It was Good.
I made a tasty lunch today. Wish you were here. Grilled goat-cheese sandwich and greens with iced blueberry blackberry infusion tea.

Explosions in the Sky, I am [a]live
It is finals week. Last night I shoved aside my papers and went down to see Explosions in the Sky play the Wiltern. It was clearly one of the top 5 shows I’ve ever seen. You’d think that a five-piece instrumental (post?) rock band would fantastically bore one to tears. But last night these soft-spoken […]

Redemptive Golf-team R.I.P.
My alma mater, UMBC, is headed to the NCAA division I basketball tournament for the first time. This is a very big deal for our very young Baltimore university. I only mention it because the year I graduated, UMBC chose to take away funding from a handful of smaller Varsity programs–including the womens’ golf team […]

Unpicked, Day twelve.
I was torn on day twelve, because I really wanted to post this photo of my room, but the sunset that evening was just too nice. I took this particular photo to point out a few things: 1. Boxes from your new printer and iMac plus colorful Portuguese scarves make for fast, good, cheap shelves. […]

Unpicked, Day ten.
On day ten, I started to realized that my simple little camera was helping me to see how pretty the trees really are.

Unpicked, Day eight.
Before I moved to L.A. I didn’t know a thing about the Chinese New Year. Now I think I will forever associate February with dumplings and pot-stickers. (And those little red envelopes that could be stuffed with cash.) On day eight, as I arrived at my third Chinese New Year party in one week, the […]

Unpicked, Day seven.
I was wandering through the Fuller library on day seven, and this group of books felt like an appropriate parody of Christian education. Perhaps we need a better paradigm of what it means to educate the whole self, rather than just engaging the mind. That was, in part, what led to the real photo on […]

Unpicked, Day two.
It was the morning of day two when our cat, Ziggy, went climbing. He’s really into trees. It was only the fourth time he’d climbed up a tree since the New Year. We didn’t call the fire department. We trust him. He always comes in by curfew.

February Photos, The Unpicked Ones.
For those of you who have a heart for the marginalized, who love Luke’s gospel the most, and/or always got picked last in dodge-ball, the following blog series is for you. Last month, I followed some simple rules for my Photo-a-Day February. In following those rules, however, some photos had to be, as it were, […]

A Sort of Finish Line
This evening as I rode up the hill after work, I stopped at the last quiet intersection, as always. Only this evening, there was one extra hour of Daylight Savings in the sky. (I like to think of it as on deposit. Each day the sky earns about one more minute.) As if the Savings […]

Rachel, Rachel, Roses, Roses.
Three things I read this evening which I deem to be notably funny. (As in, funny “ha-ha,” not funny “oh, gross.”): 1. Rachel Chester’s suggestions on how to improve US airline travel, following her recent trip to Texas. She is a little bundle of texas riot bundled up in NYC. She is also a WordPress […]
