Saturday was my 23rd birthday. We had a nice party and enjoyed ourselves very well. I was the recipient of numerous very generous gifts including a very nice pair of shoes from my wonderful wife (see picture). Saturday was also the date of a horrible tragedy in the world of college football. To explain the true horror […]

On the attainment of happiness pt. 3
Weekly excerpt from St. Thomas Aquinas’ Summa Theologica.Article 3. Whether one can be happy in this life? Objection 1. It would seem that Happiness can be had in this life. For it is written (Psalm 118:1): “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord.” But this happens in […]
On the attainment of happiness pt. 2
Article 2. Whether one man can be happier than another? Objection 1. It would seem that one man cannot be happier than another. For Happiness is “the reward of virtue,” as the Philosopher says (Ethic. i, 9). But equal reward is given for all the works of virtue; because it is written (Matthew 20:10) that […]
On the attainment of happiness pt. 1
An excerpt from the “Summa Theologica” by St. Thomas Aquinas. Among the greatest literary works of all time. This is one part I particularly enjoy and am fascinated by. It is rather lengthy so I will post only one of the eight points each week. I hope you enjoy. On the attainment of happiness We […]
Of Pooches and Poltergeists
We went camping last weekend. It was pretty sweet. The campground had their big Halloween celebration and my FIL (Father In Law) went crazy (as usual) with the decorations. The King of Ghoul himself. I am so proud to be related to this real American hero. Truly a living legend. Inspiring isn’t it? He NEVER […]
But wait…..there’s more!
I added more song videos to my band page. Looks like a few people have been watching some of the others so I figured I’d add a couple more. They are not very good, partly because all I have to edit the vids with is Windows Movie Maker. Currently I have no idea whatsoever what […]
You never know…..
I got called in to work today. I was asked to work in the circulation department at the library I am employed at. I normally work in the reference department helping people with computers but today I am working with books. It is always interesting working over here. I have already been put on the […]
Vacation
Not sure where to go on our next vacation. Ash and I have been talking about it for quite a while. Might go to Canada, or visit relatives somewhere, or just go camping somewhere, I don’t know. Tough call. It would be fun if someone wanted to go camping with us or go up to […]
A day, like any other
My head hurts. I have been working diligently today on a new website design for my father in law’s business. Been using Photoshop and Dreamweaver heavily. It is very slow going. I want very much to get good at this. It is very satisfying and allows for so much creativity. I guess I just need […]
Yummy
Ash has been working on an interesting paper for her English class. She is writing an informative essay on MSG in our food. This has brought about some conversations between us about that and other food additives that bother us. Adding to the discussion was our recent viewing of “The Informant” with Matt Damon, which […]
Cluck cluck!
Mom inspired me with her chicken picture posts. I love chickens. Here is a picture of a chicken that I touched up during Accounting class the other day. I also like mom’s blog. Way to go Mo! Caytie’s is also delightful, albeit a bit…….goaty at times.
