Access problems

I haven't posted anything here in almost a month, not because I'm avoiding the blog, but because I CAN'T ACCESS THE THNG! Something's going on with the home computer.
That was a terrible update. I'll write about the toads trilling on Good Friday evening, on the croaking sandhill cranes at our new little piece of good, gifted earth in Lima Township, about my slow, but steady, crawl to Constantinople, about the Festival of Faith and Writing from whence I type, about my children growing, my marriage strengthening, my upcoming 41st year, anything but a lame, flat, update about computer problems.
Life is good, but computers suck.

Good reads of 2009

I haven't made a list like this in a while, and I believe I discussed most of these on the blog as I finished them, but I thought I'd make a handy short-hand list for you and me. These are only in the order I read them and do not indicate any preference. The Open Door * Frederica Mathewes-Green The Children of Hurin * J.R.R. Tolkien The Omnivore's Dilemma * Michael Pollan Agrarianism and the Good Society: Land, Culture, Conflict, and Hope * Eric T. Freyfogle Wonderful Fool * Shusaku Endo Up the Rouge: Paddling Detroit's Hidden River * Joel Thurtell and Patricia Beck Johnny Cash and the Great American Contradiction: Christianity and the Battle for the Soul of a Nation * Rodney Clapp (I started the following in December, but I haven't finished them--so far they are excellent: Love and Hate in Jamestown * David A. Price and The Picture of Dorian Gray * Oscar Wilde) Try one of these--let me know.

Rhonwyn's Closet

Given that I'll probably not be published anytime soon and that I'm going to read this in my daughter's class tomorrow--I'm publishing this here and now.  Critiques are most welcome. Rhonwyn’s Closet             Can you keep a secret?   You’ve got to promise not to tell anyone.   OK, here, look in my closet.   Creepy, huh?   Well, it all started when…             “Rhonwyn, have you cleaned up after Jasper yet?” my mommy asked me.             “Of course, Mommy.”             “Really?”   Her left eyebrow always looked bent like a caterpillar when she didn’t believe me.             “Yes, the yard doesn’t even look like a dog lives there.   Except for the dog house with the red roof.”             “All right,” she smiled, “Go on and play.”             I ran up to my bedroom.   The truth was I hadn’t picked up after Jasper.   I didn’t want to do it then, I’d do it later.             So I opened my closet and reached up to get a game off of the top shelf when something
