  • A Couple Saturday Observations... So, the guy I've been failing to meet through choking on my own fear the past few weeks at Metropolis Coffee was at my gym this noon-time! I had told myself that I was going to talk to…

  • Time For Me So, after a week's worth of Mondays at work, and waking up too late this morning to get my Friday Morning Treat (read: Mocha), I decided that, instead of hitting the gym this afternoon, I'd take myself to Me…

  • What a Strange Idea... So, the Republican Party here in Cook County has put up a cash reward for anyone who will provide information leading to the indictment and conviction of our current mayor, Richard M. Daley. I ca…

  • Still Monday? Given this week at work, I'd think I had a week of Mondays. Oy. This morning at the office, making the coffee, I measured out the water, put in the filter, turned it on, and waited for it to brew. Whe…

  • Today's Thought As I was riding past Northwestern University on my way home... If my high school had had a soccer team, I bet I would've come out a LOT sooner...

  • Rabbits Out of God's Hat This is the sermon I delivered on July 10, 2005. The Scripture Readings were Genesis 25:19-34 and Romans 8:1-11. It was very well-received. Today’s Epistle reading seems to give me a ready-ma…

  • Oompa Loompa Saw Charlie and the Chocolate Factory last night with Jerry and Rick. As expected, it was pretty trippy. Heck, even seeing that Helena Bonham Carter had a role in the film was kinda weird. She'll also be…

  • I Guess I Did Well Then... This evening, I saw my pastor for the first time since she left on a vacation/study leave a month ago. The first words out of her mouth were, "Your sermon was wonderful." She read a copy, an…

  • Out of My System Well, if today is any indication, the slice of bitterness I swallowed over the weekend isn't going to come out of my system without a fight, so I might as well go on about it. This is going to be mildl…

  • eh I've been mildly bitter for most of the weekend, but I've kept it mostly under wraps, except from Falkore, of course. Maybe I'll get into it at some point this week. For now, it's about two hours past my bedtime.

  • There Oughta Be A Law I'm going through one of my moods where I feel I should have a warning label affixed to my forehead. Something along the lines of "Warning: This boy runs hot and cold like the shower in a cheap m…

  • Picture It. Me. Wearing my "Who's Your SpyDaddy?" t-shirt. And Sunglasses. At Midnight. At Borders. Waiting to get my copy of Harry Potter VI. Drunk.

  • I AM A Special Boy While I still don't care for sweat, as a general rule, I have to admit there is something strangely provocative about finishing your workout drenched in your own sweat. As for the Residue de Uvon tha…

  • They Come Unbidden It is possible that another job offer may be coming my way this week or next. This is not something I have sought out. Rather, a new friend took on an unexpected enthusiasm for having me as a co-wor…

  • Whew Well, that wasn't too bad. Actually, it seemed to go really well. My sermon seemed to be very well-received. I know that it was a fantastic experience for me to do that. Definitely a highlight of the year. Of …

  • Almost There... Well, tomorrow is the big day. Tomorrow I give my first ever sermon! For those of you in Chicago, it's Edgewater Presbyterian Church, 1020 W. Bryn Mawr, 11:00 am. Take public transit if you can (we're…

  • "Not A Problem" Nothing like a good horoscope to start your day on the right foot. For today, my horoscope ended, "Even if you don't know how to dance, you're metaphorically tapping your way through life." Which I thi…

  • Is There A Difference? So, by now you've all heard about the terrible attacks in London. If you haven't heard about them, what kind of cave are you living in, and how do you have internet access, and why am I the only …

  • Today I Will Nourish My Inner Martyr Hey kids. Not adjusting to the sleep thing. After work today, I decided to go to Metropolis to work on my sermon. I got a little bit done. Drank two cups of coffee. Then came ho…

  • Oomph. Well, that was a weekend. Chicago, for those of you who don't know, always does its fireworks on July 3. I've discovered that I actually prefer it this way. Yesterday morning, Kent and I went to Grant Park ear…

  • Clarification I have not lost a friend to AIDS. A very close friend has recently tested positive for HIV. It could be a long time before it develops into full-blown AIDS. But the fact remains that, most likely, it's …
