Good News

With all of the terrorist bombings and natural disasters, it is more an more difficult to find those good news items that can bring a smile. Sometimes I think that the TV networks and big newspapers have a contest to see who can paint the bleakest pictures and test the limits of honesty and good taste. But all is not lost.
The shuttle Discovery is back in space after 2 1/2 years, starting a 12 day mission. Tiger Woods won the British Open by being his dominating best. Lance Armstrong did the impossible — winning the Yellow Jersey of the Tour de France for the 7th straight time. ( I was glad to see him offer the winning toast, “Vive le Tour”, not “Viva le France”). And, of course we now have a first class nominee (John Roberts) for the O'Connor seat on the US Supreme Court. Even though parts of the economy are a bit shaky, the Dow Jones average is still over 10,500, and China re-evaluated the yuan. So, all is not lost. But it is such a shame to have to look for the bright spots in a dismal panorama.
Best advice — keep looking!!
