READ “God and the Architect”

“If religion continues to church-it-up in pretense and inside baseball, we become like Gilbert and Sullivan operettas: great good stuff, beloved by an ever-shrinking, self-congratulating group of lovely people.”

Easter In August

40 of 40

Anecdotes are history. Sort of. In theory my grandfather played professional soccer in Brooklyn in 1903. No record, but there weren’t many of much, there, then.

Children Are Not Resilient.

“D’Aundre Holmes-Wilfork, the son of former NFL star Vince Wilfork, was arrested last month and charged with stealing more than $300,000 in jewelry, including a pair of Super Bowl rings, according to a police complaint released by the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office in Texas.”

40 Days

Between Ash & Maundy I write in silence.

It happens to be Lent. I happen to be at Level 23. I most always do this every day anyway, but 90 minutes, every day, is a lot.

Some Are Men (and Fathers)

In 1908 Harry Dickinson met Lucy Hill. He was a bricklayer who blew out his knee playing soccer for the Brooklyn Immigrant Leagues a few years before. Lucy was a worker in a cloth making factory, newly arrived in America. Both were from England. Both were “older” for marriage in their time.

One Meal A Day

4.5 months ago I was just fine.

But then, at the Spring Solstice, a 61.5 year old blood tube decided it’s inadequate middle layer had performed as long as it could: it blew, the tube blew, part of my brain was flooded and I lost (only) balance.

Black Windows, Corian Countertops, Avocado Appliances

Black windows are crisp, even edgy. Corian countertops with integral sinks are nearly miraculous in their seamlessness. I even remember the pop of seeing “Avocado” colored appliances destroy the Arctic White of the kitchen appliance world, along with “Goldenrod” and “Coppertone”.

Walking Home In the Blizzard

It was snowing so hard that the 10 inches on the ground seemed like a warning. I had been in the office for 10 hours and had 1/2 hour of light left. So I walked.

It took 15 minutes, normally t10. But it took longer because I said hi to some old friends

Flaw Flourishes

My vision ended my application to be considered for the Navy ROTC program. My vision was 20-40, and the program, during the Vietnam War that was still raging, only wanted those who could be pilots, thus needed 20-20 vision for consideration. I asked for a waiver, and was denied.

Coda

7 weeks ago we did not have a clue. It was February. Those Chinese had a problem, again, but it was not our problem. And Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. I was buying Birthday Books for my wife, and launched on a mission.

WHAT IS GONE IS BACK AGAIN Bruce Barber and I went to high school together 45 years ago: Over the last decade, Bruce has included me in his creative machinations, both of us trying to find connection to the world at a time of change and opportunity: This is a third iteration of a very human effort: (click here to read more)
