Boring Post

A brief rundown of past and future events:
1. Sr. Pastor has been on another continent for the past two weeks. My work load has been *slightly* bigger (including a funeral).
2. I didn’t go to the STS retreat this week. There are several reasons for that, but I will give you the shortest rundown possible: [...]

The Last of the Generalists

As I have reflected on my frustrated attempts to return to graduate school this year, I have realized that in some ways, there has been some cultural conditioning leading me to want to specialize in one area or another. We live in a highly specialized society. Many, if not most, people do a very particular [...]

Poor Kid

Yesterday afernoon, it came to light that A’s girlfriend has three other boyfriends, which A knew nothing about. When he found out, he accused her of being a prostitute (yep, he actually used the term prostitute, so I guess he is at least polite when name calling). Anyway, the moral of the story is that [...]

Puttin’ the -Billy Back in Rockabilly

I found this video of one of my favorite bands at one of my favorite watering holes. These guys play all over the Southeast. If you ever get a chance, go see them play. You will not be sorry.

Gator Update

Dallas Baker rumbles for 20 yards and a 1st down against UK Saturday night. Photo from the Gainesville Sun.

1. Two blocked PAT’s. Are you kidding me? You can spare a couple of those on UK, [...]

Nerd Level

I guess this is kind of a relief:

I Mutter

I have been informed by a colleague that I mutter. Apparently I walk down the hallway muttering to myself. I had no idea. I mean, I know that usually my mind is racing, espcially if things are busy or we are having a crisis of some sorts, but I had no idea that I actually [...]

You Lost my Vote, Mr. Taylor

I was originally very excited by the prospect that Lt. Governor Mark Taylor was running for Governor of the great state of Georgia. This morning, however, that all changed. During one of his campaign ads that ran on television, Taylor announced that he wants to expand the death penalty to include repeat child molestors. You [...]

Primed for a Let-down

UF has Kentucky at home this week. With a close win at UT a faded memory, and with Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Georgia coming down the line, I hope the Gators don’t get caught looking ahead.
Trivia: The last time UF lost to UK was 1986. The last time UK had a 2-0 SEC record [...]

The Pope’s Comments, Part II

The Vatican has published a copy of the Pope’s remarks at Regensburg in English. It can be found here.
When I get a bit more time, I will comment on the document.
