The following takes place one day before Memorial Day, a particularly busy day for the Deli. ColdBeer is a fucking pro at slicing meat. The guy can do things with a meat slicer that would give your grandmother an aneurysm....
We did make it out into the country during our visit to Vienna. We got up early and spent a day in the Danube Valley, starting out in Herzogenburg to visit an Augustinian Monastery, which was founded in 1112 and...
I don't really feel like going into detail here now but Ubuntu is a great Linux distro that anyone can use pretty easily. With the release of 6.06 Ubuntu is faster and better looking than ever. Did I...
OK, so being a cards fan I've watched Clemens come into my division and try to derail the Cards winning ways. Luckily he hasn't had much luck against the birds, really Oswalt last year and the year before has been...
I rang up a little person today. (You know, a midget, even though they don't like to be called that.) She had clothes for her kids, some size-S blouses, and a pair of pants I refolded. They...
Today was a busy day in my campaign to stand up for the hard-working, tax-paying, vehicle-driving citizens of Hamilton County. I put in quite a few hours of both "seat time" and "sweat equity", and even got a parking ticket...
So I turned the thesis in today. Thanks for the encouragement and long-distance support. It's 86 pages, and the title: Junkmail for Blankets, since most of what went in there, at least first-draftwise, was written for the blog. In that...
Im not sure how many of you have read this story, but I am just dumb struck. To sum up here, the one girl who survived the fatal Taylor University van accident five weeks ago was presumed for the past...
Couple random things to talk about... One of the greatest feelings in the world is when you look at your bank account with a bit of dread and fear wondering how you'll pay the bills this month. (OK that parts bad)...
Page has brought down the house more than one time with his mighty, melodious, warbling whistle. Now, dear reader, you may enjoy this most wondrous of talents thanks to an enterprising videographer and the internet. I present Mr. David Page...

My ulcer can't take much more of the Pistons "we only win when we have to" gameplan. Just get it done tomorrow night, please. I can watch this over and over again: ...
I have been, as I noted more than a month ago, reflecting on God's providence of late. It is still something that punctuates my thinking. Recently, I came across this passage from St Maximos the Confessor, on Divine...
Acrux 40 Backpack by Arc'TeryxHey there everyone. I've been busy and not online for a while, and here's why: I recently launched an affiliate program with RockCreek.com, and this is a test of the technology behind that. This link takes...
Morty and I are doing a little market research in preparation for a talk we're giving at General Assembly this month. So, literate, thoughtful folk who I assume are my readers: what do you think about contemporary art? ...
“I have often noticed that we are inclined to endow our friends with the stability of type that literary characters acquire in the reader's mind. No matter how many times we reopen 'King Lear,' never shall we find the good...
Good ol' News Channel 9 delivers this story with a somewhat unfortunate title (thanks to Mesh for the headsup). Said title leaves me with but one response: ...
When we first moved to the Chicago area, I was enrolled at the Episcopal seminary, and we stayed in student housing in Evanston. We rather enjoyed living in Evanston, the beach, the neighborhood parks, and such. Even though...
What the heck's up with products these days? It seems like that companies have decided to cut the lifespan of appliances and electronics through poor construction and/or lousy design. Products that have been gimpified in this manner are referred to...
OK, Im bloggin a lot I know. But I had to point out that soundtrack.net has posted their first listen of the Superman Returns soundtrack with a review. John Ottman is the new composer (taking over reigns from John...
But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) he entered once for all into the...
I am going to see this show on Saturday night at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. Im going mostly to see Hem, who I saw in Atlanta once before. If anyone reading this blog has not checked out their music,...
The US government has a new website, http://www.ready.gov. displaying public service symbols for terrorism readiness, in the tradition of the old "duck and cover" campaigns after WWII. The fun thing is that these pictures are so ambiguous they could mean anything! Here are...

Troparion of St Justin Tone 4 O Justin, teacher of divine knowledge,/ thou didst shine with the rays of true philosophy/ and wast wisely armed against the enemy./ Confessing the truth thou didst contend with the martyrs:/ with them...
I attended my first BNO tonight. For those of you wondering, BNO = Boys Night Out. It's a weekly gathering every Wednesday night with the gang I knew back from the old st3 days. There are a...
