Monthly Archives: June 2011. June 8, 2011. Eccentric co-workers–we all have them. But at my current job, I may have hit the jackpot. Here’s three of my co-workers, (all nicknamed for their quirks) who tip the scale for absurdity in the workplace. 1 First, there’s Ladies Man. L Man’s workday on a pie chart would look something like this:. 75% Smooth talking the college girls volunteering for the day at the children’s hospital. 10% Exchanging parking passes for Starbucks drinks. With the ladies. 3 Vin D lo...

Maybe yes, maybe not. / I tell them life is what we make of it. / So beautiful or so what? And where will I make my bed tonight? Is valuable in its own right as the record of a lifetime of accumulated wisdom, and of a musician who has completely mastered his craft. It’s easily one of the year’s best albums.

Monthly Archives: October 2011. A Letter from the Future. October 8, 2011. As a teen, I wanted answers. Answers to questions like, “Do I have a chance with that girl? 8221; The answer was no. She was was two years older and plain not interested. But she was still nice, and I enjoyed our e-mail correspondence. I also wanted answers to more serious questions like, “Will I ever beat Mono? Dear Thirteen-year-old Gabe,. 8220;I’m tired of raising my hand for healing”. 8220;Nothing ever happens.”. However, sinc...

Monthly Archives: January 2011. Winston is the New Bill. January 19, 2011. I work with a Jamaican named Winston. He’s like Bill from my Boys and Girls Club days, except, well, Jamaican. Bill was a black man in his 50’s from North Carolina. One of the funniest people I’ve ever met. Once a sick, mangy dog limped over to the fence outside the BGC playground. Seeing the mutt in distress, Bill announced to the group of first graders crowding around it, “I’m going to blast that dog! Oh, Bill, would you really?

Review of Paul Simon’s “So Beautiful or So What? He Knows My Way →. Characters of the Imagination. January 1, 2012. Since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to put to words what animals feel and think, based on their facial expressions and erratic behavior. So take this as my attempt to give these animals a voice. Allow me to introduce:. Hi, I’m Fox! 8221; he announces. Nice to meet –. 8220;I’ve got a bushy tail, and you can trust me! 8221; interrupts Fox. Wait, what do those two things even have in common?

Monthly Archives: September 2010. Events in Dad’s journey: from life support to hospital release. September 2, 2010. On July 4th, Dad collapsed on the bathroom floor of a pastor’s home in Alberta, Canada. As they lay him on a stretcher, he grabbed his neck in agony (indicating a ruptured artery) and his eyes rolled back as he fell unconscious. Horrified, Mom thought, “Oh God, is he going to die?

Miracles According to Jack | Paws and Eggs
https://gabrieladams.wordpress.com/2011/12/07/miracles-according-to-jack
A Letter from the Future. Review of Eisley’s “The Valley” →. Miracles According to Jack. At my previous job, I worked with a JW (I shall call him Jack) who didn’t believe in miracles. I felt great compassion for him. Jack always looked lonely. When he spoke of his life, he had a disappointed tone; he wanted to be so much more–a musician, a husband, a success. After all, who dreams of valeting cars in your latter years? I’d prefer to be an atheist. Jack didn’t believe in miracles. But I witness ...It̵...

He Knows My Way | Paws and Eggs

Characters of the Imagination. He Knows My Way. March 24, 2012. It’s been extremely hard to put roots down. Since moving to Portland in 2006, I’ve been planning my departure. At the two year mark at PBC, I was so restless that I nearly quit. I was dying to be released from the yoke of being somewhere I didn’t want to be. Despite my determination to leave school, I stuck it out and graduated from PBC in 2010, only to counter more restlessness. I was sure that when I finally heard God’s voice there&#...
