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.

Perfectly Appoproriate; Perfectly Counterproductive
I wrote last Saturday about the Hamilton/Pence brouhaha. Since then I have had a chance to listen to and read other opinions on the issue. It hasn't changed my basic opinion, but it has expanded my perspective. The question was whether the cast of Hamilton was rude, did anything inappropriate, by making their appeal to … Continue reading Perfectly Appoproriate; Perfectly Counterproductive
A Blast of the Past #72: Nathan’s Birthday

Fitness Update: weather-related allergies/illness
I started off last week with the best of intents. Ran a 5K on Monday with the intent to get at least one more in. Then a weather swing hit the sinuses.
