The Weekend Eudemon

Long celebration yesterday. Drank some beer and wine, cleaned the house with Marie and the kids, took everyone to the drinking club for dinner, rented a movie (teen comedy John Tucker Must Die [http://movies.yahoo.com/shop?d=hv&id=1809273670&cf=info], which wasn't

Celebration Eudemon

Friday is here, and so is screw-off time. A half-day at the office, and an easy half day at that. A partner wants me to try some 40-year-old scotch at lunch. I detest most hard liquor, but I'm in such a good mood, I just might try it

Four Days to Go

The children's Christmas concert/play last night. One more Christmas party this weekend. And then the big days hit. On Saturday morning, we're putting our kids into forced labor for two hours, in hopes of getting the house cleaned up for the twelve days of Christmas.

Tuesday Eudemon

My life gets more exciting tonight: the first real college football bowl game. The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl [http://www.holidaybowl.com/poinsettiabowl.htm]. Northern Illinois v. TCU. The whole bowl concept, of course, is out of hand: 32 games this year, which means 64 teams go

The Weekend Eudemon

This morning, it's the commando eudemon. Baby Tess (21 months) came into our bed and wasn't going back to sleep. I can't sleep much past 6:00, so I was itching to get up. My wife pulled Tess to her side, and I slid

The Seasonal Eudemon

Light blog today. Tis the season . . . to move two pool tables into friends's basements. A hernia and backache later, the pool tables are in the basements, never to come back up. When I got home, I showered and decided to read a little St. John of the Cross,

The Wednesday Eudemon

Get ready for more Muslim protests: Benedict XVI warns that peace becomes a mirage when the dignity of woman is not fully respected [http://www.zenit.org/english/visualizza.phtml?sid=99796]. A clear shot at Muslim thinking, no? Thing is, I suspect it'll perplex Muslims. "Was

The Tuesday Eudemon

Rough morning. My stomach hurts a little and I'm coughing a bit. I hope it doesn't develop into anything that really hurts. We'll see. This made me feel better: "The Vatican has upheld a 1996 excommunication decree issued by Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz in

Dragging Monday

Long day in Detroit yesterday. Jack and Michael had a great time, but I'm dragging today. There will be no ordinary posting, though I do have an article of sorts that you might enjoy. I'll post it presently.
