I have been basically offline for several days, the past few in the hospital (I am still there), the couple before that my brain offline sinking into the infection that put me into the hospital. And so now I am trying to write a post, trying to decide what tone to strike, one of hope, … Continue reading Whatever Way the Wind Blows
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.
Spam Callers
One habit that I have changed since the house fire, is I am answering all calls on my cell phone. Because the emergency services we have put feelers out to, and which may be calling us back, will of course be unrecognized numbers, and may sometimes be listed as spam calls or telemarketers by the … Continue reading Spam Callers

When you just can’t win
I'm sure all of us have felt this way. Doesn't matter where the line is: grocery store,vsecurity check, ticket counter, you choose a line that seems the shortest and best for getting through the quickest, and you end up waiting a long time, while all the other lines get through long before you do. Jasini … Continue reading When you just can’t win
I am not playing games
Bullies are drawn to me, I know not why. They don't seem like bullies at first. But whatever agreement we have made, soon enough they try to change it to something else they like better. And of course my not agreeing to the change is being unreasonable. The latest example we helped out by giving … Continue reading I am not playing games
Just offend everyone
In a conversation with Jasini once, I made the observation how we have done our best to work with people and not make waves, but that in hindsight we should have just been disagreeable -- the result would have been the same.

Well I did it! I got past the Holier -Than-Thou people who have prevented me from voting the past year and actually voted where and when I was supposed to yesterday in our local elections. I spent a year being intimidated by our local Democratic Party vote getter outer to not come to church (yes … Continue reading Voter Intimidation
