Thursday Miscellany

Blog notes: *The talented and erudite Nick Milne has started a new blog: The Daily Kraken [http://nickmilne.wordpress.com/]. His former blog, A Gentle Fuss, was always worth visiting. I suspect this one will be even better. (Note: Krakens are legendary sea monsters [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kraken]

Monday Moanin'

A nice Father's Day: The Incredible Hulk with two middle sons and my father (the movie is highly recommended, though it drags at spots), dinner with parents and brother's family, practiced baseball with middle sons, read. I stayed up later than I wanted because my two

Stream of Consciousness Thursday

Long baseball game last night, almost three hours. The other team ran out of pitchers in the last inning. We were losing 8-6. After we finished batting, we were up 18-8. My son Jack struck out the side to end the game. Most righteous. After that, I came home and

Monday Moaning

Not much today. I think the kid functions are tapering off, but now it's time to get serious at the office. Just one thing today: The Annual Chesterton Conference will be leaving the University of St. Thomas, and at least one person suspects all the bogus restrictions [https:

Saturday Stuff

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

AI to Lovin' Herbie

Well, far out. David Cook won AI. I didn't see it, since I was asleep before 9:00 last night, but my wife told me when she came to bed and I got the details here [http://tv.yahoo.com/show/34934/news/urn:newsml:tv.reuters.com:

The Tuesday Anti-Eudemon

This baseball season and end-of-year school season is going to be the death of me. Too much trash, too much time. Not much blogging. I hope to post something worthwhile later, but right now, simply no time. I did, however, find this mildly-interesting item: Germans migrating to Poland [http://www.

Something for Sunday Morning
