Tree in Canyonlands National Park, Utah.
We are done converting, adjusting and key-wording photos from the last few months - that was pretty fast for us! I’m not sure about this photo, but it is an image that struck a cord with Janine, so I’m posting it for her.
Oh, What a crazy night. It’s about 235 miles from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to Yakima, Washington. I left on Friday, biking 80 miles. Then, I did 115 yesterday. That’s right, 115. I ended at the intersection of two small state highways, with only 40 left to go.
I wanted to go to a church in Yakima called Mountain Top International, which has “prophecies.” For example, it
This morning I struggle as many of you do on a daily basis with being patient through trying times. It seems easy to sit back on days that everything is going fine, and let God lead us along. What about the times when things aren't going the way you want them to? What about when you know what is the best for the situation, but can't make it happen? Do we throw our hands up at God and say "I've
I sat down to write a blog, to review a top TV programme, and couldn't think of anything I'd watched - enough said really! In the past week, I can honestly say the only TV I've seen has been the...

Jijiga, Eastern Ethiopia - The road from Harar runs for more than 600 miles east towards the border with Somalia, penetrating deep into the desiccated badlands of the Ogaden desert, the dusty heart of Ethiopia's war-torn Somali regional state.Sparse scrub and thorn bush, brown termite mounds, and flocks of bony sheep edge up against the burning asphalt strip. Wandering camels are a hazard to traffic; but vehicles are few. Like the occasional herdsman, standing outside transportable mudul huts, they stare in mild surprise as white UN Land Cruisers race by.The road's destination is Gode, via the regional capital of Jijiga, and the towns of Kebri Beyah, Degehabur and Kebri Dehar. But the part-finished two-lane road also blazes a figurative path, unwelcome to some, into the isolated and disput
Steve's Deli When I first moved from Detroit to Chicago, one of my first questions was: “Where are the good delis?” My question was promptly followed by the answer: “There are none.” “Really? There must be a few. There are a lot of Jews in Chicago.” “Nope, no good delis.” I tried Eppy’s— horrible. The Bagel in Lakeview was decent, but a deli calls for more than decent. It calls for, well, the kind of reaction Meg Ryan had at Katz’s in When Harry Met Sally. Seriously, I’m asking for a damn good corned beef sandwich. But I’m not expecting a Second Avenue Deli or a Katz’s, I’m asking for well, Steve’s. Steve’s is easily the best deli in Detroit and soon-to-be the best in Chicago. When my younger sister heard that Steve’s was opening up

I really like Dan Savage. I used to look forward to reading his sex advice column every week until our local alternative rag replaced with it with some tedious, dull sex advice column that I’d have to be paid to bother reading. Anyway, I like his writing. It’s funny and honest and uninhibited and I really enjoyed this book.
So…on to my questions.
One thing that got to me in this book is how these guys didn’t have to go through the initial questioning of there OWN fertility. Two men can’t make a baby, so they just moved straight to adoption. My question is this: Do you think the reason that you’ve gone so far with your fertility treatments is because you are caught up in proving to yourself
Offices must be barren, desert-like wastelands, devoid of water.
How else would one explain the office aunty who has not one, but two giant jugs of water, multiple mugs and a cup of coffee on her desk? She must be really thirsty to stock up on all that water.
Or maybe she’s just too lazy to walk to the pantry barely 10 metres away.

So, here I am participating in an online book group. I’ve always rather wanted to join a book group, but my general dislike of social gatherings has kept me from doing so. Plus, I figured I wouldn’t like the books.
Reading Waiting for Daisy by Peggy Orenstein took care of the first problem but not, I fear, the second. I really didn’t like this book. It was a quick, easy read, I’ll give it that, but the narrator was so irritating I just felt annoyed by her rather than sympathetic. I will give her kudos for portraying herself in such an unflattering light though I am honestly not sure she showed enough self-awareness to know she made herself look like an unpleasant person.
Peggy struggles through the book with questions of heritage, genes, and religion. How important is it for you and your partner to have a child that is biologically yours and why? What feelings go into that decision/choice for you right now if you are still trying to have a child ?
