I don’t watch any T.V., period. I have not for many years, excepting for those bits I catch in a patient’s room at the hospital where I work. I do, though, occasionally watch interesting YouTube videos, and opine that I will be bringing the “boob tube” back into my life [...]

I am highly peeved that the media confidently bray about the “pregnant man” (a “man” who has a vagina and a uterus.) I am as highly peeved by that as I am by the fact that I meet people who think televised arbitrations (Like “Judge Judy”) are in fact televised courtroom proceedings. [...]
Peace faking vs. Peace making

I’ve been skimming not only So Close to Heaven from my friend K. but Married but not Engaged by Paul Coughlin on my way to my current scholarly read. Paul Coughlin as usual is priceless for his truth telling.
Here’s my thought for the day: If you consider or contemplate a relationship [...]
Astro-logic

Not only does “young-universe” astronomy amaze me, so does the sighting of a profile on a Christian introduction service wherein the young lady prattles about her ’sign’ and what it means to her.
These dreams..

HEART
Is it cloak and dagger, could it be Spring or Fall?
I Walk without a cut through a stained-glass wall.
Weaker in my eyesight, a candle in my grip, and words
That have no form are falling from my lips.
These dreams go on when I close my eyes. Every second
Of the night, I live another life. These dreams [...]
Cumulus II

The short range forecast for this week calls for thunderstorms in the Carolinas, and bedevils my plan to go to the Outer Banks during a carefully schemed 6 day vacation, and thus I contemplate other options.
Ex astris, scientia

My tango obsession has eaten into many things, which is one of the reasons it needs to be scaled back until I can dance in my house with someone. One of those things is my casual dabbling in astronomy, something I only visit a few times a year. I [...]
Wealth of Nations

The Wealth of Nations, by Adam Smith, is not something I’m ever going to get around to slogging through. I have, however, enjoyed humorist P. J. O’Rourke’s witty condensation — or is it condesencion ? of this work. I quote here P. J. O’Rouke’s quoting of [...]

In just a few days I’ve read Chabon’s The Yiddish Policemen’s Union, recommended by my friend Rob. My next read: Karen Armstrong’s Holy War, about the crusades and the shadow that they have cast into history to this day. This will take longer to read and contemplate upon properly.
Married but not engaged..

Have finished Paul Coughlin’s Married but not Engaged, and it is as great and essential a read for single Christian women as his No More Christian Nice Guy. I was heartened to read of his explorations in tango dancing with his spouse, and his use of describing this tango dancing as a [...]
