Last night when I got home, I felt like I’d been to the end of the world and back. Literally … and figuratively, too, in some way or another. Interpret that however you please. I still have to figure some things out. But not as much as before. Life is looking up right now.
I’m blogging from Gate A2 of the Washington/Dulles International Airport. There’s still an hour and a half until my flight on Independence Air, but I’m ready for it to be over already. Dad looked up all kinds of information up on his iBook for me before I left, mostly stuff I’d already found and printed […]
I just voted. In Baltimore County, we use the new Diebold electronic voting machines which are little more than tablet computers, hackable by monkeys, and powered — apparently — by Windows. Scary, huh? I will concede that they were surprisingly easy to use, though the UI was a tad ugly. I really would have liked […]
I got invited to my first-ever Halloween party this year (it’s about time). A girl at church is throwing it for what is turning out to be basically the members of our Sunday School class (and a few friends). Although our family’s made a point of not celebrating Halloween in the past, I figure that […]
Never go into Radio Shack unshaven, wearing a hooded sweatshirt, and then accidentally set off a shoplifting alarm. It makes them look at you funny.
After reading about this new keychain-based gizmo, I ordered one on the spot: It does nothing but turn TVs off. Seriously, that’s all it does, is just universally, completely, truly attempts to shut down just about every TV around (and it’s rarely unsuccessful). Besides, it might help prevent more of The Machines from achieving self-awareness […]
Jennifer says: I found an old cd tonight and with the finding came a bundle of memories. Choose Life by Big Tent Revival. The minute my fingers slipped it into my car stereo, I felt like I was back in college. Careful: the music you listen to will imperceptibly and unconsciously brand itself with your […]
On Thursday, I helped Stuart & Lori pack their moving van to move to Ohio. They are moving because they want a yard for Kayla to play in while she grows up, and because it’s cheaper to live there. I did not have enough gas to drive back from their old house. See, my ‘new’ […]
My little sister Sarah has suddenly decided she likes to play the piano and sing. She’s doing it right now for me to listen. She’s singing and playing all five verses of Amazing Grace. Granted, she’s mostly playing one note at a time. But she’s singing wonderfully. I can’t understand how an 8-year-old raised in […]
Dr. Pell had moved from merely trying to gather enough people for a group ticket discount, and was now also trying to collect money from those who’d already signed up. “So the Newsboys concert is November 4th, at the Patriot Center. It’s them, Rebecca St. James, and one other group.” Josh became suddenly more animated […]
