Dear Dr Pepper, This is a hard letter to write, but–to be honest–it has been a long time in coming. Let me be upfront: I think we’ve been seeing too much of each other, and I want to spend some time apart. Well, I suppose it isn’t so much that we’ve been seeing too much … Continue reading
Well, the election is past, and America has chosen to continue with President Barack Obama for another four years. I wrote about this in a commentary published on the LCG and Tomorrow’s World websites which were graciously published yesterday, and I won’t revisit that territory here. Though do click through and read it if you haven’t: … Continue reading
I thought some of you might like this. Checking out new stuff on Vi Hart’s YouTube channel tonight (a person whose videos I’ve mentioned before more than once), I came across the Numberphile channel and its video introducing different sizes of infinity — one of my favorite topics. In the event that some of you have never … Continue reading
Howdy! Finally back to the blog after my annual pre-teen camp-related self-imposed exile (additional exiles probably coming in connection with teen camp and the Feast), and it is good to type, again. Though, as usual, I have a lot on my brain and not much time to delve into it all, so I thought I … Continue reading
I wish I had noticed this article when it first came out in the Wall Street Journal a week ago: “Polishing the Dimon Principle” by Jason Zweig (the online article doesn’t seem to require a subscription and also includes a video, which I have not seen).

Here’s the first paragraph of the commentary: … Continue reading
I just read that Mariann Edgar Budde — the “spiritual leader of 40,500 Episcopalians in eighty-nine congregations and twenty Episcopal schools in the District of Columbia and four Maryland counties” and the “the Chair and President of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral Foundation, which oversees the ministries of the Washington National Cathedral and three Cathedral schools” — … Continue reading
Wow — it has been a really long time since I have posted! Things have been terribly busy, so it was a worthwhile absence, and I have been writing, just not here. And even now I don’t plan to say much (usually a good sign that this will be a long post, huh?), but I did want … Continue reading
As I have done past years [EDIT: Which can be seen here -- WGS], I thought I would list some of the lessons I learned from “deleavening” our home and property this year. I like to emphasize that the physical act of removing the leaven from our homes and eat unleavened bread every day is meant … Continue reading
I just read an alert in the weekly update I receive from the Home School Legal Defense Association (HSLDA) that described a chilling law the Canadian province of Alberta is looking to pass. Here’s a summary from the HSLDA which includes what appears to be a quote from the bill: The legislative proposal known as … Continue reading
