through a glass darkly: August 2008

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Sunday, August 31, 2008. Looking about for something interesting to do on this holiday weekend, we (Bill and I, Sara and Andrew, Emma and Lucy) all took off for Omaha for an adventure. We still feel surprised to be living in Kansas, and now we are vacationing in Nebraska? Later, there was shopping in Old Town, dinner together at the Spaghetti Works, swimming in the pool. All in all, it was a fun and interesting weekend. Last ...

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Saturday, June 7, 2008. We are really just talking about dinners now, since the hotel provided the breakfast and lunch gratis. We added bottle of wine (should have had red, but we don't like red, so we had white) and a bottle of water, for a grand total of $180! And we were cheap! Needless to say, once was all that we could afford. Sunday, June 1, 2008. The Euro during our trip rose. To its highest value against. Our room had...

through a glass darkly: Surprises

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Sunday, September 21, 2008. On Friday (9/19/08) I read an adaptation of a commencement address by David Foster Wallace given by him to the class of 2005 at Kenyon College. I was drawn to the article, not because I knew of Wallace's life or works, but because I didn't, and because I had heard that he committed suicide the previous week. What is he doing right now? And talk about. (this assumes that there are realities). 3 "Twe...

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Thursday, July 19, 2007. We even stopped at Dodge City, which we thought would be really corny, but it turned out to be very interesting. They have an amazing little museum, the original "Boot Hill" cemetery, and a "real, live, shootout" between the sheriff and the bad guys. You wouldn't believe who won! Tuesday, July 10, 2007. So Sarah Jessica Parker is creating fashion for the common man (woman) now! My age is showing!

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Monday, February 18, 2008. For the first time in my life, this year I participated in a caucus. It was great fun and something of an education. Of course it was the Republican caucus and the first one for Kansas in 22 years. Before the balloting, four speakers had 2 minutes each to speak for the candidates (that was when we still had a choice! One of those speakers turned out to be Barry Goldwater, Jr! Yes, believe it or not.

through a glass darkly: The Grandkids Visit

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Saturday, August 2, 2008. Everyone was throwing up for about 24 hours. Thankfully, I was the only one left standing, so that I could care for them. Even though I was exhausted and tired of cleaning up the messes, I found that there isn't a better way to bond with kids than to care for them when they are ill! So fun seeing your pics! I've become a bit of an addict - it's just so fun! Http:/ thecalihans.blogspot.com/. I am wond...

through a glass darkly: A Great Day!

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Monday, August 18, 2008. This is a great day for me! Last week I signed onto a new job as an Instructional Assistant in the Shawnee Mission School District. Although the pay is not great, this job offers what I have been pursuing and failing to get- health insurance! I am not teaching high school English or college composition- no, 4 yr 0lds! What a relief, huh? August 19, 2008 at 6:45 PM. Hi, Ross,. August 24, 2008 at 5:59 AM.

Through a glass darkly. Observations on a simple life in a complicated culture. Thursday, March 27, 2008. My, how things "change" whether you want them to or not! Mrs Clinton, who appeared to have the nomination sewn up long ago, is watching in agony as that lead evaporates into thin air. Poor Bill, who seems to be fantasizing himself as the vice-president (could anyone else possible fill the role? Meanwhile McCain is touring the war zone and trying to act presidential. He will never be able to shed ...
