Last week Carolyn and I went to Sight & Sound Theater in Strasburg, Pennsylvania. We love that place! We saw “In the Beginning,” their version of the creation story. As usual, it was great! Their productions are too good to try to describe. You just have to experience it. We were excited to see that Continue reading

At the end of last week I finally got my computer back from the Geek Squad.  They fixed it to the point that it can now detect wireless, but there’s still one huge problem: it can’t detect my wireless!  I’m able to get online at the church, but not from my study which is where Continue reading

Carolyn and I are back from spending a couple weeks in Costa Rica.  We had an amazing trip, and it’s nice to be back in the States!  I’ll share more about our vacation and post some pics in the days ahead. Continue reading

Carolyn and I made what has become our weekly zoo trip a few days ago.  Sometimes I tease her about how much she likes the zoo, but I have to admit that there’s always something different there.  On this visit we heard the wolves howling at some nearby sirens, saw a prairie dog jump on a Continue reading

The computer problems are looking more and more bleak.  I still can’t get online on my computer.  For awhile I thought it was a Verizon problem, but now I’m thinking it might be a Gateway problem.  I can get online on Carolyn’s desktop computer at home, but the laptop can’t get online anywhere.  We’ve tried Continue reading

At Carolyn’s school, yesterday was Sports Day (or what was known to us old people as Field Day).  I went with Carolyn to school for the day to try to help out.  I wish I could do that every week–it’s always so much fun, and it’s so refreshing to be around little kids who are Continue reading

There’s an inherent irony to blogging: The busier you are, the more you have to blog about, but the less time you have to do it; the less busy you are, the more time you have to blog, but the less there is to say. I’ll try to make a better effort at conquering this Continue reading

This morning I met a man who’s been a Santa for the past 11 years.  He works a six-week season at the mall every year.  This guy John has a long white beard, even in April.  He told me that Santas with natural beards are paid more than Santas that have to strap on a Continue reading
