Emergence and Krispy Kreme
The strangest dream… I was vacationing in a city (can’t remember which) with my wife and my parents. The last morning, a Sunday, came, and I decided that I’d go grab some breakfast before we had to go to church … Continue reading

Imagined Communities
I’m about two-thirds of the way through Torture and Eucharist now, and I think it’s going to trouble me more than any book I’ve read recently. Not because of the graphic visuals–Cavanaugh is actually pretty sparing with the blow-by-blow, preferring … Continue reading

Spookier by the Minute
I’ve still been reading in Torture and Eucharist, and I just finished the section in which Cavanaugh runs down a history of Chile from 1930 to 1988, and where I expected a history that runs parallel to Afghanistan’s or Iraq’s, … Continue reading

Cutting Cactus
I dreamed last night that I was going out to some kind of lake to visit my little brother Ryan (he’s 23) on the job. I found him using a weed eater to cut down hillsides full of grass. For … Continue reading

The Apocalypse is Here
Like so many bloggers in the last eight hours, I’m sure, I have to tip my blue hat with the red “C” to the Boston Red Sox. Nobody’s ever come back from three and 0, although the Marlins did similar … Continue reading

Too Many Footnotes
Hauerwas’s book is good, but every page is about half text and half footnotes. I suppose I should expect that from a book based on a lecture series, but it’s slow going nonetheless. In Paradise Lost I’m up to book … Continue reading

Deadline Today
I can’t remember what exactly I dreamed about, but I know it involved Sabrina’s behaving herself in an animal hospital, so I should have known it wasn’t real. I haven’t covered any more ground in Paradise Lost, but I did … Continue reading

Easily Worth Two Bucks
No dream recollection this morning, as I snooze-buttoned whatever I was dreaming right out of my memory. Mary and I went to see Spider Man 2 at the second run cinema last night, and I feel like it was a … Continue reading

Two dreams, one Senator
It’s Saturday, and it’s not early morning, but what the heck? Sabrina (the cocker spaniel, for new readers) woke me up at one o’clock in the morning while I was in the middle of one dream. In it I was … Continue reading

First Day
In about two hours, my first day of substitute teaching commences. I’m still eagerly anticipating any word about the library tech support job over in Gwinnett, but nonetheless, today I actually start contributing to the family money situation again. Abdiel’s … Continue reading

Vagary and Brilliance
I can’t exactly remember last night’s dream because I took a shower, did some laundry, and edited Mary’s social studies test this morning–just too much activity. But I do remember it had something to do with my being a politician–watching … Continue reading

The Void
I had perhaps the creepiest kind of dream last night, namely the empty set. I closed my eyes not long after ten thirty. I opened them, and it was five thirty. I’ve read that such voids are illusory, that my … Continue reading

Double Header
This morning, I woke up actually remembering both the dream I was having when Sabrina (our cocker spaniel) woke me up at 1:30 this morning and the dream I was having when the alarm went off. Pretty cool, eh? To … Continue reading

The Extraterrestrial Talking Diamond
Okay, last night’s dream was a weird one. There was a reality show being taped in the town where I lived (not sure where, but for some reason it seemed like Winslow, IN). The idea was that a carpenter’s family … Continue reading

Series Finale
Mary woke up with my alarm today and told me she was hungry, so I’ve got no recollection of what I dreamed about. I do remember dreaming, though. I finished up my Bible study series on the Psalms last night, … Continue reading

I Could Do Better than That
Wow. The debate was so lopsided last night that I actually dreamed that I was debating Dick Cheney. And in my dream, I was laying out a case for a rapid withdrawal from Iraq, point by point, without any recourse … Continue reading

No Picture
I know I dreamed something last night, because I woke up remembering it. But I lay in bed for too long afterwards, and now I can’t remember a thing. Tonight is the vice presidential debate, and I fear that I’m … Continue reading

Won’t Leave Me Alone
I dreamed last night that we had a girl, but the girl was about the size of a June bug, small enough to cradle in my palm. The problem was that we were with Mary’s family, and all the women … Continue reading

Lost again
I dreamed last night that I was in college and that my schedule was made up entirely of high-level math classes. I never attended any class in the context of the dream but instead wandered around a labyrinth-like building, never … Continue reading
