Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and start all over again.
January 1st has come and The Rules state you must have a New Year’s Resolution. If you’re at a loss for New Year’s Resolutions, here’s a handy list to choose from. I’m partial to “Plant a tree and then cut it down in an Arbor Day protest.” This is my resolution: To do better. That’s […]

On the 7th Day of Christmas…
Back in November, MTG and I went to the Zac Brown Band concert. (Wait, what? What does that have to do with Christmas? Be patient. I’m explaining your gift.) Ahem. One of the artists who opened for ZBB (fantastic show, BTW) was Sonia Leigh. The other opening act was okay, but she was WOW amazing. […]

On the sixth day of Christmas…
So much better than geese a laying, geese a marching! On the 4th day of Christmas, I got busy. On the fifth day of Christmas, I got sick. (I’m still feeling trop gross, but here I am.) Yesterday was also the anniversary of Texas becoming a state. You’re welcome, rest of America. My big plans […]

Who’s that writing?
John the Revelator! It’s the Third Day of Christmas, home of three French Hens and Feast Day of John the Revelator. (Thanks for the heads up, Blaine!) I tried to find the electric version, but there isn’t anything of good quality online. This is a taste, but obviously doesn’t do him justice. But if you […]

On the second day of Christmas…
I survived the Advent season and made it to Christmas. I know that’s the wrong attitude to take and not in all in keeping with a “prepare your heart of the coming of our Lord” attitude that Advent is supposed to represent. But honestly, the unrelenting busyness of the pre-Christmas season is almost overwhelming. I […]

A review and a contest! Or vice-versa.
Home schooler are suppose to study Latin. It’s in the charter. Moms must wear denim jumpers, and the children are suppose to study Latin. There’s an optional woodworking clause, but Latin is a must. Since I don’t even own a denim jumper (gasp!), the kids had better study Latin or we’re kicked out of the […]

70 years ago today
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s speech to Congress: “Mr. Vice President, Mr. Speaker, Members of the Senate, of the House of Representatives: Yesterday, December 7, 1941 – a date which will live in infamy – the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The […]

It’s beginning to smell a lot like Christmas
Friday nights are pizza and movie nights for our family. Tonight we pulled out the first Christmas movie, The Polar Express. Of course we’ve been listening to Christmas music and reading Christmas books, but I think this is the first Christmas movie we’ve actually watched this year. Which is a little odd for us, but […]

Real funny, God.
The human body is a marvel and thanks to Science! and technology (“Technology!”?), we are becoming aware of how much more marvelous it is than we had ever imagined. The complexity of the design truly is awe inspiring. Mathematician Alexander Tsiaras recently gave a TED Talk presenting human life from conception to birth. It is […]

Happy sigh of relief
First things first: Did you have a happy Thanksgiving? We had a very nice holiday with my family at my brother’s house in Houston. The kids are all far too big and my niece is a college freshman and technically an adult. That’s disturbing. Oh yes, and my nephew towers over us all. Very disturbing. […]
