I agree with the Pope

Sunday, December 24th, 2006

…this time, anyway. In my daily scouring of the internet, I read a news article about the Pope’s midnight Christmas mass – hard to believe that it’s still eight and a half hours away over here! – in which he said the following words:
“During the festive meals of these days let us remember the [...]

new papers

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Well, this semester has been a largely productive one – or, should I say, the last month of it has been extremely productive. I’ve managed to spit out two exegesis papers, a paper on Aquinas, and some other fun material in the past few weeks. If you’re interested in some light reading material, [...]

roof

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Today’s the day, apparently. Tara and I were lazily waking up when, at 7:55am, the doorbell rang. The roofers were ready to get started! Who was I to argue with them? So for the past two hours, they’ve been tearing off the three (or four) layers of shingles on our roof. [...]

Tara and I picked up the poinsettias (and thanks to [...]

sick

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

I don’t know what I ate, but my body doesn’t like it. I woke up Monday morning with a stomach-ache, and it hasn’t gone away yet. Now, you have to understand that I’m actually quite used to abdominal pains. A couple of years ago I was diagnosed with GERD (acid reflux), and [...]

undo

Friday, December 1st, 2006

I just had a big scare. While typing my final exam for my dad’s class – I’m on page eight now – I meant to hit Shift-A and Space in order to type “A “. But apparently I accidentally hit Control-A and Space.
If you’re not sure what that does, try it sometime on [...]
