There’s certainly no end to the number of excellent articles about abortion in the blogosphere. Hugo has posted a number of times about his struggle to maintain a consistent life ethic.

This week’s theme for photothursday was From a Vehicle. It gave me lots of chances to get strange looks from people as I snapped pictures of them and their cars as we drove by. But all the shots of the world outside the car came out rather uninteresting, so I tried takings shots [...]

Nance (my wife) thinks gymnastics is the best sport God ever gave to humanity (qualification: I’ve learned the term “gymnastics” has to be qualified since artistic gymnastics is light years different from rhythmic gymnastics, in the eyes of aficionados anyway). She also knows an inordinate amount about the sport since she’s done it for [...]
