Toadfish Monastery

WOOT Griffin! Way to go!

 Oh thank you thank you

I mean

NO I AM NOT A YEAR OLDER!! ARGH, but like wine I get better with time

The journey to quitting smoking is not an easy one. Love you and wish you all success with it.

YOU CAN DO IT!

Bravo sibling Bravo!

What usually shuts them up for me is the

"You do know that everything was borrowed from the pagans? No? Really, look it up on the internet. Not the Answers in Genesis part of it but the other part of the internet. And also you are aware that X is the Greek letter Chi (and make sure I pronounce it properly-or they will think I am talking about that amazingly expensive hair iron), and so really it is not taking christ out of anything it is very likely  just sort of a shortcut thingie that some newspaper did once upon a time and you can look that up also and you also know that alpha and omega and all that are Greek as well."

By then their eyes are glazed and I can mosey along happily.

Smartest beings on the planet--
Orangutans
so patient and they just watch and ponder and learn and then
Ka-Blam someone is out and on the loose.


Of course what is intelligence anyway, like someone said/asked?

This is usually the point in class where we begin to learn that smart and intelligent are not the same and that we are not learning bottom up evolution(because that isn't really correct) and then the little twinkles in the eyes of some of the sharper students begin to fire.

I think so may birds pick up on the wee details and this is what makes them appear to be so clever-- they are into the details and often by seeing details (short vs long stick) is what makes a being just wayyyyyyy like smart ya know man.

It's nice to be finished with it isn't it by brother.


And No I will not be excavating the bog at this stage-- but thanks anyway.

Peek a boo I see you

Belated love to you all!

Nice looking tree bog you got yourselves there--- of course my interest is purely from the anthropologist view point and in about 100 years I hope someone excavates it to see what it contains (items thrown in it not ya know as that will be gone).

Nice shed as well-- good job!

I had a lovely bowl of leftover beans that my daughter made in the slow cooker--- they are great the next day and the next, with a bit of hot sauce and iced tea.

Dee-Dee me love---- I am sure that over on the other side you are using that smiting stick to battle the good battle! Onward always our love!
Happy Birthday

And Aphos--- 
Happy Birthday!

It's that time of year-- well I do it all year 

I really don't want snow this winter--- especially not ice- I hate being stuck at work or worse the fire station; trying to sleep there is just nuts-way to busy 24/7.

Leaves are starting to really turn here they are lovely-- I was afraid that due to the heat this summer that many would just dump them and store that lovely glucose but it seems that many had a good recovery and are changing slowly.

 
usually I get 3 to 5 pages since I am so AWOL all the time

I have to do some speed reading to catch up--- but I have not noticed any lack in content
