I wonder what she's thinking... Not many good shots from this year's dance recital. The lighting is difficult, to say the least. But, I do like this one.

OLLI: Writing our lives

ScriptyGoddess and Pixelog.org

I've been fascinated with pixelog.org - such a beautiful, elegant, simple and generally delightful site. I found this link on scriptygoddess . One of the things that drove me to WordPress was the fact that it was PHP based. It leaves the doors wide open for you to do...

Sometimes I’m Oscar the Grouch on Mondays

You name it, I hate it... I found a sheet of stickers in my scrapbooking box, and it struck me that I needed to talk about my life last Monday. Basically my attitude toward like was "Don't EVEN TRY to make me happy - It won't work and then we'll both be in a bad...

IVAN – here we sit

Currently there is a tornado warning out there, it's windy and raining. The glass doors on the fireplace blow open from time to time. We got the Auburn University central computers down last night at about 11 - the library servers were shut down before we left for the...

Hurricane Watch – again

Hurricane Watch – again

OK - it's hurricane week again - First we watched Charley - and got some rain. And, we watched Frances developing while Charley was ravaging Central Florida. Then, we braced for Frances within a week or 10 days. (And we noticed Ivan's strength building). We got lots...

Thought you might like to know what the weather is like here in east Alabama - we're sitting in the projected path of Frances... this should change thru the weekend. Update: Frances seems to have slowed a bit, so we think we'll see effects on Monday night and Tuesday...

On the Road Again – Family Reunion in Maine

On the Road Again – Family Reunion in Maine

"Pre-Reunion" - a day at Pine Point (Maine)... We had a lovely day at the beach on Saturday before the big Nicol-Vermette Family Reunion. Nice sun, good company, card games, novels, walks and a bit of body-surfting. The day began late morning - Henry and his crew had...

Family Reunion

The next day was the Official Reunion.... More pictures are coming, but these are the few that Louise (the real power behind the reunion) sent out almost immediately.

Greetings from Paris

Greetings from Paris

This week I'm back working in Paris again. I'll post pictures later. Update: I'm finally getting around to posting the pictures from Paris. These are just the one's from the day John Freund and I had lunch with Giovanna. She's doing well - I'd like to have her come...

  • Luke 17:11-19 offers us the story where 10 lepers ask Jesus for help. All 10 are cured of leprosy as they were headed out to follow his instruction to present themselves to the priests. Only one, a Samaritan (foreigner, not a chosen person) turns back to say “Thank you.” Jesus tells this one that his […]
  • This Sunday the Catholic Church (at least in the US) celebrates the feast of Christ the King. Interesting how the readings for mass focus on shepherds and sheep and goats.

  • What about this Sunday’s Gospel hit me? For reference, read below. Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew 18,15-20.
