bob jones university recently sent this note to it’s alumni and friends:
BJU Press published The Christian and Drinking: A Biblical Perspective on Moderation and Abstinence by Dr. Randy Jaeggli…. [He] presents Scriptural, medical and cultural evidence that brings the reader to the conclusion that a Christian should totally abstain from… alcohol…. The sensitivity and complexity of the topic of the book… have caused confusion for some readers…. While our position is clear… we do not want the University to be in a position of causing confusion or misunderstanding among our Christian brethren. Therefore, we are temporarily pulling the book from distribution.
i’ll drink to that… smithwick’s please…
for what it’s worth, the barnes & noble store now has free wifi… tried it last night… they’re open ‘til 10 p.m. …
some days the office is the loneliest place in the world…
Painters and poets have been wed from the beginning. Language itself has pictorial roots.

GPOYW – recording studio edition (need more acoustic foam for this diy broadcast/recording studio… fyi, with a bootstrap-to-nothing budget, the podcasts have received almost 50,000 downloads)
the south garden (or the pepper & tomato patch) at mid july: 1 hot banana pepper plant & 1 jalapeno plant are still struggling to grow in this shady spot. the 4 bell pepper plants began to blossom. i think i may have a few spare dollars to buy additional pepper plants to fill in the empty space in the garden.
the north garden patch, mid july: though a quarter was destoryed by a very hungry critter, there are still a variety of un harmed plants: 4 pumpkin plants, 4 winter squash plants, 4 zuchini plants, 10 canaloupe plants, 4 cuccumber plants, 10 beefsteak tomoto plants & 6 cherry tomato plants.
i’ve heard it’s not to late in these parts to replant spinach plants. anyone know if that’s true?
something thing attacked the north garden late saturday night, early sunday morning: i’m not sure if it was a raccoon or the groundhog couple that was spotted late last week.
The best of the new crop are making use of both innovative form and linear narrative, producing poems that are at once relevant and accessible—in some cases even popular.
