I know, I know—I’m a little carried away with this healthy eating thing. But you can’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. So I’m trying it. And so far, I’m liking it a lot! Maybe it’s because I’m nearing the 30-pound mark—lost, not gained, for a change.
Yesterday I read Liz Wood’s blogpost about “thick, [...]

Disclaimer: Most often I post stuff here about other people and events and don’t write personal stuff. This is an exception.
I had to chuckle at myself this morning as I put together the granola ingredients I recently purchased at Whole Foods. Yes, Whole Foods! And I wasn’t happening past and decided to stop in. No, [...]

This is making the rounds on e-mail, but I thought I’d post it anyway. First the pic, then the (anonymous) story.
“The good news is that I truly outdid myself this year with my Christmas decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after two days. I had more people come screaming up to my house [...]

Yesterday during worship my head was bowed in reflection, but my eyes were open to what rested on my lap. What?
Octobber?
I hurried home to confirm my suspicion. Yep, every worship sheet this month…
Sigh.

While Mauri’s out eating Pasquale’s pizza with the five other NFC Brass players, using a portion of the lucre from a wedding gig, look what I’m having for dinner.
Is that fair?
Actually, it is fair. For too many months now I’ve been eating with abandon, and that lack of discipline always reaps the same result. So [...]

Am I the only one who buys green or yellow bananas then watches them turn to mush on the counter? I don’t want to confess how many bananas I’ve surreptitiously dropped into the garbage over the years (not that I kept track). Occasionally I try to assuage my guilt by redeeming those browning beauties into banana [...]

My friend Bob commented on Facebook that he thought that charred pig I posted here on Sunday looked like a Montauk monster. I don’t get out much and had to look in Google to see what he was talking about. Pretty disgusting, huh?
That’s the same word I’d use to describe some of the delicacies we saw [...]

Last night we drove 21 miles to buy licorice. Black licorice. Target is the closest store that sells the good stuff. These August evenings call out for any excuse to take a drive while the top is off the jeep.
Our friend Ridgely, from Bellingham, WA, stayed with us while she visited her daughter, Jessica. Ridge [...]

How many rounds of “Trumpet Voluntary” does it take to get ten bridesmaids and nine groomsmen off the platform?
The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind.

Even with 15 years of marriage under our belts, we still have some invariables. I remember the first time I told Mauri that when a recipe calls for buttermilk I simply use vinegar to sour regular milk. He was appalled! So when I read my young friend Tina’s blogpost about making buttermilk pancakes I had [...]
