Epossumondas
Posted in Uncategorized on March 29, 2006 | 6 Comments »
Tonight I got to read to my daughter about “Why Epossumondas Has No Hair…On His Tail” and then she read to me about the “Five Little Monkeys and Their Grandma Bessie”. After much thought, Epossumondas began to wonder why his tail wasn’t white and powder-puff fluffy like Hare’s, or black-and-white and thick like Skunk’s, or [...]

My good friend, Scott, posted recently about dissonance in the rather polemical conversation surrounding the topic of abortion here: http://n2justice.blogspot.com .

I love what Ben Dudley said this morning at UBC on the three year anniversary of the Iraq war. Despite where you line up politically, we can all agree on the universal imperative to accept his charge that “We must pray for peace”. Thanks, Ben!

Carn-Dog and Lindsay. Me, Betsy and our 5 yr. old daughter, Annie.
A Friday night.
Chili’s Too restaurant. Food all around just served at our table as we chat about nothing in particular.
One of us, don’t remember who or why now, says to Carney: “You’d better watch that Josh…you don’t know what God’ll do.” In that smartass [...]
Red and Blue

In Washington, the political classes color America blue or red, reducing everyone and every place to their political schema. Florida and Utah, for example, are red.
