'If you Live in the Past, You Die in the Present' as Willie McGiniest quoted his coach after last weeks game.   Strands of a rope creating a far greater strength woven together than ever they could imagine on their own. I've been visualizing a Rope of three strands a Red Strand, a Blue Strand, and a White Strand. We live together, we need to communicate, that's how we have a future. I am talking about my country. There is no getting rid of a strand, Red White and Blue. Let's keep it together.   A couple of hours before the big Patriots Bronco game. I need a nap. .. as usual.    I withhold my bold prediction in deference to Bill Belichik's rock solid insistence on living in the Present. I want to see Flutie playing and not because Brady went down.    'May the Best Team Win.' that's what this carpenter from Kentucky told me last night from the back seat (cab driving) when I asked him about his preferences. I asked him about where he thought this Country was going,  he maintained a silence from the back seat that I guessed was a shrug perhaps not that he didn't care just that he just didn't know. That's about an honest a response as you can get. I don't know either.  I love the Patriot Mentality though and I hope they never tire of winning Super Bowls you only have one opportunity to live a life what's wrong with 10 in a row. Everyone working Together as a team living in the Present what is possible? Where could we go? What could we achieve? Let it be. We'll find out.      Guy Meyer, Jr.                   January 14, 2006         San Anselmo, California               guy@lifesignsphoto.com
