Supposed to be gone
but I'm not. One of my flights was cancelled. Going tomorrow.
I do not love Delta. They have proven over and over again that they don't love me. In fact, we hates them.
But I still go back. Driven to Delta by price considerations. Bleah.

what this single guy wants for valentine's day
realism without despair
(cultural, political, theological) involvement without frustration
hope without romanticism
combining a concern for humanness with intellectual integrity
mixing a love of truth with a love of beauty
blending conviction with compassion

Lent Reading
"Jesus has many who love His Kingdom in Heaven but few who bear His Cross. Many follow Jesus to the Breaking of the Bread, but few to the drinking of the Cup of His Passion. They who love Jesus for his own sake, and not for the sake of comfort for themselves, bless Him in every trial and anguish of heart, no less than in the greatest joy."
Thomas a Kempis
"The difference between shallow happiness and a deep, sustaining joy is sorrow. Happiness lives where sorrow is not. When sorrow arrives, happiness dies. It can't stand pain. Joy, on the other hand, rises from sorrow and therefore can withstand all grief. Joy, by the grace of God, is the transfigurationof suffering into endurance, and of endurance into character, and of character into hope--and the hope that has become our joy does not (as happiness must for those who depend on it) disappoint us."

iMac fixed
There is a paper clip hole to the right of the cd drive. I'd forgotten it was there (my cd's never get stuck!) and NONE of the documentation mentions it. Thanks to the main man Chip, who let his wife share her extra free ticket with me last week.
need iMac help
My housemate, having not learned his lesson the first time this happened, has put another pc data cd into my iMac. I can't get the durn thing ejected. Any suggestions?

The Bad Thing About Global Trends
Doing the reading and finding stuff like this--
"Our poverty is not necessarily comprised of being materially destitute but of refusing options that protect us from suffering and the cross."
