Living in a house of cards

by Jeremy Madden, Aspen Daily News Columnist
Thursday, September 18, 2008
As a child, I spent many an hour building houses made of cards. For the most part, the buildings were unstable, doomed to come crashing down in the blink of an eye. The slightest bump of the table or a breath exhaled too hard would often be enough to bring about the immediate implosion of the shaky structure.

Thursday, September 4, 2008
Today marks the end of the Republican National Convention. With it comes the closing of the longest primary in American history.

Horoscopes

  • Aries
    • You could be pushing too hard, and others react. Give everyone space to make important key decisions. Investigate possibilities with a smile and enthusiasm. Others might be an obstacle; walk around them. Tonight: A must appearance.

  • Taurus
    • Read between the lines. You could be shocked by what comes up from out of the blue. The issue is sorting through the viable options. Do not push or go in a direction that could cause you a problem. Tonight: Find people in the know while debating an issue.

  • Gemini
    • You might want to slow down a bit. The possibility remains that, as good as everything looks, you still might hit a snafu now or down the line. Give yourself the gift of time. You could be questioning a long-term decision. Tonight: Easy does it.

  • Cancer
    • Defer to others, as you have little to no choice. In the long run, try making this seesaw effect positive. What might you ultimately gain if you let go and allow others to see the end results of their actions? Tonight: Say "yes."

  • Leo
    • Slow down, and realize how confused someone might be. You might want to not push quite so hard with someone you value. Your creativity surges, but a risk could be a bad problem. Listen to others' money ideas. Take your time. Tonight: Pull your body and your mind away from "work."

  • Virgo
    • You might want to rethink a decision and not cause yourself a problem. Sometimes your imagination can take you down a very wild and different path. The unexpected action of a friend, loved one or associate might cause a jolt out of the blue. If you maintain a sense of humor, you will do just fine. Tonight: Let the child in you out.

  • Libra
    • Be careful to understand your limits. Just as you are ready to go with a project, a surprising or more innovative concept or method heads in your direction. The question lies in how to incorporate these ideas or make room for both. Tonight: Rent a movie on the way home.

  • Scorpio
    • Keep communication flowing, yet be able to defer conversations that might not be pertinent to the issue at hand. A meeting might be stiff. Why are others holding back? Help loosen up this group. Tonight: You know what works.

  • Sagittarius
    • Generally wise with money, you could trip up with a decision involving home and security. Do more checking in the next few weeks. The end results will please you to no end if "careful" becomes your mantra. Tonight: Pay bills.

  • Capricorn
    • You do, and others seem to watch. As a result, you could be erratic or very unpredictable. If you resent holding the bag, calm down and say so. Open the door to more expressiveness, not only on your part, but also to others'. Tonight: What would make you smile? Go for it.

  • Aquarius
    • If you feel funky or not up to a task, don't do it. There is a strong likelihood that you will have to redo what you will or think you will accomplish. Though you might not always be sure of yourself, let others see your vulnerabilities. Tonight: Get a good night's sleep.

  • Pisces
    • Your innate unpredictability points you down a new path. Investigate news with a positive eye, and be willing to join in. Though you are independent and have your own ideas, an element of teamwork is important. Tonight: Where there are people.
