1. Been a fairly busy week. Got my latest appreciation video up and running, been working on tomorrow's entry in the 'compare / contrast' series, as well as working on my current book and doing stuff around the house. Also had to do some research / testing for another project, but that seems all in … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: Mundane Thoughts of Last Week

Friday Flotsam: The Importance of the Things of This World
1. I think the thing that people hate and fear most about Christianity, especially Catholicism, is how important it makes the things of this world. Nobody objects to deism - belief in a creator God who is largely indifferent to humanity. Nobody seriously objects to 'spirituality' or a general belief in the afterlife or something … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: The Importance of the Things of This World
Friday Flotsam: Some Aphorisms
1. Loving your enemy does not mean forgetting that he is your enemy. 2. That we cannot judge what we don't know doesn't mean that we can't judge what we do know. E.g. I don't know the state of X's soul, nor the internal motions that lead him to act as he does, but I … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: Some Aphorisms
Friday Flotsam: Dean Koontz and more Agatha Christie
1. It has been an odd week for me. I've been strangely listless and unable to settle down to anything (I mean, more so than usual). I really don't know what to ascribe it to: depression, anxiety, medication side-effects, or just old-fashioned vice. Suppose the only way to find out is simply to keep working … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: Dean Koontz and more Agatha Christie
Friday (Saturday) Flotsam: Agatha Christie
1. Missed yesterday, obviously. I'm currently on a kind of personal mini-retreat at my sister's, which meant being on the road or otherwise occupied for the past few days. 2. On the way up I listened to the Miss Marple novel They Do it With Mirrors. It isn't one of Dame Agatha Christie's best (I … Continue reading Friday (Saturday) Flotsam: Agatha Christie
Friday Flotsam: Hodgepodge
1. Most of what's been on my mind lately has been personal stuff that I don't particularly feel like sharing over the interwebs. Plus I've been generally just tired lately, so it'll probably be a thin one this time. 2. Doing a lot of outlining lately. In fact I'm starting to think I've been writing … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: Hodgepodge
Friday Flotsam: Mostly Random
1. Something has intruded on my personal life, which I'm still learning to deal with. It's knocked my attention (already unbalanced) for a real loop, so this'll be kind of haphazard. It's a personal matter, but just know that...well, I don't know what things will be like going forward. 2. I saw Godzilla vs. Kong … Continue reading Friday Flotsam: Mostly Random
Friday Flotsam – Mostly on Superman
1. Been adjusting lately to various life developments (yeah, I'm gonna go with that), which means I haven't quite worked out how to fit blogging into the picture. I intend to blog more regularly going forward, but so far I haven't worked out how. 2. Working on a post summarizing how I think Zack Synder … Continue reading Friday Flotsam – Mostly on Superman

Friday Flotsam – Psych Issues and I Get a Review!
1. First and foremost, my appalling ego requires me to advise you all to hop over to A Song of Joy for a review of my first published book: The Wisdom of Walt Disney. It's also the first review of that book that I've received. To say more would be unpardonably self-aggrandizing. 2. In celebration … Continue reading Friday Flotsam – Psych Issues and I Get a Review!
