"Do you think people will think we're lovers? Did you know I'm a dirty old man?" "How can Christians believe in a Creator who made all of the earth and everything in it, and then not bother to take care of it? If America is such a Christian country, why is it such a wasteful and resource-hogging place?" "Thank you for your singing and dancing in the wee morning hours. ...

Well, it's happened again. I wasn't blogging (regularly) when Josh and I found out in 2004 that our privately owned duplex in Arkansas was going up for sale. We were surprised, and a bit annoyed when people were shown through our home without any notice at all, when I was say, not fully clothed. A very neat 80 year-old duplex near where we worked opened up, so we ...

Yes, that's what I'm calling momma dove on the porch. I got some better photos of Pidge sitting on her chair—or nest, if you will. Turns out there's another window right by her, you know, in the dining room--also known as the room into which I never ever go unless there's the stench of dead bodies, in which case I might send Josh.

Our attic access is outside on the front porch, and when he was ...

I mentioned the film V for Vendetta a while back, and I actually just got a chance to view the movie's site more closely. I really enjoyed the storyboards, and there's several really cool desktop backgrounds that have the screen print '50s look. The site is flash, so once you click this link you have to click "desktops" on the top menu bar.

Here's the scene: The TV is still on after Grey's Anatomy -- local news (WFAA) comes on and shows a live report in The Colony on a grass fire. I just happen to glance over at the TV when, in the middle of this reporter's story a male streaker runs in front of the camera honking an air horn! I blinked a few times, then ran laughing ...
