• Personal Case Study #2: Peggy Chilson

  This is the popular for general audience consumption version of the full sociological report. I decided to do this case study because of a sudden realization that came from an e-mail she sent to everyone in Madrialia Bar Nonne but forgot the attachment with the information. This occurred on Friday, May 27, 2022. The e-mail […]

I started my proposal by pulling the salient […]

• Communication: Understanding or Power

  (Note: Those reading this post will hopefully note that it reflects an attitude generally in opposition to my normal one. Not that I think it untrue, or not worth saying, but that it is difficult and painful to paint in these colors for very long. Nor do I think it constructive to do it for […]

  One of the main focuses of the summer trip in 2009 was my 25th high school reunion.  So here are some pictures from Twin Tiers Baptist High School — from 8 years ago.

• Bike ride across America

  Today’s post is a short one, about a story I saw on the Houghton College Facebook feed, about four students, recent graduates, who are biking across America. This blog follows their journey, which started in mid-May. I haven’t had a chance to barely read any of it, since I came across it over the weekend, […]

• A bit of poetry

  (Note: it has been awhile since I’ve pulled up my old poetry, so here is another one.  This was during my year as editor of the Houghton Star student newspaper at Houghton College, during the last year that the old Compugraphic machines were used instead of the new Macintosh computers that they got the next […]

• Summer Plans change

  Today’s post is late and short. Seems the class I’d planned on taking this summer — Digital Storytelling — is being canceled. No idea if it was because of low attendance, or because of a change in the teacher’s schedule. I was really excited about this class, the one elective choice that really gave me […]
