I will admit I was rather impressed by this Disney Pixar movie. The concept is relatively simple, but the movie itself is filled with a lot of nuance and details. The concept of headquarters and the console is very well done. The introductions of the emotions and what they do is informative and entertaining. But … Continue reading Inside Out
Author: Sir Rhodri
Creational and relational type Renaissance man (writer, singer, thinker) holding to C.S Lewis's credo that if you follow truth originality takes care of itself, (anyway, originality is so yesterday, anyway.) That I have my wonderful wife Jasini is proof enough for me that life isn't fair. If it was fair I wouldn't have her, and instead she is my most faithful example that I am blessed beyond measure. My two adult children are the same unmerited blessing to me. We should all be thankful life is not fair but blessed.
#70: Holy, Holy Holy
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) Today's hymn is probably one of the select hymns that is widely known. It is also one of those hymns that has solid, obvious theology as its theme. This is a joyous celebration of the Trinity, a mystery of the … Continue reading #70: Holy, Holy Holy
In case it wasn’t clear the first time …
I posted a blog back in November about what science really is, what it can and cannot prove. Unfortunately the whole world didn't get a chance to read and understand it, so I am still capable of running into people who make the same mistake about science. In the middle of a wonderful scriptural exegisis recently I … Continue reading In case it wasn’t clear the first time …
Fitness Update: taking advantage of a warm February
Last week was a warm week for February -- some might say unseasonably warm for Missouri -- though when you look at the stats, we may get more weather like this in February than we remember. It just isn't something you can count on. That said, a lot of people got out to exercise and … Continue reading Fitness Update: taking advantage of a warm February

Silver Bells — lessons in being American
One of my favorite movie scenes is the "Silver Bells" scene from the movie The Lemon Drop Kid. To me it as one of those all-American type scenes. And it is a scene that could never be made today. The scene paints what some might call a Norman Rockwell type Christmas scene that the main … Continue reading Silver Bells — lessons in being American
A Blast of the Past #35: G.W. Carver
This set of photos was from a trip down south in Missouri to the George Washington Carver historical site. At least back then it was a very nice site, with good trails, wildlife and flora on the grounds around the historic markers.
Bike lane detrimental to bike shop?
Yesterday I stopped by River Market Cyclery to pick up another spare bicycle tire tube (I always try to keep 2 on hand), and got into an interesting, brief, conversation with the owner. I overheard him talking about needing access to a parking lot. Seems he no longer has parking for his customers. The street … Continue reading Bike lane detrimental to bike shop?

A turn, a swerve, a save
The problem with coming up with ideas for blog posts while riding a bicycle is that there are no good ways of recording those ideas while in the middle of traffic. Today was one of those days when I had several half-baked ideas on the way home, any of which could make good topics, if … Continue reading A turn, a swerve, a save
