Sorry for this: somehow the Weekly Meanderings were published \u201cprivate\u201d mode instead of public mode. So, here they are:
\nChicago\u2019s finest is caring for some new penguin chicks<\/a>:
\n $\"penguin.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\nThe penguins<\/a>.
\nDoes anyone out in Oregon know if those two climbers of Mount Hood (Brian Hall and Jerry Cooke) have been recovered? (Kelly James\u2019 body was found in December.)
\n Tony Jones\u2019 paper<\/a> at the Wheaton conference was not chosen for inclusion in the published volume, so Tony made it available on his blog \u2014 as of now over 500<\/strike>614 downloads. Like it or not, in ten years everyone who recalls that conference will remember Tony\u2019s use of an umpire calling strikes as an analogy to the words that are expressions of orthodoxy. They told Tony he\u2019d not be able to call balls and strikes this game. Maybe this is Tony\u2019s sport, but who\u2019s on the right and who\u2019s on the left?
\n $\"fencers.jpg\"$ <\/a>
\n Techno-dictions? Some prescribe techno-fasts, but I quibble with such a use of the word \u201cfast.\u201d
\n<\/a>Little Rock 50 years later<\/a>. Our daughter had the Rockwell picture of the little girl in her bedroom for years.
\n1. Great story about Cliff Floyd\u2019s father<\/a>.
\n2. What would most American professional athletes do<\/a>?
\n3. A new kind of historian<\/a>? Let us hope.
\n4. Twice Kris and I were in the Santa Cruz area for several days, and each time we took our daily walk on the Santa Cruz boardwalk<\/a> \u2014 and a real nice breakfast place on that corner.
\n5. Nanny Poe<\/a>.
\n6. She adds<\/a>, \u201cIt\u2019s the mind-set of society we need to change \u2014 not the women.\u201d
\n7. Book to the Future<\/a>: the future of books. (HT: Ed Brenegar)
\n8.Pot or pill<\/a>?
\n9. No way, #7\u2019s got to be the Mick<\/a>.
\nSports:
\nWe\u2019re sliding into a part of the season where it looks like the Cubs just might do it. I predicted at the beginning of the year that the Cubs could get to the Big Dance in October, but I much less sanguine now than I was then. They don\u2019t have the pitching, so it seems to me \u2014 but neither did the Cards last year.
\nWe\u2019re sliding into All-Star Week, a baseball game that becomes increasingly uninteresting to me. The Home Run Derby interests me as much as a toothache.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
