The fabulous title of this post can be credited to my darling oldest son, Duke #1.
Being the only conservative in a family of liberals (although in truth, I'm never too sure about the political leanings of the dog - he's such a waffler), this is the phrase he mutters under his breath whenever I introduce new, healthy, 'natural' philosophies or items that I believe could seriously improve our lifestyle. Like chiropractic manipulations.
Or bee pollen supplements.
Or arugula.

Paper 1: " You'll love any opportunity to explore philosophy, religion, and politics or discuss other countries and different cultures. You're equally as enthusiastic about travel plans or anything to do with publishing and media. You're gung ho* about exploring new ideas!"
[*gung ho: local Cantonese word meaning 'crazy in the brainpan']Paper 2: "Connect with people who come from different backgrounds and you will get a much broader view of the possibilities that exist. Spending time with old friends may be fun but it won't open your mind and inspire you."
Whoa.
I know, right? Kinda eerie.
In a sand-candle/incense/Ouija Board sort of way.
I have spend the last 3 days exploring, connecting, listening and absorbing at my own personal Bloggy Woodstock. I am now just trying to find the way to process it all without popping that magical bubble that envelops it.

More to come - I just have to wait for tomorrow's horoscope.
