Sofa Saga: Part 3
Got a call from Sherry yesterady morning that our sofa had been delivered. Hooooooray! I haven’t heard anything yet on how the beasties are taking to it. Sherry’s concerned that the wood on the sofa doesn’t go with the wood on our trim, but–hey–wood is wood. Right?

So, we’re leaving CT and heading to Rhode Island (a state whose smallness boggles my mind), and we’re sitting at a red light when –bump– a lady who also had been sitting behind us at the red light decides it would be fun to run into our rear end. We exit the car and take …

Evangelical Expatriate
Evangelical Expatriate: “Author Barbara Kingsolver writes that rather than buying into the ‘love it or leave it’ approach to the groups with which we affiliate, a more honorable slogan is “love it and get it right, love it and never shut up.” This, I believe, is the function of evangelical expatriates. These expats have renounced …
War of the Worlds
So, as the end credits of War of the Worlds were rolling and I was wondering just how much money Morgan Freeman was pulling in this summer with bit parts in blockbusters, I realized that Steven Spielberg was teaching us 7 very important lessons. 1.
