this person doesn't want to wave...don't wave! Don't! Oh, you jerk! She walked right past you with your hand in the air, while she made a big demonstration of reaching for her car keys. You fool! You loser...Oh,yeah, right...make like you meant to scratch your ear! You are so pitiful."
This is what it has come to...me chastising myself over a simple How-Di-Do.
Does anyone else notice this stuff? I really hope so, otherwise I must begin the long and painful trek into therapy. And then, how will I greet Dr. Roth? With my luck, my therapist will also respond poorly to How-Di-Do?

God and Football
I don't wish to disparage anyone's faith...in their god...or their football team. In either case, that would amount to sacriledge! But if we could, for a moment, try to see how both types of loyalty have so much in common, a bit of sanity could result.
Today, and for centuries, religious fervor has resulted in the pain, suffering and death of millions of people. This is a fact. At the risk of being viewed as 'elitist' I have sworn off organized religion after being raised a devout believer. I know first-hand how one can be attracted to religious inclusiveness. The problems begin, in my opinion, when a religion claims it's superiority over other religions. More pointedly, one deity's superiority over another deity. Religion quickly becomes non-inclusive in this respect.
Here's where sport comes in.
We sports fans believe in our respective teams...sometimes without more reason than the fact that we are 'homers'. We watch each clash with other teams, holding out hope that ours will vanquish them and be worshipped as 'number one'...that is, until next year, when supremacy is recast in doubt and fear once again. No death...no suffering (save an ankle or two)...and most importantly, we all know the claims of supremacy is fleeting and totally unrelated to the realities of life...the daily struggle to feed and clothe our families while communing with other humans in a civilized manner.
Let's give each religion a yearly shot at the trophy and let civilization lighten it's load. We have so many more important things to worry about.

The 'New' Paradigm
The financial crash and following recession has brought our nation to it's present state and everyone is holding their cards in wait for the nest shoe to fall...or not. Who knows what will happen? My family has our house on the market and interest has proven scant. I hear conflicting opinions as to what the near future holds, but, based on the continued glut of inventory locally, I'd better be prepared to hunker down.
I've heard most people say that the real estate market will return, and that would please me, but, even though my personal preference would be to find them correct, I still have my doubts. "All things are cyclical.", I hear, but something tells me that's a hopeful statement, too.
The one thing I keep trying to remember is that this freefall didn't really begin with the financial crash. Our nation has been rupturing jobs for decades to foreign countries that are willing to do the work much cheaper. And with the advent of the internet and communications in general, accessing that labor has become 'de riguer' for companies with their eye solely on the bottom line. And who can blame them? I can. And we should.
To think that business entities are going to voluntarily grow a conscience is absurd. The belief that some new paradigm is in effect goes against all that is our present view of business as a whole. Think back to Dick Cheney's statement that energy efficiency in business is an admirable virtue, but that he was totally against legislation to that effect. I don't see us embracing any 'new paradigm' in business until we employ the 'carrot and stick' to our own masters of industry. Now that would be 'new'.

The Lost Decade
I used to think that the Redskins were the only team with ownership problems. And now that Washington's braintrust is showing signs of grasping their role more effectively, I've been able to take the blinders off in respect to the rest of the league. Myopia strikes most harshly when the homefront is under siege.
The last 10 years of Snyder Rules in D.C. probably shouldn't be such a surprise to the fan base. Hindsight is always picture-perfect and this is no different since Danny Boy made his millions (billions?) in a rush, as the dotcom phenomenon created many of his ilk. After his purchase of the Redskins, how else did anyone expect him to run the show? With patience? Snyder wouldn't be where he is if he was an adherent to the concept of delayed gratification. So, in a way, we Washingtonians, as a community, should have seen the mess coming. Think Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, Dan Wilkinson.
I'll try not to criticize other team owners, but there are teams out there with similar problems.
Take Dallas ( I said I'd try!), for example. See any correlations? Yes, they have gobs of talent at the skill positions...and a paucity of depth at the non-flambouyant ones. This is a common pitfall for owners who get too involved in the workings of their team. It's one thing to have a game plan week to week. It's an entirely different set of factors in the game plan for a team's health over time. Time...the eroder of dreams...the exposer of hubris. Rather than my listing the owners who know how to keep their respective teams competitive year after year, decade after decade, it would save ink to simply say that the list is probably those owners who you never hear about...until they're dead. Rooney, Kraft and Green Bay Packers, Inc. come to mind.
Before Washington fell into the evil empire's hands, they had another owner who, though flashy, exhibited these needed fatherly traits. Jack Kent Cooke. And when he died and his heirs were unable or unmotivated enough to carry on his legacy, the city was at the mercy of kismet. And his name is Dan Snyder.
We as fans will be focused on each week's clash between the participants on the field, but it's the owners who are really playing this game. They either study it and follow tried and true methods entrusting the day-to-day workings of their team to proven and talented professionals, or they are mavericks whose meddling amounts to sheer gambling. Can they afford that? Maybe...but we fans end up being the pawns who just get shoved around the board hoping the Grand Master knows what he's doing.

