Holy Days

Friends and Fams,

As I pause to reflect, on this SuperBowl Sunday, I am again struck by the rampant commercialism that has invaded this, as well as the lesser American holidays (Spring Break, the Saints' days [Patrick, Valentine, and Cinco De Mayo], Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, ...).

This should be a day to contemplate the various Miracles in the Meadowlands, the Furor in Foxboro, the decline and redemption of the Giant team, the Patriot-ism of the Patriots, the Meaning of Manning, the Bunching of Brady, etc.

It is sad indeed to have the underlying Reason for the Season, the Ultimate and Final Professional National Football League Game (until pre-season in 6 months), overshadowed by every magazine's "truly greatest" SuperBowl Recipe, every SuperStore's SuperSale on TVs much bigger than yours, every pizza chain's best, last and final offer.

I hope that you, like me, will be able to put aside these petty marketeering / social-engineering distractions, and concentrate on the true meaning of . . . The Game.

Yours in reverence,

Ray

Dobro - Guitar type name sounds like Russian "добро"

I have just enjoyed beautiful bluegrass music by famous "Seldom Scene" group. That was a live concert we attended in Glen Allen art center this evening.

Particular pleasure was listening virtuously paling on Dobro, strange looking guitar with "Russian" "good" name.

I looked up the word on Wikipedia and indeed that "Dobro" instrument name was invented having in mind the Slavic meaning of the word!

Check yourself: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobro  :
'The name originated in 1928 when the Dopyera brothers formed the Dobro Manufacturing Company. "Dobro" is both a contraction of "Dopyera brothers" and a word meaning "goodness" in their native Slovak, and also in Slovenian, Bulgarian, Czech, Serbian, Croatian, Russian and Polish. An early company motto was "Dobro means good in any language."'
