Desultory

A brief break from Africa for a moment. Over a year ago I signed up for a Twitter account. I tweeted briefly and then decided I could not be that self-absorbed. I already have an extensive website and a blog devoted to me, why did I need to take it… Read More »Desultory

Sedulous

Once a year I get together and have a meal with Mark Wolfram. Unfortunately for me, I only get to see Mark once a year because he spends most of the year in Taiwan teaching, doing mission work and publishing The Taiwan Times. Wednesday night was that night. Mark met… Read More »Sedulous

Ames on the Half Shell

Last Friday was the first Ames on the Half Shell of the season. There was a pretty impressive turnout. I personally think that this can be connected to the incredible improvement in marketing between this year and last year.

Saturday the 14th

I have one loyal subscriber that incessantly complains whenever I post too many posts without pictures. He often sends me an email that in essence “boos” me. I usually tell him that he is a big boy now and that he needs to use his words. But I’m quite certain… Read More »Saturday the 14th
