Well we had a happy new year and are looking forward to a wonderful 2006. I'm hoping to have a lot of changes happen this year, a baby for starters. I started the year off right by getting rid of...
In what probably ought to be filed in the "there he goes again" category, David Lee Roth said on his new radio show this morning that a reunion with rock band Van Halen is "inevitable." Don't get me wrong...
As has been documented here earlier, I get sort of a strange pleasure reading about dumb crooks. Today I ran across this little nugget from last month about a mugger in South Africa who hid in a tiger enclosure...
I just found out that on Feb 3rd, at Regent University, Harvey Mansfield and James Caeser will be part of a symposium. FURTHER, because I am so cool and because I am a government teacher, I am going to...
1. Says, "BYE!" so emphatically when you walk toward the kitchen you think you really are leaving. 2. Says, "Yeah!" and claps at every little thing. He is quite the encourager. 3. If you ask nicely and hold out your hand, he...
superfrogged Originally uploaded by mrs. weichbrodt. On our way back from Hawaii, we stopped to spend a few days with Noel's family in Ardmore and Houston. Since they're good, mid-western folks,...
Well, a new year is underway. Typically, this is a time to think about resolutions and for some, hope for a new start. I actually had a pretty good year in 2005, so I want to take a...
I remembered FlyLady when I read Tulip Girl’s resolutions yesterday. I think the first time I heard about her was actually from Uncle Bob. My SIL also mentioned it at some point. And a while ago someone mentioned another family...
If it walks like a duck AND quacks like a duck. . . Reformed kinists in various Calvinist associations say this: "In the attempt to create a One World, Babylonian government, a relentless campaign is now underway throughout the world to...
Current Lists of People Picking up papers to run for office. Qualified means the candidate is qualified to run for that office. If qualified is not by the names, it means they picked up papers to run but...
I'm back, and ready to begin the 2006 blogging campaign. We'll catch up with other things later. For now, I have some questions. First Question. What ever happened to distributed peer-based digital signatures and public keys using webs of trust? I am...
So, on my/our way to my homestead in Colorado Springs, we pass right by The Dude's homestead in Kansas. It's a tiny town, but it merits its own exit on I-70! (Wow, it's the big time!) I...
These fuckwads are not starting the year off well. I mentioned a few days ago that Virgin Records figured out a way to screw both the talent and the fans with the same stroke. Now I read that Columbia/Sony is...
The odd-numbered State Senate seats are up this year, so, at least seventeen articles between now and August. (Not too bad, but it's the House that daunts me.) Senate District 33 has suffered doubly. You all know this, but...
Covenant College Five Year Plan Originally uploaded by josiahq. This is a screencap of the an alumni fundraising document (download the whole thing in pdf format here) featuring the gameplan for Covenant...
Ha. Ha. What a great year 2006 is turning out to be. Today, Jack Abramoff worked out a plea agreement with the Justice Department, he plans to sing on his "dearest and closest friends": Rep. Delay, Ney to...
April has left with my sister today from California. Please pray they have a fun & enjoyable trip. I was sent this quote from a friend. The context is a discussion on the problem of evil, and more particularly the question...
This photo is for my husband who is driving farther and farther away from us as I type this. He left yesterday and Jack and I miss him pretty darn bad, (sniff, sniff). Here's the plan - Most of our...
This is essentially the perspective of the Nsoromma School in Atlanta that I learned about while dropping in on a Kwanza event. Atlanta continues to be one of the most interesting places for black folks in the country. There's a...
One of my favorite features of Flickr was the ability to view your photos on your mobile phone. Unfortunately, ever since Yahoo! bought Flickr last year, this feature has stopped working for all new members and anyone who merged their...
The designated bike paths in East Lake haven't neccessarily been used by bicyclists very much. For one thing, the bicycle paths have often been covered with mud, water, trash--not the most pleasant thing to ride on. Also, I...
The list has been updated: 03 January 06 at 10:30am CDT. And the date/time stamp has been changed to move it up the main page. [Thanks to David for the email tip.] Update: Kevin has responded further to Chris' "Choice...
This combination is known to be lethal to people who aren't sensitive, touchy-feely art-croissant types. I barely escaped from certain death myself. I have never been more grateful for the back button. Wanna see what I'm talking about? Don't say I...

No, we didn't hit the slopes in Hawaii. Winter brings hefty swells to the North Shore. Twenty-five foot faces are a relatively common -- but still noteworthy and fondly-witnessed -- occasion. The day after Christmas, Noel, my brothers, and...
We are in our third day here in Massachussetts and we just got 8 inches of snow. Everyone here kind of dreads it but we think it is so beautiful. It has been a very fun trip so far. We...
Here's a small script for all you del.icio.us users out there. It improves upon the idea of including your recent links on your website or blog. Currently, when you use one of the official del.icio.us methods, you can specify the tags...
