it's (nearly) all relative

file 2/3rds of what follows under flagrant? nay unabashed family promotion:

Want to recommend a new (to me) blog - Hackman's Musings - i've spent the morning browsing it when i should have been writing a paper. Recommended, only in part, because it features an audio conversation (which i'm not even through yet - it's 2 hrs long) with David. And adding to the awesomeness, Brook's in the conversation too. And there's even some of Sarah's music thrown in to boot. the blog is reading really great and well worth checking out if you, like me, like your faith discussions full of questions, and prefer open wondering fidelity over having certainty.

also worth following is Elizabeth's blog - Catalogue of Potions. reflective writing that's as persistently lovely as she is.

also in family matters, for those having trouble downloading the last 8 or so episodes of The Lake Effect, Ewan is aware there's a problem with the files and will try to resolve it soon. he's very busy with parenting, partnering and job right now with little time to do much more than plan and record the shows for rte2xm. ewan says there will be some upgrading going on at their site too but he says he'll get his own online stuff sorted as soon as he can. here's looking forward to the resulting massive dose of good tunage catch up to come. if you haven't listened, the first 27 shows are available and there are scores of others who'll back up my testimony that he's sharing some of the best aural goodness you can find.

Shirley and fam are visiting us overnight. better squeeze in some school work before they arrive. looking forward to the chat.

peace be with you,
and be kind to the animals..
