Mea culpa, oh blogreaders!!
Blogreading faithful, I have been too lazy for far too long. I = bad blogger. You = stiffed, and I am sorry for that. (Incidentally, I forgot that I had a reader from South Carolina, who on a recent visit to STL reminded me that I hadn't written squat since the first of this month...YEESH, when someone from several states away reminds you of ( Read more... ) -
Have YOU been on "the list"?
Halloween was fun, if fleeting. Highlight of the evening: carving a naughty, suggestive jack-o-lantern at Scott's party.
Tonight, I attended an advance, invite-only screening of American Gangster. My friend Joy got us into the screening through her job connections @ the MUNY. I think it was the first time I've gotten into somewhere becuase I was on ( Read more... ) -

I was a little confused and ( Read more... ) -

- I've bought eggnog...and the eggnog coma isn't far off.
The rest is yet to be accomplished. In fact, I've had to forget about "window shopping in Chicago" because I'm no longer going to Chi-town this Wednesday. Circumstances arose, and I just cannot ignore them. It's a bummer, but I'm not completely ( Read more... ) -
some philosophizing/ranting on religion
I just got back from a very telling, oft-disturbing documentary called Jesus Camp. I cannot even remember where I heard about it, but I figured I ought to check it out. The film centers around a Missouri-based Pentecostal ministry led by a strong-willed female pastor (Becky Fischer) and aimed at very young children from age 6 through pre-teens ( Read more... )
