And you thought he was artsy fartsy BEFORE...

You've read his pithy quotes on my blog. You've seen his awesome work at his own site (and in the pages of daily newspapers, numerous promotional publications, and the annual family calendar). Now, coming to an art center that may or may not be near you, Tim Schoon, picture-taker guy, presents his fantastic works all matted and framed and fancy-like. It's official. He's an artist. (And a suffering, struggling, tortured one at that, based on what he's been like to live with the past few weeks as he has been preparing...)

I'm beyond excited for him. This is such a big deal! He might try to shrug it off or minimize the importance. Don't let him. His pictures are so beautiful. I cannot wait to see them hanging in a gallery!!

If you get the opportunity, I'd encourage you to attend the opening reception, 5-7 p.m., Thursday, Jan. 15, at the Ankeny Art Center, 1520 SW Ordnance Road, Ankeny, IA 50023. Here's a map locator link.

"Seen in Iowa," a gallery show of photos from Iowa by Tim Schoon and Larry Mendenhall, a friend and another fantastic shooter from the Des Moines area, will be displayed in the side gallery through February.

Is it OK to own a Canadian?

In her radio show, Dr Laura Schlesinger said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22, and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following response is an open letter to Dr. Laura, written by a U.S. resident, and posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative: Dear Dr. Laura: Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind them that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination ... End of debate. I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some other elements of God's Laws and how to follow them. 1. Leviticus 25:44 states that I may possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexic...

In memoriam...

I remember the first time I heard the name "Les Anderson." A bunch of Wichita State University communication majors were sitting around on campus, talking about classes they planned to take. Several people warned me: watch out for Les Anderson. He was tough. He had a murderous grading scale. It was nearly impossible to get an A. They weren't kidding. But he wasn't tough just to be a tyrant. From his teaching sprang a fleet of incredible, successful journalists, writers, editors, broadcasters, public relations experts, advertisers, non-profit professionals...I could go on and on. Most importantly, he created a legion of people who wanted to make a difference in the world. The greatest gift Les gave to them all? He believed in them, cared about them for their own personal stories as well as the stories they told for class assignments or in the pages of his hometown newspaper. Les was my teacher. My boss. My mentor. My conscience. My champion. My friend. When I started c...
