Anyone Home?

This space has been quiet again. There reasons are many: 1. I was sick last weekend (who gets sick in the middle of the summer). 2. Work was a bear last week (of course it’s better now, since I’m posting from work). 3. I’m lazy. So, here’s the short list of things on my mind…. […]

Irony…and Politics

Sometimes you just have to wonder about people. I see plenty of things each day that make me say “Wha….?” but over the last two days the wha… quotient has increased. First, on the ride to work, I saw a Hummer with a “Get Bush Out!” bumper sticker. I’d like to think that it was […]

Jibber Jabber

I’ve been neglecting this space again, thanks to a busy work schedule and family visits….. First, a little Rally Turkey wrapup. Seb Loeb won the rally, though he had quite a moment on the very last competitve stage — a wheel bearing on the Xsara seized, and he was forced to crawl to the finish […]

Music

I finally bought some new music this week, after a long drought of nothing new except a smattering of downloads. First up, The End is Near from The New Year. The Kadane brothers are fantastic songwriters, a few other bands can create such beautiful music. This is a better release than Newness Ends, in part […]

Back, Again

So I’m working from home again, since I spent the weekend on said back, and I figured one more day might really help. I also went to see my doctor today with the slight hope that he’d offer a prescription to some sort of muscle relaxer. I must not have been cringing in pain enough, […]

Inside Looking Out

Well, thanks to my stupidity, my back flared up again on Friday, and has left me couch-bound this weekend. Despite the appearance of being very lazy, there are few things I hate more than forced inactivity. I can deal with a day or two of it on vacation, but forced inactivity at home is the […]

Old Age? Stupidity?

Currently, I’m at home (11:15am on 9 June 2004) because I couldn’t go to work today. I’m not sick in the classical sense, but I managed to throw out my back sometime in the past two days, and any movement is difficult. I’m supposed to be working, but that’s hard to do when your co-workers […]

This Space Intentionally Left Blank

Not much activity here lately, eh? There are plenty of things I should be talking about: * The reaction of some members of my denomination to a series articles by my father-in-law examining what a loving Christian response to homosexuality should be. * My growing disaffection with systematic theology (directly tied to issue above). * […]

Cake

The boy discovers the joy of cake.

One Year Older

Sebastien turned one year old today. Wow. One year. Jen put together a nice collage of month-by-month photos. A couple of things we noticed when looking at the pics lined up like that: 1) We thought he was a cute baby. Not a chance. He’s much cuter now. 2) We thought he had a lot […]
