ChipSmith: Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson's Prayer
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2009/01/rt-rev-gene-robinsons-prayer.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Monday, January 19, 2009. Rt Rev. Gene Robinson's Prayer. Many have heard about the various "prayer controversies" surrounding the inauguration. In the midst of arguing about who signals what to whom, it might be easy to overlook the content of the various prayers. Bishop Robinson gave the invocation at Sunday's pre-inaugural concert "We Are One." (Transcript below.). O God of our many understandings, we pray that you will. Bless us w...

ChipSmith: February 2009
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Hong Kong Trip Part VI. I actually wrote most of this post back in February in the weeks after I got home. It sat as a draft in blogger mocking me any time I thought about blogging. I needed to finish it up before writing about anything else, right? And then Facebook got in the way. I only have a certain amount of time to spend online, and Facebook started to suck up all of that. The boardwalk at Stanley.

ChipSmith: Porterhouse Steaks
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2008/12/porterhouse-steaks.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Sunday, December 28, 2008. Partly because of my high cholesterol and partly for environmental reasons, I don't eat a lot of beef these days. Since it is a rare part of my diet, I only want to eat excellent beef. A porterhouse steak from Peter Luger's Steak House in Brooklyn, for example. The NY Times. Has a short article today about Peter Luger's, accompanied by this multimedia feature.

ChipSmith: Sunday Dinners
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2009/01/sunday-dinners.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Monday, January 12, 2009. A few weeks ago, since last October I have been making Sunday dinner each week at my church. We have a Taize-style service. In the evening at 5:00, dinner at 6:00, and usually some kind of class at 7:00. Between now and Lent, the class is a book discussion. We make sure that these dinners are not standard church potluck meals. No tuna hotdish or jello with unidentified pieces of fruit when I'm cooking! The fi...

ChipSmith: Buy Lance Snacks
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2008/12/buy-lance-snacks.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Sunday, December 28, 2008. It can be hard to believe, but every once in a while a corporation does the right thing. In the middle of December, the Archway bakery in Ashland, Ohio was suddenly closed by the private equity firm that owned it. 300 workers lost their jobs just a few weeks before Christmas. That's the unsurprising bad news. The 60 workers rehired so far are earning their previous salary and retained their seniority. Th...

ChipSmith: Hong Kong Trip Part III
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2009/02/hong-kong-trip-part-iii.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Monday, February 02, 2009. Hong Kong Trip Part III. Today was a bit busier. First, of course, was the Super Bowl. I followed the first half of the game online while eating breakfast with Monte and Finn, and then headed out on my own to watch the second half in a Steelers bar (which meant I did not see this play. I came prepared to help Finn cheer for the right team. Hong Kong Park was wonderful. I took a lot of pictures in the Avi...

ChipSmith: Hong Kong Trip Part II
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2009/02/hong-kong-trip-part-ii.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Monday, February 02, 2009. Hong Kong Trip Part II. So much for my hope to blog daily. I was just too tired on Sunday night, so I'll double up tonight. Sunday was a rather lazy day. We woke up early but stuck around the apartment in the morning. Finn's mornings tend to be a series of eating, playing for about half an hour, and napping. That's a nice life, huh? Around lunchtime we ventured out for some local exploring. Make your own bad...

ChipSmith: Hong Kong Trip Part V
http://chipsmith.blogspot.com/2009/02/hong-kong-trip-part-v.html
New marital status, new city, new career. Must be time for a new blog. Thursday, February 05, 2009. Hong Kong Trip Part V. We switched things up a bit on Wednesday morning. Rather than venturing out of my own while Finn napped, we talked with my parents on Skype. Talking to Grandma and Grandpa. This is a relatively clear day in Hong Kong during February. Finn is scheming how to get his hands on his Momma's mocha. On the way home from Victoria Peak, we stopped at the Chestnut man's cart near their apartme...
