I’m in the Cincinnati Post!
Kevin Eigelbach, a religion columnist with The Cincinnati Post, wrote an article a couple weeks ago talking about a new law floating around Capital Hill (The Public Expression of Religion Act). In the column he mentioned Edwin Kagin, a local leader in the atheist movement. I liked the column, with one exception – Eigelbach said…

Halloween costume guessing game
Debi and I came up with some new costumes for Halloween this year. We were really excited about them, but we are guessing most people can’t guess who/what Debi is without seeing my costume. So, here it goes. Here’s a photo in Debi in her costume. The first person to guess it will receive…. A…

Hello from Portland
I flew into Portland, OR last night for a conference (SSSR). I’ll be here until Sunday. Lack of foresight left me thinking the sessions started bright and early this morning… Not so. The sessions don’t start until around 1:00 pm, which left me with an entire morning in Portland to blow. After forking over an…

Tall Stacks
Debi and I went to Tall Stacks this past weekend (Saturday). One of our dance students from the Copacabanna set up a deal to get tickets on the Salsa cruise on the Harriet Bishop. We thought it might be fun, so we paid the $30 per ticket to see what all the fuss is about.…

Here’s an excellent op-ed about a similar situation faced by the Romans: Excerpt: But such was the panic that ensued after Ostia that the people were willing to…

So, the research study (phase 1 of 4) is wrapping up and now they’re doing their tests on me (16 days of eating meat down, 2 to go). I went into the hospital this morning at 8:00 to have a tube stuck up through my nose and into my stomach. Once it was in –…

Lorenzo’s Oil
I don’t review most of the movies I watch these days, but I do review some and I rate all of them on IMDB. Anyway, this isn’t my review, it’s Debi’s. If you’re familiar with the premise of Lorenzo’s Oil, you can skip to Debi’s review. If not, here’s the quick of it: A boy…

Tribute to Utah video
If you haven’t seen it yet, you may want to check it out. It’s a very funny parody of the Beach Boys song “Kokomo” using Utah city names: . (Thanks to Mike Nielsen for the link.)

want a printer?
We just bought a new multi-function printer to do a bunch of scanning (it has an auto document feeder and dupluxer so it will scan both sides of a piece of paper) and are looking to get rid of our relatively unused Canon Pixma IP3000. I got it for $5.00 when I purchased a new…
