Today as you arise from your Knightly sleep you will more than likely reach for your morning Java. Before 1996 that would have clearly meant a nice, warm, robust cup of coffee (perhaps spiked with your favorite spirit). Since 1996 Java has taken on a dual meaning in our society. Today marks the day in that fabled year that the Java computer program was released by Sun Microsystems, a program that has changed how we view the world through a small electronic box. It makes me ask myself, "What have I done to change the world?" A humbling question that I will ponder after enjoying my two forms of Java this cold Indiana morning. Cream and sugar? One lump or two?
Cheers!

A lot of people know the following joke...
ReplyDeleteA Buddhist monk, visiting New York City for the first time in twenty years, walked up to a hot dog vendor, handed him a twenty dollar bill, and said, “Make me one with everything.”
The vendor pocketed the money, and handed the Buddhist monk his hot dog. (Thankfully, my friend Norm finished the joke for me)
The monk, after waiting for a moment, asked for his change. The vendor looked at him and said, “Change comes from within.” With a wistful smile, the monk walked away. (insert laugh here)
To paraphrase a great one:
We must be the change we wish to see in the Knight world.
