Seems I helped Nathan out with workout #2 as well this week. I suggested he ride his bicycle down to Northtown with me, and to observe while I had my personal training session with Jesse Samborski Fitness. I texted Jesse to let him know I was bringing Nathan along to observe. We rode the three … Continue reading Workout #2
A Concert of Sacred Metaphors — Come Thou Fount
This song starts the second half of the concert -- which featured hymns. The first hymn of the concert was Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing. This is one of those hymns that has been tampered with on its words -- and when it is, it loses its punch. On the recording you will hear … Continue reading A Concert of Sacred Metaphors — Come Thou Fount
Shouting Out the Window at Pedestrians
(Quick follow-up to yesterday's blog on Toontown Rewritten first. Game is so popular there are no openings on the schedule a time for play list -- and those times go out an entire week. Because of that I put myself in the PlayLine to wait for a spot to open up. Monday morning the wait … Continue reading Shouting Out the Window at Pedestrians
Toontown Rewritten — Introducing Master Alvin Wonderbrains
Well, I signed up for a play slot on the semi-open beta, and it started at 7 p.m. tonight. I managed to create my new character -- Master Alvin Wonderbrains -- an homage to my former character, Prof. Alvin Wonderbrains. He has a look as close to his inspiration as I could do. The … Continue reading Toontown Rewritten — Introducing Master Alvin Wonderbrains
Helping My Son With His Summer School Homework
Today I had Betsy drop Nathan off at River Market Cyclery, to meet me there after work. I had taken his bicycle in for brake work and seat adjustment two Saturday's ago, but had forgotten about it until yesterday. I called this morning to see if the bike was ready -- it was scheduled for … Continue reading Helping My Son With His Summer School Homework
Pentecost Sunday at AUMC
Today was Pentecost Sunday. It was also the day that our church Confirmands took responsibility for helping with the service. Our pastor was at Annual Conference this weekend, so Mark Whittaker, youth and communications coordinator led the service, assisted by the confirmands. For me the service was memorable for many reasons, the top two being … Continue reading Pentecost Sunday at AUMC
Sorting the wheat and tares in my garden of ideas…
As I sit here on, what is for me a rainy Saturday morning, deciding what to blog about, I found this blog by Cedar Sanderson on Mad Genius Club about "Building a Blog". I found it while doing my daily WordPress reader cycle, and went and made a long comment about my own peculiar strategy … Continue reading Sorting the wheat and tares in my garden of ideas…
Toontown Rewritten
Regular readers of my blog might remember my prior posts decrying the demise of Disney's Toontown Online. Well, enough creative people wanted Toontown around to create ToontownRewritten -- a free version of the game rewritten by fans of the game. It is currently in semi-open beta testing -- players are allowed to create an account … Continue reading Toontown Rewritten
A year of high school in two days…..
Written on Wednesday about 2 p.m. As I sit here in a house that has been without power since the storm passed through around midnight last night, home sick from work, I ponder some odd elements in our educational system. My daughter managed to flunk out of both semesters of American Citizenship during the regular … Continue reading A year of high school in two days…..
Journey to a High School Reunion — 11th Grade
The 11th grade yearbook was dedicated to Mr. Schultz. I have good recollections of his perennial presence at the school during regular maintenance and special events like the senior play. Does anyone have any specific stories they would like to share? I always remembered that we graduated with 28 people, but maxed out at 34. … Continue reading Journey to a High School Reunion — 11th Grade