Sanity on the 'Cellular' Level
After dropping my son, Joey, and his pal, Frank, at school this morning, I made the reverse trek back home. As I approached the neighborhood, facing a stream of cars in oncoming traffic, I was shook to see an SUV drifting across the double yellow lines. As I swerved and blew my horn, the driver corrected his path and as we passed each other I saw that he was chatting away on his cell phone. This isn't the first time I've encountered this. It didn't really surprise me and I don't want to rant about it other than to say that it seems so, well...ignorant, self-important and shameful! But it did remind me of my recent trip to Washington, D.C. last month to visit my 92 year old mother. She reluctantly accepted my offer to drive her to her early morning doctor's appointment from her home in Alexandria, VA, to Walter Reed Hospital in the District. It seems she is accustomed to taking the bus. She and my sister, Jackie went and Jackie said she'd call me on my cell phone when they were ready for me to pick them up. I figured I'd kill some time in town rather than go all the way back to VA...I was anxious to visit an Italian market off Florida Avenue anyway. After I shopped and I was heading back in the direction of the hospital, my cell phone rang. I knew it was probably Jackie and I moved to the right lane to turn onto a side street so I could take the call. I won't use my phone while driving...period. I'm no scientist, but I'm damn sure about the science behind our brains' only being able to focus on one thing at a time, no matter how 'special' we think we are.
The lane I turned onto was a calm, tree-lined drive that had no traffic at all and I looked to the curb for a spot to pull into, and seeing one, I slowed and angled my car in behind another sedan some thirty feet ahead. As I was coming to a stop, I pushed the 'answer' button and lifted the phone to my ear, after which I applied the emergency brake. At this same instant, I noticed a D.C. police cruiser in the parking lot some 50 feet to my front. The call was Jackie and as the officer's and my eyes met, I began conversing with my sister. The police car's engine started and began heading toward me rather swiftly and I told Jackie to hold on a minute...that a cop was coming over to me. I had forgotten that cell use while driving was banned in our capitol city, and not only that, but they took it VERY seriously, which I was about to find out first-hand. So seriously, in fact, that even while drifting into a parking slot while lifting a cell to ones head is rightfully considered breaking the law.
The officer didn't even have to explain...I told him I was thoroughly impressed with the commitment the city has evidently made to the issue. Wow! He gave me a warning, but the experience left an indelible mark on my nation-view.
I live in Nashville, TN, where there is no such law...no such commitment...not even the rumblings of a desire to clamp down on such a blatant disregard for propriety on the public roadways. It gives me pause each time I start my car and ease into traffic here.
So what is it? Is there something distinctly different about these two communities? I checked up on just how many states have cell use while driving bans in effect and it's quite laughable. Only 8 states have gotten real in this regard (I believe that even the states that do have bans in place should extend it to cover ALL cell use, not just hand-held) and a few just now putting them into effect. I draw a blank trying to grasp the factors involved with why most states are not following this trend. Is it due to size? Population? Rural characteristics? There's just no telling, and I can't even begin to delve into the possibility that civic corruption (read, lobbying) may play a part. That's not to say that a place like D.C. doesn't have it's fair share of corruption! I hope it's just a case of lag time between knowledge and legislative action that's holding everyone else back from doing the right thing in this case. At least my son, Joey, isn't driving...yet.

Fantasy Tom-Foolery
The 2010 NFL season has begun and since I've exhausted every source of info in respect to the Washington Redskins after their unlikely win over the hated Dallas Cowboys. Wait...what was that? The Redskins beat the hated Dallas Cowboys? I love the sound of that ! Sorry. Some things I never grow tired of.
I don't have a rant this morning unless readers conceiveably would find my football spiel rant-like. I only wish to examine the recent phenomenon that football fans and even non-fans have come to call Fantasy Football. I will try to treat this as delicately as possible since many of my friends indulge in this bastardized offshoot of reality-show sensibility. It seems that the games themselves are not enough. Somebody had to figure a way to 'involve' every dumbass with a laptop in what, until that moment, had hertofore belonged solely to 'real' teams and their respective 'real' players. Where I used to enjoy the cameraderie of the brethren whom I call fans at a given tilt...now it's not taboo to say one is 'for' their team but then add that they hope the star receiver of their opponent gets so many catches or so many receiving yards...against his team! And then I consider the look on the Fantasy participant's face to determine what he is thinking when he says he 'has' Reggie Wayne...and Tom Brady. What? This is just WRONG. These players' names together is offensive to me. Can't you just keep 'fantasy' in the bedroom, where it belongs! And if the real game of football isn't enough for you, I can suggest several endeavors that may benefit you and burn that nervous energy off like a Marin County fog at mid-morning. Do you have a yard? Or a small plot of soil that you could garden in? Consider trading vegetables with other would-be dreamers and their families at halftime.
Look, the NFL will manipulate this thing to the hilt...if you let them. Even they don't think the games are enough. They're always trying to hook more viewers, just as Verizon, once they sign you up, goes after new customers and leaves you dangling by your password. Think about it...protect the QB, the Tuck rule, illegal use of the hands...free agency for godsakes! The game is but a shadow of it's original self, and I'd love to say let's keep it pure, but it's too late for that. The best I can do is shun the ever-prostituting efforts of reality-fantasy proponents that will always try to make the game somehow 'better'.

