You know, I just read over my blog again, from post the first, to post the last. I don’t know why, but after reading it all, I think I don’t need to worry about my life as much.
It’s like seeing the progression of all the little quirks and idiosyncrasies, and loves and irritations, and soliloquies [...]

Hybrids or Hypermiling?
The picture above is of my beloved car, Skittles. It was named Skittles because on a roadtrip, I spilled a bag of the aforementioned candy all over the floor of said car, and when my friends rode in my car, they found a lot of Skittles. Hence the name.
ANYWAY, Skittles is a wonderful little inline [...]

The Post
I think it’s high time that this blog had a mailbag. I don’t doubt that I’ll only occasionally get one good, meaningful letter in that mailbag, and in the meantime, a million, billion spam. That’s the way it always is. But the truth remains nonetheless.
And that truth is that I’d like to hear what my [...]

Sliver of Silver (Stargazing Siblings)
And the moon was a sliver of silver
Like a shaving that fell on the floor of a carpenter’s shop
Every house must have it’s builder
And I awoke in the house of God
With the windows of morning and evening
Stretched from the sun across the sky north to south
On my way to early meeting
I heard the rocks crying [...]

Summer, Gardening, and Global Warming
I love summer. Especially here in Colorado; it never really gets as hot as the rest of the country, so we’re able to enjoy a lot of outdoors activities without any of the drawbacks. I’ve been walking nearly every day. Sometimes I walk around our neighborhood, but if I can, I love to drive across [...]

An Interlude Born Again
“This is what it means to be born again: to fully and completely disengage with the preconceptions and preoccupations of the adult world and its religions, to dismantle all laws – of physics and society – and yield yourself to the birth canal, and what comes after, in which everything begins to shake and tremble [...]

We Never Change
Coldplay is coming out with their next album on the 17th of June. I wish I were cold and calculated, and could say something really snarky about the songs I’ve heard so far. I wish that I wasn’t a gushing fanboy who looks like a fool to all the smart music people in the world.
But [...]

The Shadow Of the Almighty
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the LORD, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under [...]

The Night as Bright as Day
It’s rather amazing, but in the northern hemisphere, the earth is at such a strange angle to the sun, that days and nights take on different meanings that most of us on the continental United States wouldn’t understand. During the winter, it’s unusually dark for most of the day, with only a bit of light [...]
