I have been in an endless loop of frustration lately. Frustrated that I have too many balls in the air and I keep dropping the damn things on my head. Frustrated about my failings, about the backlog of things that have to be done, and about the list of things I ought to do but […]

My friend Jimmie tweeted this awesome picture about the latest government kerfuffle. Yes, the GOP rolled over again on borrowing more money. Same story, different day. Blah blah blah. George Santayana famously said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” On the other hand, perhaps I see too much of the […]

Uncooperative computer, delayed day because of freezing rain, general mayhem. This day mocks my plans. FINE! Roll-with-the-punches links! A bittersweet story about a man who has fed thousands and thousands of people in Houston for three decades. I really hope someone(s) step up to take his place. “Schooling ain’t learning.” Although this is talking specifically […]

Well, not everything, but a lot. And I actually didn’t read it; I listened to the audio book. So yes, this picture is a lie. But after three books on my Kindle, I wanted something on my shelf. And I will get around to actually reading it. Just a note: The audio book is […]

Among homeschoolers, February has a reputation for being the worst month ever. Whatever resolutions we’ve made have been broken; momentum is stalled; it’s cold and dark and miserable. Ugh. February.

There are serious and legitimate concerns about the Russian government’s abuse of their people, terrorist threats, and the media acting as propaganda and covering it all up. As was the case at the Beijing Olympics, activists say that the Olympics allow […]

Time for new songs for a new month. I’ve pretty much abandoned the Ambleside rotation this month and instead have chosen things that fit with our other studies. For our hymn this month, I chose one to go along with a sermon series our church is doing on revival. The key verse of Psalm 85:6 […]

Yay! The first real snow of the year for us. Sure we had a nasty ice thing early this winter, but ice isn’t much fun. Snow, however . . . We are fond of eating snow. PDE5 Inhibitors mainly discount viagra detached in the even muscle zones such as lungs & penis & unwind the […]

My fourth book for the Empty Shelf Challenge is not part of the mother-daughter book club. Oddly, I chose this sci-fi tale because of Beth Moore. What? Beth Moore, the bible study lady? Yes, that Beth Moore. I was feeling guilty about downloading a bunch of free kindle books that she was offering on Amazon […]

We’ve been in my hometown of Odessa the past few days, but now we’re headed home. In fact, we should be precisely in the middle of nowhere right about now. Endless horizon links! Oh, scientists, never change: Peanut butter and jelly fish! The definition of “off the rails”: a primary school in England suspended a […]
