"Overman would be proud," I mumbled to myself after hearing the second Elvis song in a row at 8:05 yesterday morning.
Yup, he would be ecstatic that if there was one thing carried over from my high school education, that I could recall Elvis Presley’s birthday with minimal prompting would be it. So I [...]

This year, one of my resolutions is to be faithful in contributing to Music Thursday. Like most resolutions, I hope this one isn’t fashioned to be broken.
I’ve been listening to this song by Imogen Heap like crazy for the past couple of weeks. I thought I’d share. On the deluxe version of the album, I [...]

Good 2010 to all of my fellow Hollow Souls.
I’ve been in a particularly reflective mood in this New Year, and I want to explore some of those reflective moments with the rest of you, if possible. It’s been a decade since the calendar flipped over to the year 2000, a lot of fears never [...]

The holidays are upon us. I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving next week, wherever you will be. Jen and I will be in the Pacific Northwest from Tuesday through Sunday. So here’s wishing you a good feast to you and yours, from there.
As it happens, I have a fairly grand holiday break set up [...]

I have been contemplating this place and time in life–being 33. It is an interesting but hard to define stage. I have particularly been trying to explore the concept of the Jesus Year, as Jesus was supposedly 33 for the bulk of his ministry, betrayal, and death. The concept is that by the age of [...]

It seems like there’s been a sad chain of obituaries on the blog lately. I’m a little hesitant in the midst of those to post something so frivolous, but it’s an exciting frivolous. At least, I can’t help but get a little giddy about these two news items today.

Today in Eau Claire is cool and sunny. One of the first tastes of fall coming on. Eliot had his last day of pre-school soccer camp today (we lost one to zero, though most of the kids didn’t know who won and who lost or what team they were on or which direction to [...]

I’m writing this post from my new office at Macalester College. It feels right now rather incredible to be here, even just for one semester, teaching one class. And it’s exciting and a little daunting to have an office in the department and the building where I used to take classes myself, meet with professors [...]

So here I am at the McPherson Public Library buzzing on coffee from the Main St. Deli. Now seems like an appropriate time to post Marlon Brando reading “The Hollow Men.” Enjoy if you dare.

I meant to post these before all of your New Year festivities. I fear by forgetting, I’ve done everyone a terrible wrong. I’m surprised they don’t make these articles mandatory reading in schools now-a-days. I posted them here, because you need to know!
