This is the popular for general audience consumption version of the full sociological report.

(almost) never change song lyrics
I have this very bad philosophical habit of picking up a lot of my catch phrases from song lyrics. Fortunately, I have pretty solid songs with philosophically and theologically stable ideas that I am usually singing or listening to. One of the things that irks me, and my wife Betsy, is the changing of song … Continue reading (almost) never change song lyrics

A note on the state of my Insanity
Note this is a two-part blog. The first part written at one time, from one perspective, then the second part written after something else had happened to change the perspective.

Kearney on Foot
After being kicked out of the dentist's office I hoofed it (on foot, down the main street in front of the dental practice). Motion kept the thoughts moving and the pain at bay, as I tried to decide how to get myself back into the dentist. I began by Googling other dentists in Kearney. Perhaps … Continue reading Kearney on Foot
2018: The Year I Almost Died
That, actually, is a headline all of us could legitimately use for every year we lived in and didn't die. The truth is, we don't know all the small and large things happening around us that brought us just the smallest distance from death, both accidental and intentional, by people's moves around us.

Yellow Deli: Beautiful ambiance and graciously nutritious food, but also a religious cult?
On our visit to Chattanooga recently we encountered the Yellow Deli. We enjoyed the food, the music, and the service received. The decor had Hebraic references, and the 24/5 opening schedule made us think of a Jewish background. It also had an influence that would remind us of the 60s hippie movement. But we never … Continue reading Yellow Deli: Beautiful ambiance and graciously nutritious food, but also a religious cult?
