Pattern? Not so much. I've decided on this Regia Canadian Color #4731 (Quebec) for my sock pal. (Click here for swatch.) I just have no clue as to what pattern to use - it was hard enough to choose the yarn!...
Those PBS programs are worthless! Ernie and Bert SUCK! Ken Burns is so gay!Those ungrateful students can get through college without any loans (gosh! Bush got through Yale without any loans -- if Georgie can do it, why can't any...
Well, now. It seems that I have inadvertently gone and upset a Van Hilleary supporter. That's fine — as has been repeated often in these days of cartoons and protests, in America we have the right to be...
Ok, Bobbo is blogging a lot about cross-cultural stuff over there where he is. But I'll tell you what, I get it over here too. Having grown up in Colorado (yes, I know I mention that a lot, but the...
Just read this. This has never been about blasphemy. This is about fanatical Islamist totalitarians trying to use manufactured and deliberately provoked Muslim rage to affect what the West can do with our presses. I have this to say to the...
Speaking of slimy politics. Seems the progressive democraps are not all that progressive?!@#! Panic and retaliation among progressive Democrats over Green challenges are behind HR 4694, say Greens, citing the bill's prohibitive petition requirements, ban on private contributions; Greens...
I inevitably have come to the conclusion that once life seems to be slowing down, things turn upside-down! I wish that I could say that God has an ultimate plan for me to have peace here on earth, but right...
We have 15 days before we close on our house. Only 15! We have a few boxes packed-just a few. If I weren't taking this class, I'd have my evenings free to pack. Unfortunately, the class must come first. I...
Today at break, a coworker and I went to Goody's to do a little shopping. Well, since Goody's is only 1/2 block from my job, I only carried my wallet and not my actual purse. I picked up some things...
I got the job that I had been waiting to hear from. HR called me today around 4:00 and offered it to me and of course, I took it. So, beginning February 27th, I will be moving back downtown in...
James Vlahos, former editor at National Geographic Adventure, nails a sweet story in Esquire's March issue on crawling and floating through Puerto Rico's extensive network of caves. At one point, he's floating toward the equivalent of a toilet bowl; at...
I just want to say an official thank you to my mom for everything she did for me that went unnoticed. Nothing makes you appreciate your mother more than being a mother yourself. I know that having three children, 3...
U2 was my first concert Interesting the current popular appreciation for U2. Is this an acknowledgement of the eloquent honesty of the written word or an expression of a deep need on the part of our society? My own...

Lizzie has spent most of today pretending to be Katie (what I like to call her imaginary personality). What is most shocking to me (aside from the fact that my two year old pretends to be someone else) is her...
While I think that John Piper makes a helpful theological observation in his February 8th article, I wonder if his application is a bit too simplistic. Piper says: The work of Muhammad is based on being honored and the work...

News flash for all you smokers: you can be denied surgery if you don't quit. Makes sense to me. Why waste money on an expensive medical procedure whose chance of a good outcome is significantly reduced by the lifestyle of...
Mocs News is one of my proudest achievements at UTC, not that I do much more than facilitate, but its all of the students' hard work that makes it happen. "Mocs News boosts broadcasting dreams" By: Laura Bond Issue date: 2/9/06...
I have a theory about records. The determinative moment of a given record is Track 3. Inhale this track, and you will gain a gestalt knowledge of the entire album. Track 3 makes you ill? "Put down the disc, son, and...
Today I received a lot of e-mails about the Grammy's. Here is a list of the nominees and the winners. Things I didn't do last night: watch the Grammy's. Tomorrow, Oh get this. US Hot Rod Thunder Nationals at McKenzie Arena. (Tickets...
Reading Martin Amis' v. fine, chilling monograph Koba the Dread this week, I ran across a note that diagnoses the humorlessness of radical Islam as exactly as I've seen. Amis is writing on Stalin, and his weapons in the Great...
I'll be taking over a lot of the chores soon. One of those is grocery shopping. Last night Alli and I (and Fuller) went grocery shopping. It wasn't a "full-on" major shopping trip, but we still needed to get a...
This is copied from the National Council of Churches statement on the rebuilding of the Gulf region. I would like to believe that all christians could speak in the afirmative. The Council of Churches USA The Gospel compels the...

Every time you think they can't sink any lower, someone starts digging!If Bush could figure out how to do away with that pesky Congress once and for all, he'd probably jump at the chance. But all he can do at...
Recently the GOP and their chairman-Ken Mehlman- suggested that Democrats are too angry? My, oh my, what are we supposed to do? Sit there like zombies while our Commander in Chief breaks the law? Sit passively...
He's not a new candidate. Dave Alverson had already qualified for the ballot as a Republican, but now has re-declared without the party affiliation. (As his transition was becoming known, he got disinvited from a speaking engagement at...
