Quarter past 12

The murmur of the trees mention rain. In the dark, the paved lanes glisten lines of light in rippling pools. From far, a cricketing, then gone to calm murmur. Small orange suns cast cones of dappled gloom on shining metal steeds. A light of distant dull gray drapes its arms atop the trees. In staggered [ READ MORE ]

Day after day after day

Friday we had our latest graduation. Forty six new journalists were fired off to the field and fleet, ready to start their careers. Apart from the royal FUBAR of the actual ceremony, on which I’ve been forbidden to blog, afterward there was enough small talk and well-wishes to make the remainder of the day as [ READ MORE ]

Crazy ideas

I may have talked about this before. After two-plus years of blogging, many perspectives change, but a few stay the same. I remember realizing his particular number back in college—now some six years ago. Wow. Long time. Anyway. Do you ever get the feeling like you’re nuts? I mean, like your ideas are just way [ READ MORE ]

Life’s in the betweens

Controversial, I know, but I usually put schoolwork second while I was in college. Uber peep Seth and I had traditions. We’d often head out in the evenings to a convenience store (not necessarily convenient as it was a bit far, as I recall) to get a Jones soda. Jones makes those quirky-flavored sodas with [ READ MORE ]

May

There it is. May. Last post…February. Wow, how about that? WordPress has grown more svelte. Nice little buttons and do-hickeys on everything. Looks like they’re continuing to expand their features, which is awesome, considering it’s all free. A lot of things have been going on in and around Josh Salmons. I won’t get in to [ READ MORE ]

Substance

Do you know what heat is? Heat is energy. It travels in waves like other forms of energy. It transforms matter it touches–either by causing atoms to vibrate (heating it up) or by causing a chemical reaction that causes burning. Heat, simply perceived, is the vibration of atoms. Absolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin) is the [ READ MORE ]

Peru: The Trek pt. 3

With the workers and corn fields behind us, we turned left on a path that angled us into some woods. The day wasn’t hot, but the shade was refreshing. Tall, thin trees shot up from the valley below, passed us and stretched high above our heads. The path began to climb, and we started to [ READ MORE ]

Holy crap!

There are two Bible studies that are held each week at the Defense Information School. The Tuesday session, if you remember, is dedicated to showing Noomas every week. Thursdays are the more-typical study of a passage of Scripture. I’ve been going to the Tuesday meetings off and on, and not so much to the Thursday [ READ MORE ]

Peru pics and a bummer weekend

If you hadn’t noticed from the Flickr widget on the bottom right, I put up some pictures of our Peru trip. Feel free to check out the set [here]. That particular group of photos are a sort of combination of Sarah, Adrian and my shots. We pooled all of our photos when we got back [ READ MORE ]

Peru: The Trek pt. 2

We arrived at a small town, which sat on some higher ground in the valley we’d traverse later that day. I don’t remember the town’s name—and probably never will, since I nearly got lost on the return leg and actually could have used that bit of information. And now, just like when you learn someone’s [ READ MORE ]
