I did my fifth grade book report on The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Not having read the books earlier in the series, I had absolutely no idea what was going on. All I knew is that they were on a ship that was heading for somewhere. I read the […]
Earlier this month, I stumbled upon a Google Chrome extension that tells you when people unfriend you on Facebook. Though not for the faint of Facebook friendship heart, I immediately found this concept awesome. What a great way to have an idea if something you posted recently really offended someone […]
Quick thoughts on tonight’s NKOTBSB performance at the American Music Awards: NKOTBSB performance was choppy but riveting. I was moving my hips like “yeah!” Nodding my head like “YEAH!” (And that makes me larger than life). What happened to “Step 5” in “Step by Step?” Was it because Jonathan Knight […]
When I was in High School, I love, love, loved Oldies music. I liked it so much, I actually taped an infomercial for Dick Clark’s Rock N’ Roll era and watched it over and over. Who tapes an infomercial? Me. I did. I loved seeing the footage and hearing the […]
Every now and then when you’re on stage, you can hear the best sound that a player can hear. It is a sound you can’t get in movies or in television. It is the sound of a wonderful, deep silence that means you’ve hit them where they live. – Shelley Winters
I go back and forth on Twitter. I really do. Sometimes, I think it’s great. Other times, I wish it would self-implode. I’m so tired of being advertised to, pithy sayings about success and minor details into the lives of people I don’t even know. Rather than trying to fight […]
There’s a wideness in God’s mercy I cannot find in my own And He keeps His fire burning To melt this heart of stone Keeps me aching with a yearning Keeps me glad to have been caught In the reckless raging fury, That they call the love of God
After an operation on Friday and not being able to do anything but look at the ceiling, I finally have some time to update this blog with some news and notes. It was about the fourth time I’ve needed stitches in my life. The first was when I was a […]
As you might have noticed, this blog has taken a turn in direction lately. I was tired of what felt like boring and uninspired posts (see my book reviews) and wanted to only post things that I, if a reader, would be interested in viewing. The number #1 quality I […]
Who is the better golfer?
Who will get us first?
Who was the best lawyer?

Al Horford headed to his first NBA Finals at age 35. In no small part because Horford, at age 35, is still damn good.
What is most close, most intimate, most present, often cannot be experienced directly but only with a certain distance…. Only in retrospect do I realize that something very important has taken place. Isn’t this true of all really important events in life? When I am together with someone I love very much we seldom talk about our relationship. The relationship, in fact, is too central to be a subject of talk. But later, after we have separated and write letters, we realize how much it means to us, and we even write about it.
