COMEX: The March to Irrelevance

Adventures In Squash

Someone told me that next to swimming, squash is about the best thing for your heart (I know - other than love silly). Indeed, you'll have to get your skill up to maintain the flow of a point but once there, the zone is accessible. "B" level players have a certain quiet confidence as they saunter from "T" to back corner and then up for the return of a shallow ball....but forget "B" - I get a great workout as a high "D" player and you can too. The key to finding the flow is technical racquet proficiency in the back corners so that tight balls can be returned with good length and angle.

The Racquet Network in Calgary is always on the lookout for new players. The site has been recently improved for better navigation.

Contrition

Dec 2, 11....Have you ever come upon weak half baked apologies and wished to yourself that it would have been best if none was given at all? Most likely you have. Egos if at work can prevent the full scale variety because of some kind of "power differential" (a very good friend recently used this term) that the apologetic has an interest in maintaining. I contend that it is very easy to be forgiving if contrition is wholehearted. The bonding of people is so much more pervasive when we lay our heart out for unconditional acceptance. You and I have been witness to these kinds of people and in fact you may be one of them. They are everywhere but oftentimes not in the lime light because their peacefulness is expressed in the background subtly picking off the inexplicable darts thrown by others.

Should forgiveness be granted to those expressing an apology perceived as insincere? As the prayer goes, "we forgive those who trespass against us".
