Meredith did it and rightfully so feels guilty about it. George unwittingly juggernauted through the open window. Understandable, but not what you’d wish for him, as we all shouted “Don’t DO IT, George!” Parenthetically, Izzy’s hot. Guess McSteamy got sent back to the rock he crawled out from under. And the whole poison ivy with [...]

They’ve priced them as stand alone or as packaged with all kinds of goodies specific to any particular occasion – The first ten purchases will receive an extra 4″ stand-alone pot at half price. Woohoo! You can send any questions to Itsapotzability@yahoo.com. [...]

I have been remiss in not mentioning that my wife and our “sweetest” friend ever, Lindsay (thanks a million for the cut – I owe ‘ya), have a little business venture going – I will post some pics soon to show some samples of their work so everyone can buy 20 of each. Trust me [...]

Re-enchantment

Carn-dog’s recent post about the economics of mystery got me to thinking how science, much less than demystifying and disenchanting, can (ought to) actually contribute to re-enchanting us about faith and rationality. Teasing out these seeming contradistinctions, I’m reminded that all great scientific work and discovery is birthed in wonder and awe, despite the [...]

Why is it so cold?

It’s warming up here in Freezuasses, Texas, so says the weatherman, as he promises “33 degrees until 6am, and possibly warming up even more after that”. There’s something hollow in his promise, though strangely, I want to believe, no, cling to it. I want to believe it’s the truth this time, as opposed to all [...]

A few random thoughts…..

Nelson still seems depressed. No entry, none at all, can be found in his journal for a few days now. Bernard, the new arriver, continues to bully him in hopes that he’ll follow through with his plan to join the circus. We’re doing what we can to interfere with this plan and [...]

What’s your passion?

I lifted this from Julia Sweeney’s blog, my favoritest blog right now. It is simply, to use a carn-dog word, “eloquent”.
From the prologue to Bertrand Russell’s Autobiography:
What I Have Lived For.Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and the unbearable pity for the suffering [...]

It’s a dog’s life

A really quick post because Nelson doesn’t know yet we’ve discovered his journal, and after quoting his notes I have to get it back into his blanket before he comes in from the backyard. I wouldn’t want him to think he’s lost his last bit of personal privacy on top of the trauma he’s been [...]

Dog Days

There’s turmoil at home. A couple of weeks back, the wife found “Bernard”, not his given name but he seems to respond to it, wandering the streets of East Waco. Bernard was not only homeless but flea-ridden and, for a scraggily perched-ear mutt, fairly cute. So what does a creature-conscious activist wife and mother do…but [...]

What I say?

Although instinctively I tend to be a bit suspicious whenever religious conservatives “mobilize”….the article below is from Reuters. Let’s face it, our exploitative environmental habits are desperately in need of healing. The prevalent self-destructive “domination” paradigm is of particular and personal concern to me from a parent’s point-of-view. At the rate we’re going, I worry [...]
