Random cute things from Fuller in the past few days:
~When he woke up one morning he said, “Trains at home, Momma.” We were at Lake Martin.
~Today he stubbed his toe and told me to kiss his feet.
~Fuller fell today and...
For those that might have wondered if I fell off the wagon, I haven't. The committment to a fixed bedtime and some huge work projects for this week have taken most of my available time. That was all compounded on...
A nation-state taxes its own citizens, while an empire taxes other nation-states. The history of empires, from Greek and Roman, to Ottoman and British, teaches that the economic foundation of every single empire is the taxation of other nations. For...
It's always interesting to hear the music that plays at political campaign stops, especially when it's clear that a candidate (or the staffer who put together the mix tape) either hasn't actually listened to the lyrics of a song or...
I wish that I could meet me for the first time. I'm so used to thinking about me and about what I'm doing and I'm sick of it. I wish I could meet myself and take in everything...
While for most of my colleagues here at Notre Dame, this is the season of Lent. For most of the rest of America, this week is all about Valentines day. Here are some good words about that day. Enjoy...
I knew I was forgetting something, when I wrote my not-so-nice piece about Mike Huckabee last weekend. So, I’m going to wrap it up here. Besides the one thing I forgot, there is also a side note that...
Today, an article at InsideHigherEd.com attempts to address the death of liberal arts in the American higher education system.
I call shenanegans.
Proportionately, liberal arts colleges graduate more students who attend graduate school, receive higher degrees, and become part of a...
Daddy's girls So Saturday night the whole family ventured out for dinner and some shopping. It's rare lately that we'll take everyone out somewhere. I personally don't think restaurants are a place for toddlers and unless I can be sure my...
It's pretty quiet out there. Everyone's waiting for the big DC area races tomorrow. A few things are floating around, though: Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor to serve in Congress, has died after a short battle with cancer. The meeting between...
To say that there is parity in the GSC West right now is like saying there are some Republicans in the Church of Christ. Everyone knows it and deals with it, some better than others, while a few outcasts...
Laura’s post almost mirrors what I’ve been thinking lately. Well, except for the half-marathon thing. The only reason I’d ever train for something with the word marathon in it, is if it was some kind of shoe shopping marathon. I...
so i broke down and went to a doc in box on sunday after a very very long night of head slamming throbbing, fever and pain.It turns out that my stupid mega cough/cold goo morphed into a full blown ear...
There was a young woman who had been diagnosed with a terminal illness and had been given three months to live. So as she was getting her things "in order," she contacted her Pastor and had him come to her...
Compare With But the point here, beyond that artists like Democrats, is valid. Is most of America willing to listen to a guy as old, dour, and hard as McCain? In comparison to the message that Obama brings?...
Thursday was Lavender's big 2 year mark... I can't believe she is already two years old!The poor kiddo's party had to be postponed due to "the sickness" (which made me feel incredibly sad - being the cause of the...
Go ahead, Republicans. Close ranks behind this. Special to Ron Paul supporters: Barack Obama won't do everything you'd like, but he will end this war. (HT: VV)...
OK, so by now you've seen the awesome video, "Yes We Can," which was produced by will.i.am, directed by Jesse Dylan and features a recent speech from Barack Obama. And then along comes "john.he.is," from Andy Cobb and company, which features...
What kind of crazy fucked up world do we live in where a Presidential candidate is cooler and has more charisma than the owner of the #1 record?
Read the full entry.
Apparently, Barack Obama also won a Grammy last night....
What is all going on with us…..Well, I am still trying not to write 2007 down instead of the current year 2008. The twins turned a year old last month. Emmie is crawling and standing up. Zeke is rolling around,...
This week's menu swap is being hosted by Ginger Lemon Girl. She chose chocolate as our "secret ingredient" in honor of Valentine's Day. I have a couple of recipes for flourless chocolate tortes, so I think I'll make one of...
What better time than February - Black History Month - to get acquainted with an African American writer that you've not read before or continue your interest in one of your favorites. I'm partial to Southern authors, and though...
Our good friends adopted their precious baby boy in December and we had a baby shower for them yesterday. I had fun making this one, and it went really fast too, which is always nice. This brown squirrel fabric is...

Music that sounds like prom songs. Does South Park help us see the problem? I was recently contacted by a leader of one the largest campus ministries in America about the absence of men in their ministries so I'm writing...
Bestiality being a public health concern. For the animals. #2631: It is loathsome to eat the meat of horse and mule and donkey and if somebody makes coitus with them, that is an intercourse, they become unlawful and they must be...

The song that...
