Personal Notes
My family just recently returned from a vacation in Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. An unbelievably breathtaking experience. Among other things, we were fortunate to see grizzly and brown bears, elk, bison, osprey, deer, moose and many other animals. The physical features of both parks are simply stunning. We had the pleasure of joining…
I am fortunate to have been blessed with a wonderful Dad. And on this Father’s Day, his special day, I want to pay a special tribute to him. Dad, who turned 80 last month, grew up in the Depression years. It was kids from his high school class year of 1943 who joined the World…
If you’re interested, over at Spinning Clio I’ve posted on how a piece of historical “fact” has been misused to support the oft-used “the-Founders-weren’t-religious” argument. (Fair warning: it deals with treaty language.)
Heck, may as well pile on. . . For those of you who drop by my Ocean State Blogger site, I thought I’d prepare you for a new site design. (Nothing big, but it’s an improvement). Secondly, over at OSB I’ve announced another new “niche” blog, called Spinning Clio. Thanks!
For anybody who’s interested: now that the issue of National Review with my piece on Andrew Sullivan has slipped into the back catalogue, I’ve posted a version of my contribution over on Dust in the Light, with the title “The Foibles of Longing.”
Just in case you still haven’t made it to the magazine store for the latest issue of National Review, Marriage Debate Blog has posted another excerpt of my piece therein.
I just noticed that NRO has posted the first section of my “One Man’s Marriage Trap” piece. It’s only about a tenth of the whole, so now there’s another step for you to take: Read the excerpt. Buy the magazine. Write to the editors promising that you’ll buy additional issues in which my work appears.…
I’ve put my personal thoughts about the coming of the new year over on Dust in the Light. But I wanted to be sure to wish Anchor Rising readers a happy New Year’s Day, as well. We’ve got plans to make 2005 an interesting, successful year for Anchor Rising, and we hope you’ll be playing…
With the current confluence of Christmas and our nation at war, I think it appropriate to mention a few noteworthy writings that deal with the topic. First is a recent column written by Idaho Senator Mike Crapo that details the Continental Army’s Christmas in 1778. Despite the sense of desparation surrounding the cause of upstart…
The author listed in the corner of the latest print edition cover of National Review (writing about Andrew Sullivan) has a familiar name: Skimming the online version, I see the author apparently writes for this blog and Dust in the Light. Interesting development.
