Yogh and Ash and Thorn. Devonian Corals →. Things My Father Taught Me. June 15, 2015. Earlier today, the pastor of my parents’ church asked Facebook, “What’s the best thing your father taught you? I found that I was hard-pressed to give one solitary item, since my dad has taught me so much: in words, by his example, and by virtue of what he emphasized in day-to-day life. He catechized me well, taught me the principles of being a good student, and gave lots of other pieces of practical advice. Is there a ...

It being the Monday after Daylight Savings Time starts, I think it’s fair to say that work weighs even heavier than normal on company employees today. That being said, the following lyrics are not really about my job. But they might well apply to. For anyone else, join me in song:. Meaningless meetings that swallow up mornings. Random-ass deadlines that come without warning. Waiting for Red Bull to give me its wings. Nit-picking nee...

Rest for the Spirits →. On Moving, Maxims, and Maintenance. September 12, 2011. As no one could really guess from such a period of radio silence, I have moved out of the household of my parents and into an apartment with Thalia.

Things My Father Taught Me →. Yogh and Ash and Thorn. June 10, 2015. Back in May, I shared Peter Bellamy’s setting of Rudyard Kipling, noting that I’d stumbled over it thanks to the glory and munificence of the internet. More specifically, I was contemplating Anglo-Saxon words that start with an ash or a thorn, and came across this parody by Catherine Faber. Yogh and Ash and Thorn. Some time between the year fourteen-ought-five and -fifty-one. There was a strange and radical change in spoken English done.

August 23, 2016. It is far easier. To fill my stomach with pleasant things. Thankfully keeping your blood sugar from bottoming out makes life suck a bit less. August 19, 2016. During my vacation last week, I read. Robert Swartwood’s collection of ficlets. All sorts of authors contributed to it, each writing a particular sort of story: a composition of 25 words, or fewer, which does not simply tell a story but hints at a larger picture. For example, the very first: Joe Lansdale’s The Return. Unfortunately...