Eat Smart...and Sustainably
This morning the glitter has faded from what was an exciting Redskins' win over the hated Dallas Cowboys. Wait a minute...that sounded so fine...Redskins' win over the hated Dallas Cowboys. I never get tired of hearing that! But after reading many posts at football sites that give the Skins no credit for the win, I will shrink back to another subject. Any subject will do...just something so a reader here won't think I'm a bitter Redskins fan in search of a glory long past, never to be regained. (The truth is so painful!)
Actually I want to address the subtle changes that I see in our food industry. We have to be careful not to be too swayed by the 'organic' movement. Not that organic is bad...it's great. But now that organic is 'in' (which it never was until big business saw how lucrative it could be) we, as consumers, must grow along with it. Yes, organic produce has advantages, certain items more than others. And we still don't know what benefits an organic Bell pepper holds over one grown with pesticides. At the cellular level, there may be researchable traits yet undiscovered. But we have experienced exactly how the mere size of an industry can make bottom-line more important than benefits to consumers (Think AIG and Lehman, to name only a couple). Organic food was always a small niche market of hippies and flower children in the 60s and 70s. Whole Foods is now world-wide and raking in the profits. I don't begrudge anyone making money on a helpful product, but we've learned so much since the old days. After reading 'The Omnivore's Dilemma' and seeing first hand how the idea of small farms that operated on interconnected bio-diversity to eliminate the need for pesticides and antibiotic use have all but been eliminated, I feel we must refine what type of food industry we want to foster. Do we want mono-culture operations that foul the air, soil and groundwater like the CAFOs (Confined Animal Feeding Operations)? These entities have pushed the small sustainable farms nearly out of existence. Small farms like 'Polyface' in Virginia, which is mentioned in 'Dilemma', used to be the norm before 'big money' started looking for even 'bigger money'. It happens in all facets of life...farming, automobiles, medicine, banking, even music!
If we want our food industry to follow a reliable trajectory it must include 'organic' but even more importantly, it must be consciously sustainable. It must include, and even lean heavily on 'bio-diversity' and 'local'. Why doesn't Whole Foods have a huge local aisle, full of fresh produce and meats produced regionally and delivered to the stores in the same manner as CSAs (Community Supported Agriculture) have been doing in recent years?
The real costs, in energy and environmental damage, of our current conventional food production is clearly unsustainable. We need to learn why and move toward a better model for the future.

Monday Post-Redskins Win
I awaken to a day that is decidedly upbeat. I could discuss politics...but today has me in a glorious mood. Politics is gutter-wallowing, and there will be plenty of time for that. No, today I will simply enjoy knowing that the Washington Redskins will MOST PROBABLY not find themselves in the grip a downward spiral again this year. That numbing trend that began when their ownership was transferred to Daniel Snyder instead of Jack Kent Cooke's son, who stumbled in his bid for the team some 11 years ago, will end this year. Whatever happened in the wake of JKC's death and the subsequent search for new ownership, the historical fact remains that he was out...and Snyder became 'The Man'. It may simply be that he wasn't as gung-ho as Snyder, or he didn't want it badly enough. And although Snyder is probably no less a Skins fan than myself, he was in no way getting good business advice from whomever it was that was in his ear about how to be successful as an NFL owner. Apparently, he has begun listening to newer, better angels.
The Skins didn't look brilliant last night...just persevering. It was an ugly win...replete with a gut-wrenching last-gasp ending, out of which the Skins snatched victory...instead of the all-too-familiar defeat. Today is Monday and the focus (after the obligatory visits to cowboys.com to bask in some overdue chest-thumping) becomes the Houston Texans...the Skins' opponent next weekend.
Are the Skins Super Bowl-Bound this year? Probably not. But Week One was the beginning of something we haven't seen in our Redskins trajectory for a long time. 'Competent' is the word that describes them to me. From the Head Coach to the lowliest special-teams player...and, yes, to ownership. Our ownership is finally getting it's act together. That's what's finally different. Here's to you, Dan Snyder. See if you can stick to this plan.
