Posted on May 7, 2009 by K

Truth told, I never did pay much attention to Ludwig Wittkenstein, even after I’d seen Max Dugan Returns for the tenth time.  Until Sunday.  When he (not Dugan) showed up in Red and Rover and charmed my go-to-meetin’ socks off. … Continue reading →

Saplings

Posted on May 3, 2009 by K

                 I took myself by surprise this morning. I had been fasting; we all fast on the first Sunday of every month, the entire LDS world wide church, two meals.  We do this because … Continue reading →

Book Review: Three Cups of Tea

Posted on April 30, 2009 by K

I don’t read non-fiction.  Like contracts and warrantees and instruction manuals.  Like informational books.  Reading this stuff gives me anxiety.  Like the summer I read Protein Power (Eades), the 678 page GoLive manual and the Zone, all in a couple … Continue reading →

Posted on April 20, 2009 by K

Easter

Posted on April 16, 2009 by K

First of all, may I tell you that after all that snow yesterday, the sun came out and melted it all?  We went to bed looking forward to more spring, which we thought would come bounding back today.  Ummm.  At … Continue reading →

Needles and wings

Posted on April 13, 2009 by K

I don’t know why this would be, but at this moment, this very moment in time, I feel great.  It doesn’t make any sense, because I’ve been dragging around here half awake for months.  Maybe it’s because the sun’s out … Continue reading →
