A hectic day today of a few errands and much packing, all currently staged in the dining room for loading into the car and the van in the A.M. Some logistical planning for airport runs, meals, etc, later in the week. Got a sneak preview of the wedding cake topper by our friend Stewart–let’s just [...]

A curious article in the NY Times caught my eye today. The Federal Bureau of Prisons has come up with an “approved list” of religious readings for chapel libraries. Although the list includes a wide range of dogma and doctrines, it is nonetheless eliciting condemnation on both the right and left, and is the subject [...]

The Snow Building, the art deco palace where I spend my daytime hours, is in the process of being sold.

Now all I have to do is install the photo gallery software on my hosting [...]

The wedding plans continue apace, with a lovely shower on Sunday (Thanks, Emily!) on a sunny, less-than-95 degree day. I put in the order for the flowers, which in keeping with everything else about this wedding, are non-traditional: at least they are east of Hawaii, which is where they’re being fedexed from. Mr. Dependable came [...]

I just sent out an email to a number of friends, family and acquaintances tonight, telling them about this blog. Some make a living in the online community space; others are still wrestling with email. Regardless, welcome all, comment if the spirit moves you, and if you have a blog or website of your own, [...]

Now that the hot mornings and hazardous air days are behind us, I’ve taken to exercising outdoors again. My run this morning took me through streets lined with litter. Not just the random gum wrapper or cigarette butt, but the remnants of entire fast-food meals, grocery store packaging, you name it. The busiest street I [...]
