Winding Down
Why is the year-end so poignant, yet so hopeful? So busy yet so reflective?
As I watched all ten of Time Magazine’s Top 10 Viral Videos of 2008, I realized I’d posted on three of them this past year. (Christian the Lion still made me weep; something about the last scene just gets to me!) There [...]

It won’t resolve the doubt, at all, but it’s diverting! I’m not sure why, but I haven’t been in the mood to blog much. I am in good health; I’m (almost) getting enough sleep, but somehow, bloggie-me is in hiding. I have seventeen drafts, ( ) but none of them are [...]
