A Wicked 10th Anniversary!
Today is our 10th wedding anniversary and, although we’re not doing anything particularly exciting (except opening a bottle of Tabor Hill’s Cabernet Franc - Michigan has some incredible Cab Francs and this is one of our favs!), Wednesday evening was the “proper” celebration! We spent the night in Chicago and attended Wicked!
I bought JJ […]
Read More..>>1 thing unexpectedly awful, and 1 creative and wonderful
First the unexpected and awful. My computer fell into a coma yesterday. I was joyously checking my e-mail, typing up a list, loading finale to print out a song I wrote a few years ago and *boom*… or more precisely ” . . . . . ” the blasted thing just stopped. […]

OK, my little darling can sometimes be a handful… but really? Ebay?! For a single Euro?

It probably was a joke (and theoretically a pretty funny one)… but….

Team Dunningwut? Made the cut!
OK, I know some of you (joining a large group of people including my wife and most of my congregation) will think this is a crazy thing, but I’m TOTALLY excited. We found out today that Team Dunningwut? was selected in the random lottery for a place at Ragbrai again this year.
If you’ve never heard […]
Deathly Hallows slated for 2 (read that - TWO!) Movies
Yep, I’m excited. Apparently they’ve decided the last Harry Potter book is too much to cut down into a single movie — Good choice! Instead, it’s going to be two of them. I like it.

Thesis Proposal Approved!
I promised to update you when there was something to update. You may recall that my thesis proposal (for my Doctor of Ministry) was denied in December. No surprise - that’s pretty common. Anyhow, judging by the comments, it seemed that several of the concerns were based on issues that were tangential to the project, […]
Read More..>>Happy New Year (and Hat Finished!)
Good morning and a happy new year to one and all — may it be a year of joy and blessing for each of you and those you love.
As we’re watching the Rose Bowl Parade, I finished the “Koolhaas hat” for Emily (our babysitter and our church’s bulletin secretary) — I’m really happy with it […]
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..>>In Paradisum
In paradisum deducant te Angeli; in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres, et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum te suscipiat, et cum Lazaro quondam paupere æternam habeas requiem.
May angels lead you into Paradise; may the martyrs receive you at your coming and lead you to the holy city of Jerusalem. May a choir […]
Long Road Home
A friend of mine (Stacey at The Almond Branch) put up a recent song of hers at: Long Road Home.
Check it out; it’s awesome!
It’s been up for a while but, since I live out in the boonies where High Speed Internet is impossible to get, it took me until today to hear it.
Great job Stacey!
Grace […]
