Unfinished Business

10 unfinished projects hanging over my head

1. Knitting -- I could do a whole list of knitting projects alone that I have left to finish. A couple pairs of socks. A baby blanket. A shawl. A hat. A scarf. So much yarn, so little time.

2. Finish the basement -- First we have to clean the basement. And then we have to make it look like a real living space.

3. Clean my closet -- What a pit.

4. The floor -- Actually the floor's finished (lovely Pergo) but we still have no moulding around the base in many spots, and the stair edge is still raw.

5. Christmas shopping -- This is so unfinished, it hasn't even begun.

6. The book -- I keep saying I'm going to write a book. I keep writing a bit every few months. And yet it's still hanging out there...

7. Quilt -- I still need to do the border/edge of a quilt I started what feels like a decade ago.

8. Brownies -- I need to bake brownies for a coworker's birthday. That'll get done tomorrow night. One thing to check off the list!

9. Prepare for H's Birthday -- Wrap presents, make goody bags, pay for the cake, pick up treats for the school party.

10. Cross stitch -- I am doing a Victorian cross stitch on linen that will, indeed, take me forever to finish.

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...
