So what was this post all about?

The Saint John's Bible is going to be one of the most spectacular artistic and spiritual works ever created when it is finished. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is showing the in-progress piece and had a special CSB|SJU Alumnae/i event on Thursday.

Lovely evening for a campfire, no?

I just had an amazing Memorial Day weekend traveling about the Great State of the North. Here it is, presented in convenient list form.

Hey, look! More green than red!

We've now seen 48 of the 63 games played already, and I haven't become completely worthless... yet. That said, how's the bracket?

At least my bracket isn&rsquo;t a <em>total</em> mess&mdash;yet.

When is surgery on a computer special? When the life story of that computer is so intermingled with that of its owner that they share memories of the grandest kind.

Berries bask in the sun

The site is up, and it is ready to go. Until it goes live, I am "practice-posting"…or something like that.
