The Stuff In The Backpack Of My Brain
Geowhat? Do you know what a geoglyph is? I did not. Never heard the word before. So, from Wikipedia… A geoglyph is a large design or motif produced on the ground by durable elements of the landscape, such as stones, stone fragments, gravel, or earth. It’s basically land art. Here’s an image of The Hummingbird, found among the Nazca […]
(Part 3 of the Soul’s DNA series) Part 1 of this series provided a manifesto for Christian living – an attempt to summarize our uniquely Christian calling in this world. It’s a North Star we can use to (re)orient our lives. It’s a memo to ourselves. Part 2 provided the Bible’s basic “source code” on […]
Question: Is it really, truly possible to beat swords into plowshares? See Isaiah 2:3-4. If you’re of a certain age (mine), you likely grew up watching what we used to call the evening news. And if you’re of a certain age (mine), you’ll also likely recall that almost every night during the 1980’s & 90’s […]
(Part 2 of the Soul’s DNA series) Part 1 of this series led off with a manifesto for living called Entrepreneurs Of Life. Part 2 here is all about the “Go Space” in the game of life. It’s the starting line. The source code. The “stem cell” origins of who we are in this world. […]
(Part 1 of the Soul’s DNA series) A manifesto is a public statement that summarizes the beliefs and aims of a group or individual. This is my manifesto. It has been a North Star for me for many years. It’s not my original work (I wish I could say it was!). It’s adopted from the […]
I’ve been working with a personal trainer through the Silver Sneakers program at our local rec center. She has me working on core training and overall fitness goals. Because it’s good for me at this point in life. (Or so I’m told). Genetics (or maybe lifestyle) have not blessed me with one of those flexible […]
Howdy Our family packed a lot into this year. We have enjoyed pretty good health. We’ve celebrated a few milestones. We’ve travelled. We’ve learned. We’ve grown. Here is 2023 in no particular order. Travel Scotland Our Covid delayed trip to Scotland finally happened in May. Lisa & I went with her sister Sue and husband […]
The 2023 Tour de France stared this weekend. Each year I unapologetically spend a lot of time in front of the tube glued to this event. 3 weeks of broken collarbones, European accents, strategy, scenery, history, Spandex, green jerseys, white jerseys, polka dot jerseys, yellow jerseys. I look forward to everything about the event (despite […]
I bought a girl bike last weekend. At least that’s what we used to call them back in the last century. When we were kids. In the days of banana seats. And chopper handlebars on our 3-speed bikes. When we built jump ramps out of scrap wood from the barn. And no one wore a […]
(Note: you can enhance your enjoyment of this post if you first watch the music video “Roam” by The B52’s). OK. So after roaming around in my tartan through the thistles on my unicorn (see Part 1 and Part 2 of this series), I’m finally focused enough to reveal what – to me – is […]
