I don't claim to be a "blogul." Neither do I claim to have coined the phrase. In fact, I'm not too sure I understand the necessity of Creative Commons, or Numly, or any other such service. After...
It's a small step, but at least it's in the right direction! Gov. Phil Bredesen said Thursday afternoon he has ordered a halt to all planned executions in the state for the next 90 days while there is a review of...

More thoughts on the enviro-house. This is a video from Patagonia's LEED-certified warehouse operation. Some points to take home: light colored paving tiles, light colored roof. They also talk about runoff control and separation tanks that remove oil from the...
"Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces up, and snow is exhilarating; there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. "John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)It was 7am this morning when Cosey walked into...
When I was at my bleakest moments at my old job, I would turn to job search sites to find comfort. There had to be something better out there for me to do. If I couldn't just leave and come...
Damon's office was closed today, due to snow. So he has been working hard on the front porch, even though it is very, very cold outside. This afternoon Dave came back to help and they are making visible progress. There...
Someone asked me the other day what kind of jewelry I wear. My simple answer is that I only wear my wedding ring, my engagement ring, a necklace from Damon, and earrings. Before I met Damon I always wore a...
Here's the outside From the front door, i love the wrought ironish spindels, wife doesn't, but I do. Our Killer Kitchen, we're putting in Corian counter tops and the floors will be hard wood all throughout the downstairs. View of ATL...
Slate has a response to the NYT Mag article I linked a few days ago. He disagrees with many of the basic premises, and asserts that modern science is entirely capable of dealing with nutrition as it is currently...
Lizzie ventured out in the the snow/slush for about 5 minutes this afternoon. She didn't last very long, might have had something to do with stripping off her gloves and bare handing the slush. Thank goodness we have hot chocolate,...
My Resume 1. My first job was working in an Orange Juice factory, but I got canned. I couldn't concentrate. 2. Then I worked in the woods as a Lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it, so they gave me the...

This is usually the last place I'd be on a snowy day like today. If I was at Covenant, I'd be tossing snow in hallmates' bed and enjoying the day off. If it actually snowed without a mixture...

Currently at Reagan with just a few minutes to post before my flight leaves. Stupid airport doesn't have wireless, and Mom from the South had to hunt some down for me via her mad maven skills. Last night, my grandfather...
Sam actually said to me, "Hey, Mom! If I run out in the snow in my underwear, will you take my picture and put it on your blog??" It was a bit amusing to me to realize...
Woke up at 7 am and quickly looked outside. Snow had blanketed everything, so I guess the weather dorks (tm bobw) were right about this one. I took some pictures so I could blog about it elsewhere, then bundled Fuller...
Well, we got a little bit. Here's the view looking down the street, snapped at about 9am. You can see a bit of slush in the road (which doesn't get much traffic), but from what I can see over on...

Her death by breast cancer yesterday will not rob Molly Ivins of the witty and satirically sizzling words she left us. In the spirit of Free Speech America, we remember this great Free Speecher of America. Even the politicians she regularly...
Fellas, OF COURSE Blacks are leaving evangelicalism. This can't really be a surprise, can it? In a recent conversation with a Black man who's been a pioneer in conservative evangelical circles now for a few decades he confessed how difficult...

Well, it actually happened. It snowed in Chattanooga!!! I couldn't believe it when I woke up this morning at 5:00 am. So much snow on the ground. I went to take Diesel out and he didn't...
My Uncle Harold used to say that... i've been urged to jot some things on our blog, i'm always so reluctant and usually find something else to do. Maybe it's cause it all seems so technological and i have...
