Drove the HS basketball teams to their games. Sitting in the gym of a Christian school and they are playing "Just Another Brick in the Wall" over the sound system. Is this irony?

When the Super Bowl announcers talk about Will Campbell I think, "Brother to A Dragonfly."

I drove the MS boys to their games tonight. When I played in 7th, or maybe 8th grade the coach was a Bobby Knight disciple. All I really remember from that miserable season is getting yelled at. Both coaches tonight are offering lots of encouragement along with some instructions.

Who's missing from this game called "Guess Who?" I think this edition is from the mid-1980's.

Yes, but unfortunately libraries in small Iowa towns are facing budget cuts. I'm part of a group starting a friends group of the Wellman Library so the library can maintain it's current budget and staffing.

Which ennegram type goes to Barnes&Nobles and buys all books on the ennegram? All of them, not a one left in stock.

In rural Iowa you're lucky to find one doctor so there isn't any way to compare

I ordered coffee. She asked if I wanted room for cream. I said, "no, just black." "As black as your soul," she replied. I laughed, she apologized and made a fresh pot for me.

The empire is subverting the message of Jesus, turning American Christianity to the dark side.

My 90 year old Mom needed a new pair of shoes. The ones that fit and met her approval cost $150 Since they were made in Vietnam we figured the 20% tariff added $25 to the cost of her shoes. #trumpstariff #tax

After driving across the western US and scanning the radio dials I realized K-Love likely reaches more people than NPR. It was good to get back to Iowa to hear Iowa Public Radio.

We just spent a week in Portland. It's one of the nicest cities I've spent time in. Felt safe when we were downtown, folks were helpful with my wife who uses a walker. This Iowa guy was impressed.

This is the kind of rule that made it feel like I was destroying evidence when I recycled my old lesson plan books.
