Stephen Fry on Grammar Nazis
If you’re a sesquipedalian such as myself, I believe you will agree this is delightful: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7E-aoXLZGY&fs=1&hl=en_US] Stephen Fry on Grammar Nazis: You do seek out opportunities to point out the grammatical errors of other people?

Halloween Preparations
Today we shopped for halloween costumes and it confirmed my belief that commercial halloween costumes suck.

At least shopping gave us an excuse to visit one of our favorite …

I planned to spend today getting a few things in order that I’ve let slide. My desk in the office is spilling over with junk mail, bills, stuff to read, and …
I Sang in Church this Morning
Finding My Faith These are some questions I have on my mind lately. With a string of careers and marriages trailing behind me as evidence of taking the scenic route to this point in my life. I sang in church this morning and that means more than you think. I feel closer to God than …
Fact mirrors fiction

A 100-kilometer-long traffic jam in China’s Heibei Province has left thousands of truck drivers stuck on the interstate heading towards Beijing since August 14. What’s worse, officials …
