I have not had time to upload the biblioblogger intros or other SBL ruminations, but I thought I would share another California pic or two. This one is from the telescope at Manhattan Beach. Use it as a desktop, it might even help you remain…uh…focused. Or perhaps something more festive? […]

Yesterday we had a great time, going into NYC with family. We had 5 kids and 8 adults in a van. We walked around 5th Avenue, made a Christmas Greeting with Gap!, and then went to the Christmas Spectacular with the Rockettes at the Radio City Music Hall. The show […]

We took the kids to select some pumpkins today. (I shouldn’t say “pick” since we did not go out to a field and pick our own off the vine. When did they stop doing that?) The farm had a table of gourds and I took the picture to the right […]
