The time has come again…
2006.01.23
Yep. I’m between books, and the urge is upon me. It’s time to read Lord of the Rings again. Believe it or not, I have more to say on this, but it will have to wait until a later date.
A Dark And Quiet Room
Just a quiet corner of the Net where I will come to sit and think and write. Maybe you will find that I have something worthwhile to say.
What I'm Doing...
- On a date with @sistercrystal! Yay! 1 hr ago
- For those who were asking earlier about "flow": http://bit.ly/2trmfa) 3 hrs ago
- Had a conversation with the older kids about the philosophical underpinnings of Frankenstein and Dracula. 3 hrs ago
- Walked home from the piano recital with Samuel. This became a discussion of situational awareness in the urban environment. A good time. 3 hrs ago
- Being a Sergeant gives a +1 in close assault! This matters a lot! (Well, next time I play Space Hulk, it will.) 7 hrs ago
- More updates...

Citizen Journalism from your neighbors
- The Blog Peoria Project can save you THOUSANDS of dollars October 21, 2009It has come to my attention that people attend conferences about blogging.

Now, what could you POSSIBLY get from reading that book a second time?
mmmmm…. Tom Bombadil….
Second time? I’ve already read it a second time.
Try…uh…twelfth time?
Yea! I’m looking forward to seeing what you glean from the books this time through. I’m re-reading the Chronicles of Narnia now and let me tell you, some books will just never get old! It’s totally spiffy the way God used these authors to help us understand Him and this life more.
Do you think they are both in heaven now?
i love that word… twelfth.
