Last Sunday while I was at a graduation party, I spent some time talking to one of Georgette’s cousins, Tim Siedlecki. Tim is in his mid 30’s. About 13 years ago, he moved from Peoria to St. Louis after accepting a job at the Boeing Corporation. Shortly after he moved, Tim bought a house in a residential area near the St. Louis airport.

One of the first things I asked Tim was whether the tornado that [...] Read More »

Cafeteria Catholics

Have you ever heard of a “Cafeteria Catholic”? The term was popularized a few years ago when Maria Shriver declared that she is a “Cafeteria Catholic.” Shriver is the wife of former bodybuilder, actor, and governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Last week she was publicly humiliated when her husband admitted that he fathered an illegitimate child over 13 years ago. The mother of the child is their former housekeeper. The housekeeper only recently gave up [...] Read More »

The Illumination of a Soul

Have you ever heard of the practice of using canaries in coal mines to alert coal miners of danger? Canaries are small songbirds that were first bred and used as domestic pets in the 17th century. Because they are more sensitive than humans to toxic gases (such as methane and carbon monoxide), canaries were, at one time, routinely used by coal miners as early warning devices that danger was imminent.

By placing caged canaries in various [...] Read More »

The Construction of A Kingdom

When I was growing up, I loved building things. My dad bought me my first tool set when I was 7 years old. It consisted of genuine child-sized tools, and included a real hammer, hand saw, pliers, screwdrivers, measuring tape, and a “carpenter’s pencil.” My earliest childhood memories include many instances when I helped my dad or grandfather with building projects.

Not very many people know this, but when I was a senior in high school [...] Read More »

A Very Important Person

I’ve been paying some attention to what’s been going on in the Rod Blagojevich trial in Chicago. There really haven’t been any big surprises, except for the testimony from a government analyst who provided detailed evidence of the clothing purchases of Blagojevich and his wife during the time he was the governor of Illinois.

Apparently, over a period of six years, Blagojevich and his wife purchased over $400,000 in clothing – just for themselves! Despite the [...] Read More »

Avatar & the Garden of Paradise

Harry — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:08:40 +0000

On New Year’s day (in the evening), my wife and I went to the theatre and saw the movie Avatar. I wanted to see it after observing its meteoric rise in popularity (and sales), not only in the United States, but all over the world.

According to news reports, Avatar generated over a billion dollars in revenue during the first 17 days after its release, with ticket sales in the United States and Canada totaling $352.1 [...] Read More »
