    Yesterday in church, the message included a question. (OK, it always does but this one I want to write about) Well, lemme go back a bit. We are in the Lenten season, forty days before Easter. (Just removed my description of what it means, Google is your friend here) Tod will be teaching on/about discipleship…

    This is one of those catch phrases so often bandied about it makes me cringe. Most likely come up with by some marketing guys who’s entire existence and effort at life is to squeeze stuff into very limiting and strictly defined boxes! Go figure. (another cliche to leave me guessing) There are some great times…

    Well, I forgot about this. 8 months today. On the calender system.  Funny, today I have to go to court against  my old sponsor. Well, not funny at all. Might I suggest never mixing your AA program and employment? Sponsor-less, stuck in the middle of my fourth step and really thinking I need to go…

    The problem is this, one of the two people in a relationship is always more invested than the other. (I took that terminology from an acquaintance of mine. I would have said ‘one cares more than the other’ but invested sounds more modern, educated and quite frankly, cold as hell.) There seems to be some…

    As you know, I have one of those Mail Order Minister cards. I actually did it back when it was through the mail, envelopes you had to lick, stamps, the whole mail thing. Really. Some day I will comment on the irony of being ‘ordained’ and an atheist. Some day. No longer practicing that belief.…

    Yea, I had a feeling. Sure wish he had seen it Sunday. Then again, if I was doing it right, it would be right every night. So it goes. http://www.backstage.com/bso/search/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003701214 He was nice about it. Short and to the point.

    Pride is a bad thing right? Deadly sin an all that. Makes a person unattractive and generally hard to be around. Clouds the perspective of the prideful person as well. So then… …what do you do when someone tells you how well/good/nice you have done something and end this little bit of praise with, “You…

    Well, I am here to say, I’ve not much to say. This could become a problem if it continues. After all, this is hardly a site visited for enlightenment or knowledge. Just a place where you can find out about my latest. If I have not latest, no reason for you to visit. Then again,…

    Wow. What a very long ten days. In theater, the week before you opening, usually starts with tech day, is often referred to as Hell Week. For many years I have found that amusing as it seemed only to be hell for those around me. The tech team (if you had a team- sometimes just…

    I have one more theater commitment this calender year. Some summer thing. Then I am done! If you ever see anything in here even close to suggesting I am in anyway involved with anything to do with theater, point me to the little black spy capsule! I am finished with this. added too, amended or…
