I recently saw an interview on Sixty Minutes in which an American doctor (working in Darfur, Sudan) accused the Bush administration of refusing to send in intervention forces because they were receiving information on Osama Bin Laden from the men in power. Osama apparently visited the current president to recruit men. When a German doctor [...]

Looking forward to Kansas City and heading south where, presumably, it hasn’t snowed several times already. I wish I could say that were true for Minnesota. Tradition dictates that we will see a movie over the weekend, and tradition also dictates that we discuss in advance what movie we will watch. My vote goes to [...]

I told Toby a few weeks ago that there was an 80% chance that I could make to Kansas City. That was overly optimistic. I still can’t be gone for that weekend and now the plane ticket is $100 more than it was a month ago anyway. Hope you guys have a good time. And [...]

I bought this album a couple of years ago on a weekend where the leaves on the trees changed drastically. I had a road trip through the back roads of Kansas and it was glorious. Ever since, the following album has been synonymous with autumn. (It joins the ranks of many a U2 album.) Doc [...]

We approach our gathering, and I’m enjoying the anticipation. I look forward to speaking with you all. It’s been a long couple of weeks, one of which was spent on the road in New Jersey for the Dodge Poetry Festival (anyone who has viewed Bill Moyers’ special The Language of Life knows the Dodge Festival) [...]

I’m home sick with a wicked cold today so I might as well blog. So on Friday Peters and I were discussing new cars, hybrids, MPG and the like. Then on Sunday I found this ad thumbing through some of Jackie’s (my mother-in-law) old magazines. According to this, the 1976 Datsun B-210 had an EPA [...]

Hello All, Speaking of food and going hungry, just thought I’d mention that I’m doing a three mile CROP walk this October. I’m supposed to have sponsors to raise money. I Don’t know too many people here to whom I can appeal. I’m trying to get people to send ten dollar checks made out to [...]

I must begin as is the ritual now with, “very interesting”. all the blogs so far are really, truly fascinating. So difficult to express so much in so few words. I think the heart of the matter is context. it is nearly impossible, to dissect our time, analyse it, and make conclusions which really capture [...]

Great stuff on the BTOP. I fear that there are many things we have loved that we can never go back to. Many movies, books, toys, games, etc (can read a lot into the etc) that just do not stand the test of time. How many times have we gone to the video store to [...]

I think by now, I’ve gotten a hold of everybody…but I wanted to post the invitation to the Becker home in KC the last weekend in October. The invitation is open to everyone and their spouses, but the focus would definitely be on the guys hanging out. It’s been a while since we’ve gotten to [...]
