We’re in the midst of a 2-week vacation from school right at the moment and boy, I thought I’d have been able to “blog up” some major pontifications! It’s not for lack of swirling thoughts in my gray matter and my spirit. But to get them...
Alas and alack…
…is that spelled right? Never mind. It’s been too long since I blogged. Obviously, like any web site, once you give birth, the care and feeding is the worst. So let me join in welcoming my friend Stacey Jillson into the “blog-care” scene with...
Trapped in Hp-double toothpicks…
It’ll be a cold day in you-know-where before I fork over any more money to Hewlett-Packard for a printer or a computer. I don’t want to get into a war of words on product quality with one person saying that hp products are the best around and me saying the...

This past weekend, my daughter and I witnessed history. We were just 2 of about 300 people, I would guess, who had this privilege…tied to a responsibility. From November 1884 to February 1885 Berlin, Germany hosted a significant conference whose repercussions...
Very Strange Indeed
November 11th. Armistice Day. The End of WWI. For non-European readers, this is a very important day in most of Europe. In the States, we celebrate Veteran’s Day and on the surface, the Veteran’s Day and Armistice Day celebrations are similar. There is...
…the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him…
We moved into our house in July, 2004 (moving report). Our house is a “duplex” of sorts and dates back to 1900. It’s a hodge-podge of an Alsatian home, attached to the structures on either side of it, like most of the buildings in the town center...
Educational Serendipity…
Just the other day I had a moment of educational serendipity. A little background of the educational experiences of our children: Rachel – Homeschooling in America; 1 year of private Christian school in America; 1 year of public school in America; homeschooling...
