It's that time again. Only once a year do I really disconnect for a little while -- no internet, no phone, just me, the dear ones, a few friends and whatever landscapes, seascapes and cityscapes we can find to explore....
an update on the fund-raising for my upcoming missions trip to Ireland: it’s gone very, very well, and we thank God for swiftly and generously blessing the finances of this trip. in fact, as of today we’re at 120% of...
Saturn on 5/12/08
Tonight, most of the sky is starting to be washed out by the brightening Moon, but Saturn is still shining brightly - tonight just a couple of degrees from the Moon, making a nice triangle with Regulus and...
I do not find Christians, outside of the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the foggiest idea of the power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? It is...
Danielson Famile "Things Against Stuff" mp3In a follow up of sorts to my last blog post, I wanted to post this abstract of a paper I will be giving at an upcoming Popular Culture conference. More to come as I...
...But Jordan Davis doesn't see that as any reason to stop reading the stuff."Poets talk about the attention brought by National Poetry Month the way kids talk about food at summer camp--" says Davis, "it's terrible, and there's not enough...
Did you hear about the controversy between skirt! magazine and sk*rt? Seems that the skirt peeps--Goliath in this story--told the sk*rt chicks--the little, unintimidating David--to hit the road jack jill, don'tcha come back no more, no more. The Philistine giant...
A question was asked today: "What is the biggest existential threat to [U.S. Senator John] McCain's candidacy?" You can help answer this question. Go to Marc Ambinder's place and take the poll, and see for yourself....
This week is going to be extremely busy and stressful. But at the same time, I am really looking forward to next week's violin recital! The wedding this weekend is requiring tons more work than usual. It's going to be...

these pictures were taken while on a fieldtrip with battle academy's kindergartners to the knoxville zoo: i am not sure what is funnier: the camel's expression or ollie....
You know things are getting frustrating when you follow the first one-run win of the season with a one-run loss. The Braves did just that this past week, capping off a 6-game homestand sweep with a win over the Padres...
Brisbane, - In Loving Memory 1991 - 2008 "You could talk to him as well as you could to many human beings, and much better than you could to some. He would sit down and look you straight in the...
I have never been one to buy into the global warming thing. I do not deny that the globe is warming I just don’t put a lot of stock in the notion that man is the driving force behind the...
We just took Henry to his first day at daycare (sob !sob!), it was really hard, (why do I do this to myself?)I even forgot his diapers at home. He seemed to be very happy and was all smiles at...
just sleeping…
By the way, Buck - jadarm… if the page looks different, weird, or broken, just bear with me. It’s only the three of us who will see it that way & only if we are logged in....
It's a boy!! I went to see the midwife on Thursday and she decided to do an ultrasound on the spot, because I was measuring a bit big for 14 weeks. Everything's fine. The midwife said it's normal to measure...
I haven’t really had enough going on to warrant a general notes post, so here’s what I’ve been up to:
My basketball league ended (we finished 7th out of 8 teams and lost in the first playoff round). I was actually...
Instead of trying to post five different posts in one day, which is impossible for me, I am going to lump them all together. Hope you enjoy the photos, although the picture quality is probably poor. Our camera is on...
On May day Fuller decided he was Batman, which for some reason translated to him wearing a red cape. We had to head out to take some pictures, so I let him wear the cape. He got a lot of...
Last weekend I participated in my first century - 3 state 3 mountain. As the name implies, it covers 3 states (Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama) and 3 mountains (Suck Creek, Lookout Mountain, and Sand Mountain) and as such...
I like to make the joke that Fuller wakes up going a hundred miles an hour. This doesn’t match up well with my 25 mile an hour mornings, so we have worked out a compromise using the television as a...
The introvert's building(left) vs. the extrovert's (right)--church architecture probably reveals whether an introvert or an extrovert was involved in design decisions. Introverts--I like getting my energy from dealing with the ideas, pictures, memories, and reactions that are inside my head,...
What is it they say when it comes to the gifts a man buys you?
Something along the lines of “if he gets you an appliance, that’s all he thinks you’re good for (cooking/cleaning)”
Well I got a new microwave for Mother’s...
Sauntering Soul is the host this week and she said: I know we all try to be sweet and kind to people the majority of the time. But let’s face it….we also know that sometimes we can be a big jerk. It...
