It was a really interesting week, this last, punctuated by some things that I can not yet talk about yet and also by some things that I can and should. Pertaining to the former, I had the unique opportunity to take some time away from the norm, see some things I’ve not seen before, and think.  (Un?)Fortunately, I didn’t have the presence of mind to bring much to do along the way, so I didn’t have the chance to watch some of the movies that have been gathering dust, waiting to be returned to ye olde Blockbuster.  But that provided the opportunity to dwell a bit on where I am in life’s journey and forced me to find center again, Read more…

I know, I’m 3 years late, but I just now found this interesting interview with Creed’s lead singer.  One snippit that caught my eye was this: So, are you now a “Christian artist,” or an artist who happens to be a Christian? Stapp: I’m an artist who’s a Christian, because I don’t write music to be evangelical. Now, if that happens, it happens. My dad’s a dentist, and he’s a Christian. Now, does he put in Christian fillings? No, that’s just part of his three-dimensional life. Now, there are people that are Christian artists, because they have a purpose to be evangelical for Christ. I don’t feel I’ve been called to that yet. Now, that could change. There’s no telling Read more…

I just got an e-mail from one of my best friends, who profoundly stated:  I was removing my SD card from one slot and putting it in another, when I realized this was shown on the original Star Trek over 40 years ago. We are living in the science fiction we grew up with. So true, SuperDataMan!!  =:)

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great pleasure that I introduce to you, my darling bride. People, this is my bride, Linda. Linda, this is the world. =:) Unfortunately for Lynn, she married a real geek (that’s me). Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s good sides and bad sides to that. Good sides being that I’m devilishly handsome, quick-witted, smarter than a box of hammers, and vastly rich. *snicker* Bad sides being that I’m occasionally less than clueful about putting my darling bride at the top of my list where she belongs. We’ve had several… um… discussions about said problem, and she’s right… I have rarely mentioned her in my blog. In the past, I’ve tried to keep my blog Read more…

I don’t think I’ve felt this low in a long, long time. In a lot of ways. I know that this is not helped in the slightest by the fact that my darling bride has given me some kind of flu thing and that I’ve spent the last 24 hours in aching pain, horking up my lungs. Speaking of which, words cannot possibly express the horror that is vomiting. Like Jerry, I had one heck of a no-vomit streak going. It must have been at least 20 years. Seriously. But between the be-gifted flu (which has now spread to my poor, wonderful daughters and I fully expect to spread to my son in the next day), and the astoundingly horribly Read more…
