I do stories. Sing some, write some, tell some, film some, preach some. Better stories make a better world. Sort-of retired Presbyterian pastor. Singer-songwriter. Filmmaker. Grandpa. Slinger of discs.

I was in heaven for a hot minute and there were these 72 virgins and I thought the registrar made a mistake because I was a Christian but I was willing to overlook the error.

Sorry for your loss, but thanks for sharing this story. Makes me happy that we do business with them.

I was at the Cape for that launch. I was 16 and we were dropping my older sister off for college in Florida. The noise of those engines was incredible several miles away.

Makes sense, especially if they are going to try to get Early a start. Any chance Gray starts one?

It’s only about a mile from the Pentagon. There’s plenty of space there. Hell, the parking lot is hundreds of acres that sit empty most of the time.

Only ball I ever got at a big league game was one that Sanguillen tossed to me during batting practice in Atlanta around that time. Always had a soft spot for him after that.

Churches, mosques, synagogues are nonprofits - 501(c3). The property they hold is exempt from taxes. Church employees pay income taxes like employees of any nonprofit. Most pastors, imams, rabbis pay income taxes filing as self-employed (for complicated stupid reasons related to social security).

A few years after I graduated high school, the school’s long time football coach didn’t show up to school one day. When he didn’t answer a call the principal went to his home and discovered that he had died of a heart attack. I wonder if someone could send the principal to check on Mitch McConnell.

That is a worthy tradition! My beloved and I used to get a few of those and coffee and go sit on the curb to cheer on the marathon runners when we lived on the Northside decades ago.

I have lived a rich, full 66 years, but in twice that many I’d never top the lunch I got to share with Wendell Berry and Cornel West. Rest in peace, Mr. Berry. No writer has meant more to me than him. The world has lost a giant.

Turns out there are plenty of alternatives to Google. This week I’m going to see how much of my digital life I can remove from a company that coddles nazis. I’ll write about it later and share the experience of an old man shouting out the virtual clouds.

There’s already a lovely public course there that is used by all kinds of people in DC. He wants some stupid expansion that’s going to mess up a great running and biking route.
