A Day in the Life of a Fool
Who needs Jacque Cousteau or Stephen Hawking to tell you about a life that has never been explored? Allow me to give you a tour of a typical day in the life of a dweeb/dork/geek/nerd. It's easy. All we have to do is look at my typical and mundane day.

My Experience
Today, I want to talk about something I don't tend to share with people. Most of you who are regular readers of my internet soap-boxes already know that there is an interest and an understanding of religious issues that have shaped our political discourse of the day.

A Letter to the Heartbroken
This letter was never written with pen and paper for the person it was intended for, and I don't think I will end up sharing it with the individual described, as we are not as close as we used to be. But it felt right to share, and I hope that at the very least that it helps get you through whatever it is that is coming up next in your corner of the Universe.
