Oh my god! I've just finished reading Density of Souls, and I'm just flabbergasted. What an incredible book! I never expected the ending, and for those of you who have not yet read it … I won't spoil it. What a tremendous talent Christopher Rice has. I'm now eagerly going to search out his second… Continue reading

More Creek Stuff
Today our community has a master naturalist coming to visit to provide additional assistance with the creek area in the neighborhood. I'm hoping this is close to the last step before we start.
Density of Souls
Started reading Density of Souls by Christopher Rice last night. Already half way through the book. Met a guy online today whose nickname was DensityOfSouls, so I chatted with him briefly. He is in Sydney, Australia, and has just re-read the book. He loves it, and wants me to email him when I've finished so… Continue reading
Abusive Parents
Tonight at dinner, a friend hit their dog really hard a number of times, and not in the way it’s meant to be done. The dog was trembling with fear (it seemed) at one point. I had to turn away. It reminded me of how abusive parents can be, and you really have very little… Continue reading
Maybe I’m Sensitive
Well it's been an odd few days. The weekend was kind of odd for me. I spent most of my time at home working on things that really didn't matter. Chris was at work most of Saturday, and I just wasn't feeling 100%. Friday night we went to coffee, and had quite a few new… Continue reading

Yesterday, we went to Tim & Mike's Summer Blast party, and had a very enjoyable time. It's always nice to catch up with old friends, and make new… Continue reading
A Different Independence Day
Today was the fourth of July in the US. Chris was telling me today that this year was different because of the recent Supreme Court decision, and the words “… with liberty and justice for all” has a much deeper and truer meaning for everyone. I thought that was very insightful, and understood how important… Continue reading
The Supremes are Awesome
Today the Supreme Court announced their decision in the Texas Sodomy case, and it was good news for all men and women in the US. In a 6-3 decision, the court overturned the case of two gay men caught having sex while the police were investigating a false report of a burglary. The case got… Continue reading
