This Time, the Change Is Real
A year ago today, I posted on this blog. My first post in 4 years. I noted how I was struck that inspiration always (and only?) strikes in January, through no planning or effort of my own, and here we... Continue reading

4 Years Later
Once again, January works its magic, and here we are. Writing something on this blog. The transportive effect of reading what I wrote in the last post, 2 weeks into 2020, is hard to shake. The first paragraphs, along with... Continue reading

Apple, Google, or Microsoft?
For me, the answer is yes. I try them all, I love them all, I hate them all. Ok, maybe I don’t hate any of them, but the products produced by Apple, Google, and Microsoft elicit some very strong emotions from their users, myself included. Being old enough to remember... Continue reading

Over a year. Wow. That's how long it's been since the last crafting of a blog post. That was January 4, this is January 15. After reading the two posts from last January, I can confidently state that some things... Continue reading

Christ Knew There Was More to the Story
The mercy of the Father is infinite. We know this. But WHY is it infinite? Why does it exist at all? No, I do not claim to know the mind of God. But I do know that people have reasons... Continue reading

Doing Something New This Year
Reflecting on 2018 was a tale of two selves for me. The husband/father, and the rest, i.e. the self. From the perspectives of my “kids” (I place the term in quotes because one just wrapped up her first semester of... Continue reading

The Latin Emperor Who Wrote His Masterpiece in Greek
The student becomes the teacher, and the teacher the student. It is so utterly rewarding to plant a seed, then enjoy the fruits of it years down the road! Five and half years ago, a family decision was unanimously agreed... Continue reading

Commit, or Keep Your Options Open? The Question of Immigration
A recent Catholic Stuff You Should Know podcast (I believe it was this one, but they are all worth listening to!) referenced the importance of the bond of marriage, the ultimate commitment of one's life to another. They beautifully express... Continue reading

100 Years From Now
What will people look back on as obvious, universal truths in one hundred years that are currently divisive debate fodder? Two things come to mind: first, that abortion is barbaric; second, that ObamaCare, aka The Affordable Care Act, was necessary,... Continue reading

Altering the Course of History
"Overthrow the order of ignorance and injustice in the world." - Steven Pressfield, The War of Art It doesn't have to be new. Or better. Just different. An interesting retelling of something useful, to an audience that maybe hasn't heard... Continue reading

Not Settling for Chaos
"You are what you settle for" was a sentiment expressed by Janis Joplin during her final interview. She died of a drug overdose at age 27. By all accounts, she held nothing back during the life she led. Make no... Continue reading

Radical and not market-based, but I think what sometimes derails us is the belief that things have to be all or none, 100% market-based or 100% state-controlled. A hybrid may be the solution. And we're in a hybrid anyway, so why not tweak it? It's probably got something in common with the theory behind minimum wage, but it would be a minimum wage per industry or work type, rather than one universal minimum wage for all jobs across the country (or however minimum wage works). And it's different than unions, because the parties wouldn't be contractually obligated to anything other than a rate of pay for a given job.

Seeing Clearly
"The greatest thing a human soul ever does in this world is to see something and tell what it saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy, and religion, all in one." - John Ruskin This...

Commented Jan 23, 2010 on The Problem with Writing at Faith + Reason = Truth
The Problem with Writing
Writing is entirely too dependent on the reader. You can be the most talented, inspiring, grammatically perfect writer the world has ever produced, but the ability of your written words to convey what you intend to convey is completely subject to the limitations of the reader. The skills of re...
