I picked up a remaindered book by Michael Connelly a month or two ago. The Narrows was published in 2004 and shrink wrapped with a DVD titled “Blue Neon Night: Michael Connelly’s Los Angeles.” On it, Connelly tells a bit about the detective he writes about: Harry Bosch. Excerpts from his stories are read asContinue reading “The Best Music You’ve Never Heard”

That '70s Stuff
In 1977, I was 26 and had been married a year. See how I dressed and my dining room on the 15 Minute Lunch blog here. After this, go watch Battle of the Network Stars II. Fifteen year old Kristy McNichol is so cute.

We Don't Own a Boat
Two of the happiest days in one’s life are the day one gets a boat… Mary had a sailboat. The storms during the winter had reduced the number of functional cleats to one. During Mary’s ownership, it sank twice (Note the black tube on the starboard side–this is connected to a bilge pump). If itContinue reading “We Don't Own a Boat”

In that time that we Americans define as summer, Clear Lake squeals (see my previous discussion in Anthropology 101), throbs withContinue reading “There's something you don't see everyday, Edgar”

No need for coffee, now you can get caffeine right in your oatmeal
Coffee just too much to deal with in the morning? All that measuring, filling, gurgling, etc., not to mention all that drinking of a liquid that you’ll just need to deal with later. You say to yourself, ‘what if there was something caffeinated that could stick to my ribs?’ Great news! Now there is caffeinatedContinue reading “No need for coffee, now you can get caffeine right in your oatmeal”
Alphasmart in the car
My friend Carl celebrated his 30th anniversary in ministry Sunday. Carl’s been at St. Luke’s Lutheran (ELCA) for about 15 years; he’s one of the most grounded and compassionate people I know. I met Carl, wife Triss, and daughter Holly when Carl answered the call for pastoring at Trinity Lutheran in Porterville, CA where IContinue reading “Alphasmart in the car”
