Saturday Stuff

Final day of school yesterday. A 60-year-old school is dead. It was a rough day, which has now led into a rough morning due to celebratory aspects that kind of took on the feel of a post-funeral party: the grief starts to wear off with the help

Brews You Can Use

They're heavy-handed. That's why I ain't got much use for prison guards, college administrators, liturgists, and revenuers. If you want to see the latter in action, check out this Dukes-of-Hazzard-like story [http://www.nashvillescene.com/Stories/Cover_Story/2008/05/

Thursday

Alright, I'll go out on a limb here: Possibly the best magazine article ever written [http://nymag.com/realestate/features/47224/]. I read it in bed Tuesday night and I couldn't put it down. It's about Brooklyn's gentrification, and how a local

Annual Chesterton Conference

The Spring Blitz continues. I'd give details, but suffice to say: When someone asks me if I want to do X or why I didn't attend Y Optional Event, I want to strangle them. I still haven't taken my life, but a bullet to

The Saturday Eudemon

This kind of thing fascinates me: One of South America's few remaining uncontacted indigenous tribes has been spotted and photographed on the border between Brazil and Peru [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7426794.stm]. I thought you'd have to go to New Guinea,

Brews You Can Use

I figured that was a good way to kick off the BYCU. I won't be doing much driving this weekend, but some inebriated bike pedaling is a possibility. Drink a few, ride bike to the baseball games. The only problem with that is, I can't sneak

SofC

Am I really going to write another stream of consciousness post just eight days after my first one? I think so. Things are brutal around here. I have eleven days with baseball games out of twelve; every day except Sunday has a game. I had a meeting last night that
