The Wednesday Eudemon

More troubles with Sears. Remember my statement yesterday: "The smart money, incidentally, says he doesn't show up with the necessary part"? Well, that's what happened. My wife waited at home from 8:00 until 3:30. The fix-it guy showed up and said

The Suspended Eudemon

I like Sears. I've never read about them donating to gay rights groups or doing anything else objectionable. But I don't like their service. Awhile back, I bought an elliptical exercise machine from them. Constant problems for the first month. Those finally got fixed and it

The Moanin' Eudemon

Harsh college football weekend. Congratulations to Florida, but shame on the BCS voters who had no intention of letting UM play for the national championship three weeks ago when they voted them number 2. Does anyone really think Florida would've moved ahead of Michigan, if USC hadn'

Something for Sunday Morning

The Weekend Eudemon

A nice day. The storm has passed (actually, my corner in southern Michigan barely got nicked), and I have little to do today, except deal with the Seven, two of whom slept with me last night (Meg and Max--5 and 3) and trailed me to my study this morning.

The Brewing Eudemon

One of our own tops Hollywood: Nicole Kidman is the top female in the Wood, earning $17 million per movie [http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,233259,00.html]. I haven't read anything about her Catholicism lately, but according to stories last summer [https://thedailyeudemon.com/4697/

Last Day of Freedom Eudemon

Tonight, I have nothing to do. After tonight? Social, service, or family obligations nine out of the next ten days. One is very pleasant (tree decorating with the family), but the rest are simple time consumers (committee meetings, take care of house and children while Marie is out, a perfectly

The Wednesday Eudemon

I saved the best for second: Mark Steyn's obituary in The Atlantic Monthly. It's the best regular feature in the magazine, and in the December issue he has cranked out his best one: funny, anecdote-filled, disconcerting, with a Catholic kicker at the end. It'

The Tuesday Eudemon

The Atlantic Monthly came yesterday. All sorts of good stuff. The issue revolves around the most influential Americans of all time [http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200612/influentials-main]. There's the top 100, plus a bunch of sidebar articles on the most influential poets, filmmakers, etc. A few
