2011 Glen Workshop: My Painting
This year at the Glen Workshop, I stretched my brain and tried painting. Here’s my process.
Gerard Manley Hopkins: A Life
You would think that after 35 years of reading, I would know not to pay attention to marketing copy on dust jackets. You would think that after numerous instances of having perfectly good books ruined by ostentatious review blurbs, I would learn simply to read the book and let the book be itself. I would …
My Oyster in a Grain of Sand
Sitting at the breakfast table, the repast now over except for the steaming mug of dark-brewed coffee, I am surrounded by books. On the table itself, 32 volumes arranged in six piles corresponding to various projects Sherry is working on. Hundreds more in the bookshelves hugging the walls, even more set aside in boxes on …
2010 Christmas Pageant
I know it’s a little late, but here’s some photos from the 12/19/2010 Old Trinity Christmas Pageant.
Ode Less Travelled: Mixed Feet
This summer, I began working my way through Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled. Yes, Jeeves has written a wonderful book on the mechanics of prosody.

The first time I had Kona coffee was in an office cubicle inside American Greetings headquarters. A co-worker had returned from an Hawaiian vacation and brought some beans …

Be patient, beloved, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receive the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near. Beloved, do not grumble against one another, …
New Look
For better or for worse, I think it’s time I acknowledged that truffin.com is heading into a new phase. Don’t quite know what that phase is right now, but I’m working on it. One way I’m working on it is to start messing with new visual themes. So, don’t worry, the site hasn’t been taken …
Ox in the Ditch Sunday
Growing up, we were taught to “remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.” I didn’t always know what that meant. Usually, it meant that you weren’t supposed to do work; you were supposed to rest. That was cool. But then there would be those Sundays where we DID do work on Sunday. At that point, …
