Hypothetically Speaking: Where has my Mojo Gone?

Hypothetically Speaking: Where has my Mojo Gone? I haven’t been a very good blogger lately. Let’s just say: I haven’t got my creative blogging mojo on. I think perhaps my creative blogging mojo is clashing with my lazy the-kids-are-finally-in-bed-and-now-I-just-want-to-watch-bad-TV-or wait!-read-a-trashy-magazine-or wait!-maybe-I’ll-stretch-a-brain-cell-while-still-being-lazy-and-do-the-crossword-puzzle-from-the-newspaper outfit that I’ve been wearin’ for a few days in […]

#562 - Olfactory

It’s interesting how some animals rely on their sense of smell over their sight. I wonder what the human world would be like if that was the case with us. I wonder if we would be able to travel at high speeds in a car while using our sense of smell as navigation. […]

Well Shit

Unbloggable, Unbelievable, Inconceivable, Beyond Description Shit. Health-related. Everything else is okay. Pillar is great (thanks be to God!), boys are great, cats a deep blessing everyday.

Brain-damaged historians

(x-posted.) Somewhere in Silas Weir Mitchell’s voluminous correspondence on the brain damage of Civil War veterans—my notes are in California, I’m now in Texas—is an account of a Confederate soldier whose bullet-struck head recoiled into a dry-stone wall and performed a fortuitous auto-trepanation. The insult to his brain had been mitigated by […]

Air Racing > Groung Racing

This might just be the coolest thing I’ve seen all year. Auto racing is for wimps, rocket racing is for real men.

Chick Flick

One of the best things about respite care in my family seat – apart from being surrounded by friends and family, and the parents doing their proper duty and tending to my every need and whim – is the hen house. Or, more precisely, the fresh eggs every day from happy hens […]

No justice for victims’ families

No justice for victims’ families Frank Smist’s letter (7/28) asking where’s the justice for the families of murder victims Kelsey Smith and Ann Harrison was right on the mark.
