  • Yeah, Baby!

    For those of you who don’t think Momming is hard enough, here are some excerpts of last semesters evaluations. Look closely. There are mixed messages here. “Do you have any comments about the instructor?” “She was very attentive and expressed concern about students. Helpfull in many ways. Took time with every student and discussed problems…

  • This is Hilarious!

    Big Brother at his finest. Thanks, Scotty.

  • Chey’s Computer Kata

    So we watched this movie, Equilibrium. First off, don’t bother watching it if you’ve already seen The Matrix and Minority Report. It tried to be as cool as The Matrix, but just didn’t make it. Anyway, in Equilibrium there is this Gun Kata that these super-cops do (they’re called Clerics). Looks like a tai-chi kinda…

  • “All we like sheep. . . .”

    “It’s a perilous thing, to be leaderless and obedient at once.” This is a quote from The Book of Sorrows by Walter Wangerin, JR. In it he refers to sheep. Wangerin writes allegory, so it would not be farfetched to take oneself as the sheep. I feel like the sheep sometimes. Except, being the big…

  • The Day of the Lord

  • Yooper Cooler

    Mike Stafford (schooling up at Lake Superior State Univ. in Sault Ste. Marie) sent this photo. Thought it was funny, so I’m posting it. I grew up in the U.P., for those who didn’t know.

  • “Everybody get together, try to love one another, right now”

    “If church is run as a business or corporation, it ceases to be a family. But if church truly is a family, we not only will support one another, we will confront one another. Otherwise, there is little accountability.” -Glenn Kaiser For those who don’t know, Glenn Kaiser is the main talker from the Rez…

  • Just Watched Punch-Drunk Love

    Chey and I just finished watching Punch-Drunk Love by Paul Thomas Anderson. In it, Adam Sandler plays an unstable businessman, Barry, who falls in love

  • More good news!

    “Sometimes, particularly in older people, symptoms of shingles persist long after the rash is healed. In these cases, facial paralysis, headache, and persistent pain can be the aftermath. Possibly because the nerve cells conveying pain sensations are hardest hit, or are exquisitely sensitized by the virus attack, pain is the principal persistent complication of shingles.…
