Pocket-Sized Feast Enabler
I finally bought myself a pocket-sized TNIV today. It is soft. It looks like a Boeing 737. It is not going to weigh down my bike ride. In truth, I was drawn to the name of its outer “style,” the Italian Duo-Tone. I am Italian. We can be a duo. I realized today that it […]

Oh Reader, Be My iTunes Doctor
Well, Pearl the iBook has returned home after her heart-surgery. She is made new. But her hard-drive heart was given a fresh transplant. Translation: I’ve lost some of my favorite iTunes albums that I foolishly did not backup. Sure, I backed up the important documents and such, but some mp3’s I’d purchased missed the rescue […]

When it Rains in My City
When it rains, I must ask others to drive me to work. On days when the rain comes suddenly, they give my bike a ride, too. I like the rainy day car conversations. They come as unexpectedly as the rain. We sit and squint through the wipers in the front seat, and the periwinkle Schwinn […]

So Unconcernedly Still and Wide
These days I am finding that the Spirit talks to me just as loudly through old poets as through ancient Scripture. I wrote this down a few days before the New year, as I re-read Letters to a Young Poet. There is so much that we are waiting for, but there is no measuring with […]

Hold the Phones (Again) + Apples of Gold
Hold the phones (again) people! My dear friend, Sarah Painter Constable, is now blogging her way through life in New York City. The brilliant actor-woman herself has already even posted some pre-screened movie reviews to help you decide what is worth your time in 2008. Check out her stuff: The Joy Year. This only strengthens […]

Oh, February Comes With Pictures.
I would like to offer an explanation for the unnecessarily narcissistic new header. I have decided that in February I will let this blog rest from words. I will continue to post, but without any paragraphs. I am going to do a photo-a-day February, and see what happens. I will likely put a word or […]

Quiet Now, God’s Calling – Synchroblog
This post is part of a global Synchroblog on the (hefty) topic of “God’s Choice in Using the Foolish and Our Understanding of Calling.” Be sure to check out the list of other writers at the end of this post, as each will have a unique spin on this topic. If you’d like to participate […]

Resolutions for You, 2008
In an effort to live more transparently, I offer you the resolutions/goals that I’ve finally settled on for this year. Have you any of your own? Give me the link or the list… 1. Run in a race that I have no business running in. Train, enjoy, laugh a lot at myself. 2. Audit as […]

Streams for Sunday: Incubators are Good.
I have decided to go on a 10-week travel fast. Pasadena is a good incubator. I will do my best to not leave you, City of Roses.

Woman vs. Machine/I Will Change Your Name, You Shall No Longer Be Called
I do enjoy the brand new Leopard operating system. I do not enjoy that my Mail application will not (all of a sudden) send my mail. I should confess, when something on my Mac is acting fishy, I am a bit like that fatherly-type lost in suburbia, so awfully unwilling to make a quick stop […]

Say “Parmigiano”
And so, the Klein family and I cheese (remarkably) into the iSight camera as we unpack the new Apple. It was a household affair. I love these people.

Raise Your Hand If You’re Happy
My iBook, Pearl, is quite sick. Since before Christmas she’s been at the throes of the-not-booting-up-cancer. The Apple doctors aren’t sure when surgery will begin. But my work needed a working computer two weeks ago. So, I found her a companion. His name is Adam. He is tough. I didn’t really expect to walk out […]
