The Inner Workings


Sometimes, like when I see things like the order of her closet, I get concerned about the inner workings of my daughter's mind.


Then I see things like this taped to her door.




The Clueless Series


Mrs. White: The Dark Place


55 years after Emily Shwartz runs away from a horrible history,
a "Mrs. White" finds herself teaching an incompetent, German
parlor maid how to make a pot roast.  But when a mysterious and
yet incredibly boring man appears on Mrs. White's employer's
doorsteps, Mrs. White's life becomes considerably more
surprising.  Unwelcome memories come back to her.  Uniformed men
ask her questions. With the help of an odd women who is part-
icularly fond of a certain bird, Mrs. S. Rouge, and a portly
detective, Mrs. White uncovers a mystery with shocking results.


PLEASE FORGIVE SPELLING MISTAKES!


What I love about this little bit of insight into her mind is that she is not only intent on writing a series of stories using the characters from the game of Clue, but also that she intends to do so on the 1959 Royal Deluxe manual typewriter.

Through the classes, general sessions, and referenced symposiums (in the ancient Greek sense), I left with a calmer sense of purpose, renewed motivation, and a smoldering desire to make the world a better place. By firmly placing the moral foundation under the tremendous achievements of the Founding Fathers first in my own mind, I then hope to help do so in the minds of others who have chosen the fundamental alternative to live, turning that smolder into a bonfire. One of the most immediately motivating things I learned at OCON this week regards the light tha

There's No Place Like Home

Vacation was fun, but I like being home. I guess I'm just boring that way. There was plenty of sun, sand, salt water kisses, family, food, and fun. Maybe it was the lack of tutus and tiaras. Now we're all experiencing a slight vacation hangover and need to rest. It's a good thing we have a few days before work and school.
