  • Le goûter by William Bouguereau

    Today, while searching for a calendar to purchase for 2006, came across one that had a William Bouguereau’s painting of The Abduction of Psyche. I decided to do a search on this artist, and found this lovely painting of a little girl. “Le goûter” is French for “The Afternoon Snack”. The girl’s eyes reminded me […]

  • Emerging Unscathed

    Sorry I haven’t written in a while. I’ve been distracted by another project, and also been working long hours on a proposal at work. But, I saw this answer and had to share it. MSNBC has posted an interested article surprisingly called, The Gift of ADHD. Intrigued by the title, I started reading the article […]

  • Casa Salad

    One of my favorite places to eat in Fort Wayne, Indiana, is Casa’s in Fort Wayne. Today, I was missing their Isalata Casaburo, and decided to make my own. It hit the spot. The taste is uncomplicated and refreshing. The bite sized texture makes it easy to eat – you can almost scoop it up, […]

  • Squeamish About Sushi

    I haven’t done a review in a while, but Sarah picked up a book at the library that I so enjoyed that I needed to share it. The book is called “Squeamish About Sushi: and Other Food Adventures in Japan“, by Betty Reynolds, and is a beautifully illustrated introduction to Japanese food culture.

  • Gleaning Laws for the Modern Age

    I take a perverse pleasure in seeing people discover for themselves wisdom that’s been in the Bible for centuries. Leviticus 19:9-10 “And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest. And thou shalt not glean thy […]

  • Biscotti and Coffee

    This morning, I awoke early – for me, this is 6:00am – and could not go back to sleep. Before I awoke, I was dreaming that I was in a large library (we are going to the library this morning, with our friends Susan and Timothy) and that I saw a man who was struggling […]

  • The Trial Begins

    Well, it seems that the prosecution in our case intends to use our blog as evidence in the trial, and we’ve received selected posts in our packet of evidence, so while I’ve always assumed that anyone in the world could read this, I now have that knowledge in the back of my mind as I […]

  • Quote of the Day; Penne Garden Alfredo

    “EEeeww! Dinner smells like spider!” – Thomas, peering to a pot of boiling chicken broth made from our delicious “Chicken Stuffed with Garlic Butter” grilling experiment, the recipe taken from pages 208-10 of How to Grill: The Complete Illustrated Book of Barbecue Techniques and Recipes by Steven Raichlen. It should be noted that I was […]

  • Treasure Hunting

    We had a great day yesterday! After going to Uncle Andrew and Uncle Peter’s soccer game, we took a borrowed GPS receiver and Sarah, Thomas, Tabitha, Andrew, Peter and myself all drove off to the Struble Trail to go hunt for treasure. Geocaching is a sport/hobby where people go and hide items around the world, […]

  • Trial Starts Tuesday

    Our trial is now scheduled to begin Tuesday, September 27. There really isn’t too much more information that I’m aware of, except for one major issue. Despite our request, the Session has apparently decided to close the trial. I have no idea why they’ve chosen to do this, but Sarah and I are rather concerned […]

  • Controlling Personalities in the Church

    An anonymous source sent me an excellent series on the Wittenberg Gate on spiritual abuse, and the techniques that abusive leaders will use to control the congregation. I don’t know the woman who wrote the article, but she does do a good job listing the traits of manipulative leaders, including some of my favorites like […]

  • Google Trumps the Doctor

    An interesting letter was posted on the Google Blog talking about a couple that used Google to save their premature twins from a dangerous medical procedure soon after birth. Turns out that an apparent complication in the health of one of the twins led the medical team to tell the parents that their son required […]

  • Picture Yourself on a Stamp on a Package

    With your favorite hat and a marmalade tie. Today at the Post Office, I learned how to ship my eBay packages internationally. I also learned that while the Post Office does ship liquid, such as perfume, UPS only will if you have a certificate from the manufacturer stating the item’s flash point. The Postmaster said […]
