Good news and bad news
The good news is that the abortion rate, the number of abortions per 1000 women, has dropped to its lowest point since 1973. More and more, women are rejecting abortion. More and more, Americans realize that abortion is not the solution to difficult circumstances. Lives are being saved. The bad news is that even though […]

The Superbowl is messing with my Groundhog Day
I realize this is a high holy day in the football religion. Lots of pomp. Lots of circumstance. Lots of messing with my traditions. Today I like to eat sausage-themed foods, pay too much attention to the habits of a Yankee rodent, and watch one of the finest holiday/philosophical/themes for a generation (that’d be Gen […]

End of the day ruminations
We did quite a bit of traveling today, and then quite a bit of other stuff. The result is I am beat and less than an hour from breaking my chain. We can’t have that, so I give you a quote from the book A Year with C.S. Lewis (af) . This has been bouncing […]

Fine Arts Friday: Free stuff!
The Getty Publications is offering over 250 art volumes as free downloads. A myriad of topics are covered, from Pieter de Hooch to Ancient Gems and Finger Rings. That got me thinking about other fine arts resources available for free. I feel rather strongly that while information may want to be free and whatnot, violating copyright […]

Empty Shelf Challenge: Crazy Love
The third book on my shelf is another book for the Mother-Daughter book club/project/thing* I’m doing with my daughters. I really need to finish some of the others or this shelf will be all about them. Which I guess wouldn’t be a bad thing. Before I get to the book, I thought I’d back up […]

When I can’t engage the culture
I watched neither the Grammys nor the State of the Union. I didn’t watch the State of the Union because blah, blah, blah nothing new. I didn’t watch the Grammys for a couple of reasons. First, I don’t really care about celebrity or pop culture and can’t imagine devoting several hours of my time to […]

Terrible Tuesday: Weather mood swings.
Sunday, the highs were in the mid-70s. Yesterday the lows were in the high-20s. It’ll be in the 60s again by Thursday. We may get snow next week. It’s making me woozy. Hot and cold links! Speaking of cold, a neurobiologist thinks central heating may contribute to obesity. Hmm. Homeschool Barbie! I giggled. A British […]

Pondering over a picture
This image came from the ongoing political protests in Ukraine. I’ll admit I don’t really know what’s going on there. The government has banned protests in Kyiv, creepy text messages have been sent to protesters, and people have died. But I don’t know the whys and wherefores of the disagreement. (If anyone has a good sum-up, […]

Strange bedfellows
This week in my Communities Digital News, I write about National School Choice Week. In just a little while, Tea Party favorite Sen. Ted Cruz will join the progressive congresswoman Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee at the kick-off rally in Houston. A look at the events being held around the country shows us that urban and […]
