• Neglecting this blog
  It's come to my attention recently that I've been neglecting this blog. I probably should do something about that. It's not like I've stopped writing or anything. So, I'll try to remember that I actually like writing here and go forward from there.
• In All Things #15 (Gabrielle)
  Today I am thankful for the Church. Yessiree, that there Body of Christ is one wacky bunch. I have been in the church my entire life and I still don't get how it works. Somehow this collection of losers, sinners, arrogant fools, freaks and weirdos all get lumped together and made into something beau
• In All Things #14 (Gabrielle)
  Today I am thankful for clean laundry. It happens so infrequently around here that most of the laundry in the house is cleanish or at least not scattered on anyone's floor that I get really excited when I think it might happen. It never actually happens, of course, because all of the people in this
• In All Things #13 (Gabrielle)
  Today I am thankful for Flyleaf's new album Memento Mori. Their first album was excellent, but they have topped themselves with their second. It's kind of music that makes me want to dance and sing and cry. They understand life and sing about it in song-sized chunks. Pain, fear, glory, Heaven. The l
• Warriors 3 to be part of new Thor movie
  Via Cinematical: The ranks of Asgard are just about full! Marvel Studios reports that the Warriors Three will be joining Thor in all of his frosty battles, and as usual, Kenneth Branagh has done a bang up job with the casting. Stuart Townsend, Tadanobu Asano, and Ray Stevenson have joined the cas

• In All Things #12 (Gabrielle)
  Today I am thankful for late night talks with Seth and Crystal. It seems like some of our best conversations have happened at mumble-thirty or later. Most of the time I'm stupid tired the next day, but I'm usually emotionally settled and back on track to do what I'm here for. Thank you, Seth and
• My Weekend and In All Things #11 (Gabrielle)
  This weekend didn't go quite the way I was expecting. We had a busy couple of days scheduled with Night of the Burning Plum and family coming in from out of town. Crystal and I were gearing up for stashing six more people someplace in this house and then feeding them repeatedly. The Lansberrys were
• The Azeroth Chronicles, B2, Ch.1, pt.3
            It is early morning, and the smoldering embers from the fires of the night before still warm those that sleep.  Korrock is preparing his horse for the long ride out of this cursed land.  You can smell the aromas of fall in the crisp chilly air.  It's a good morning for a warrio

• Hi Everyone - Another memory -- this one of Miss Cassidy and Gary Johnson...it was probably fifth or sixth grade and Gary raised his hand and said "Miss Cassidy, Sophie just called me a queer" and Miss Cassidy put her hand on her hip and said back, "Truth hurts, don't it, Johnson." We were shocked (More)
• well yeah.. but then we'd pretend where we'd spend our share of the 'loot'. (More)
• Hey guys, was it something I said? No one is writing. I need my blog fix at least once a day. Oh, Joe, where are you? I need you to make me laugh. I hope everyone is OK, I'm kinda lost without you guys. SOMEBODY WRITE!! Love you all, Julia (More)

• Soledad O’Brien is such a phony. In April 2008, Reverend Jeremiah Wright gave a speech in Detroit to the NAACP.  One of the things that  he said in this speech was that black and white children learn with different parts of their brain, and then gave an "unflattering imitation of the way white (More)
• Dingeldine Hall at Bradley. Had to "google street map" this to be sure. (More)
• That pipeline was built to transport petroleum products from barges to the Amoco and Mobile Oil tank farms built in that area in 1947-1948. (More)
• This is why I think that in the new heavens and the new earth we will all be naked. There's no way dirty laundry can exist in a perfect world. (More)
• Hey Gayle, glad to see you got on board. You talked about what Miss Ballard did, do you remember Mr. Weber. He was something else. In sixth grade, Gary Hale pestered me to death. I would go up and complain and Mr. Weber would get on to him and in about 5 minutes, it would all start over again. (More)
• Hello sisters of mine. Welcome. Never said I wanted to go back in time. But most of us would agree, it's a great place to visit. Julia, you'll have to get them set up on the other web site now. Now this is no longer my "special place" but one I'll be sharing with the "two pretty ones" Julie (More)
