Up until very recently I would have told you that my geekness had reached its zenith. My geek cred had risen to a point and then begun to fall as I surrounded myself with people far geekier than I. I used to consider myself a top-notch geek, but then I met some others and discovered [...]

If I could just convince God to hand over a detailed five-year itinerary every so often, then I would glide through each transition in my life without a single misstep. But I know what would come next: I would wave airily and begin walking away. “Thanks God,” I’d call over my shoulder. “See you later.” [...]

I am not very musical. That is, I can’t play an instrument, I don’t write songs and I don’t write music. Other than that I am actually very musical. I listen to music throughout the day and will frequently launch into song, though perhaps not as frequently as Raquel.
I like tailoring what I’m listening [...]

There was a movie made a couple of years ago called Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. As soon as I saw the trailer for it I knew I wanted to see this movie and I was pretty sure I would love it. I got it, I watched, I loved it. The story was different than I [...]

Last night Raquel and I went out to dinner as sort of a “You’re leaving for two and a half weeks so we should do something fun” celebration. We went to FlatTop Grill then wandered over to Borders that was having a fun clearance sale. I found Eats, Shoots and Leaves in the clearance box [...]

Last night at Tuesday Night Dinner (also known as Wednesday Night Dinner on Tuesday) a discussion broke out about ‘christian’ words, and what they mean the way people really talk. I thought of this again this morning as I was trying to formulate an update on twitter.

Our family had big plans for Independence Day. We were going to sit on the front porch with a cooler full of soda and beer and be hospitable to all the people out and about. Last year there was a lot of activity on our street and this year we were going to be a [...]

How is it progress when I can’t do my work because I’m holding a baby? How is it a sign that things are getting better around here when I’m home alone with six children instead of five? When did my ambitions change so that if I can get a two-month-old’s belly fullish I’m doing [...]

I was telling a friend that it seemed like I’d learned stuff over the past few years of my life, but it was hard to tell it to anyone because it just seemed trite and obvious when I tried to put it into words. On further reflection, everything I’ve learned is still true, even [...]
