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.
Blast of the Past #68: Peanuts Playhouse
We have been denizens (season passholders) of Worlds of Fun since 2001. In looking back at the pictures, we can remember when Peanuts Playhouse was first built. It was one of the new attractions they put in since we started going. Yet that is at least 11 years ago. It was also in the days … Continue reading Blast of the Past #68: Peanuts Playhouse
On the Ballot: Statutory Measures, Special Elections
This post concludes my walk down the Ballot I will be voting on Nov. 8 in Clay County, MO. It includes two sections of the ballot: Statutory Measures and Special Elections. I am not quite sure what these sections mean, but I can parse what the items themselves mean. Here they are: STATUTORY MEASURE PROPOSITION … Continue reading On the Ballot: Statutory Measures, Special Elections
#136: Christ is Risen from the Dead
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 Christ is risen from the dead -- He is risen as He said! Never, since the heavens rang With the song the angels sang On the morning of His birth, Had such gladness come to earth; Quickly … Continue reading #136: Christ is Risen from the Dead
On the Ballot: Constitutional Amendments
When people talk of constitutional amendments, my mind goes to the U.S. Constitution. But each of the states has a constitution, and they get amended with much greater frequency. This year I see 5 amendments of the ballot: they are numbered 1 to 6, skipping 5. Since I didn't know much about the process, I … Continue reading On the Ballot: Constitutional Amendments
Fitness Update: Technology Troubles
Well, this week I'll give a short stats update, and then on to an indirectly related topic. Got in one 5K run and a 1000 yard swim. So not doing much progress there, but at least doing something. I did hit 2,500 miles on Saturday -- so the October goal was completed a week in … Continue reading Fitness Update: Technology Troubles
#135: The Day of Resurrection
(Part of a series singing through the hymnbook I grew up with: Great Hymns of the Faith) 1 The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad -- The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God! From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns … Continue reading #135: The Day of Resurrection
More of the Ballot: Judges
Next on the ballot is voting for the Judges. Â The ones on the ballot are all yes/no votes to retain in office or not. Since I haven't heard anything negative about any of them, I intend to do the usual and vote yes. If anyone has heard otherwise, I would like to know. MISSOURI SUPREME … Continue reading More of the Ballot: Judges
A Blast of the Past #67: Furniture and Corn Stalks
We also moved in some "heirloom" furniture, inherited back then. Furniture that is still continuing to give us good service today. It is a little more weighted down with use than it was when fresh moved in, though. There are also pictures of the corn (planting seen in previous post) coming up in the yard. … Continue reading A Blast of the Past #67: Furniture and Corn Stalks
Down the Ballot: Clay County Officials
I have lived in Clay county for  19 years and I still don't know what it means to be an Eastern or Western Commissioner. Do I vote for just one of the positions, or both? Is the country divided into two, and if so, which portion am I in? Overall, I think these county offices … Continue reading Down the Ballot: Clay County Officials
