A Blessed Christmas to You and Yours
I should probably admit, I have had less interest in the “season” this year than most. Indeed, Christmas has felt far more chore-full than cheerful (even my puns aren’t really all that great this year!) Yet, I would be immensely amiss if I didn’t extend my warmest greetings and sincere hope for a blessed […]
Read More..>>Merry Underwater Christmas
Every once in a while I have the privilege of helping Peggy Kurpinski, owner of Adventures in Diving, with a “try scuba.” A “try scuba” is just that - it’s a chance for people who have a little interest in scuba diving to give it a try under closely supervised and carefully managed conditions […]
Read More..>>I jumped on the bandwagon
First let me say… I usually detest it when people jump on bandwagons. It’s annoying and generally reflects a lack of confidence and creativity, as well as a (usually inappropriate) desire to fit it and make others happy (often at the cost of one’s own joy and happiness).

A little story for you: when I was in high school, “everyone” was ridiculously obsessed with evolution. I […]
Labyrinth half done (no news on my thesis proposal)
Well, I officially reached the half-way point on the labyrinth I’ve been knitting. It’s not the best picture, but you can see how it’s turning out. I’m pretty happy with it:
Oh, and what do you think of my Habaneros?! (It finally put on some peppers!)
As for my thesis proposal, I’m afraid no news… ugh. Trying […]
Hopefully?!
The past week has been incredibly busy. Sunday was… (1) the first Sunday of Advent, (2) a communion Sunday, and (3) our annual congregational meeting (which we held, for the first time, on a Sunday hoping to get better participation - which it did!) On top of that, I’ve been frantically working on […]
