from the frozen tundra

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

A word of advice, never take a long car trip with three fully grown people in the back of a Blazer. It just isn't built for that many people. I have sores on my rear end to prove it. We arrived in Wisconsin late Friday afternoon, and have been ...

old times, new times

In Review: Broken Social Scene – Cannery Ballroom, Nashville, TN – 11/18/08

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

O Lord, God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? You rule over all the kingdoms of the nations. In your hand are power and might, so that none is able to withstand you. - 2 Chron. 20:6 Men do not differ much about what things they will call ...
