A Ramble About Politically Correct

December 1, 2015 Tony Burgess 11 Comments

I don’t have a problem with politically correct speech or behavior. For too long people had been given license to demean others. At some point it became a socially unacceptable to say what was in your mind without being challenged on it. I think we need to be sensitive and polite to everyone and to accept things have changed. So being politically correct is more about making people think about how they relate with others and how people are treated.

So I Skipped Zumba

November 30, 2015 Tony Burgess Leave a comment

Tonight is usually Zumba night but I just wasn’t feeling it. I rarely skip because I made a commitment and also my instructor is a friend so I don’t want to disappoint her. After the weekend I had and also how I started my day by spilling some soup I just needed a night off. It’s OK to skip something every now and then, except work and jury duty…both of those things are hard to skip. We did get Asian food and are watching some TV. I hope to have a better day tomorrow.
