cymbaljack: August 2005
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Saturday, August 27, 2005. The greatest free entertainment in the world is live sports, if you know how to watch. The trick is to mute your TV and turn on the closed captioning. This lets you read what's being said- only because it's live, the transcription is often a little off. Last night during the Vikings preseason game, we got the highlight of my week. According to the closed captions, this is what was said:. That is, indeed, a very. Very muggy, ditto.

cymbaljack: May 2005
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Thursday, May 26, 2005. Posted by Carl @ 3:55 AM 1 comments. Sunday, May 22, 2005. Well, I definitely miss teaching. I find myself thinking about scenarios where I can do the kinds of things I do when I teach. I'm wishing there was someone who wanted to ask me questions. This is very good news, considering that when I left I wasn't sure that by the end of sabbatical I'd be even willing to go back, let alone looking forward to the good parts of it. Still, de...

cymbaljack: December 2005
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Monday, December 19, 2005. When I am, finally and inevitably, swept into power as emperor of this dreary world, among my mandates shall be these:. Musac will be banned for any kind of "broadcast." Stores that want to provide a musac experience, and especially one involving Christmas songs, will have to offer headsets for those patrons who actually. To hear the stuff. (These patrons will be noted and watched for other signs of mental illness.). And I would n...

cymbaljack: September 2005
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2005_09_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Thursday, September 29, 2005. Well it's almost time. The nutcases (and those with no work or school on Friday) will be at midnight shows. And if you don't already have plans for the weekend, you too should go see. Seven or eight times to drive up the initial box-office receipts and make sure Whedon has the cash and popularity to get. All of that said, I'm not going until next weekend, so I don't want to hear anything about it. Guess what I did this weekend?

cymbaljack: November 2005
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Monday, November 21, 2005. Well, I'm certainly glad the big scare is over. I was very worried. The scare in question was that it appeared, for a time, that Americans might actually be thinking that happiness and significance could be found somewhere. Other than material possessions. I know: it's scary thinking, definitely heresy or treason or something. But the evidence was unmistakable. Even MasterCard, yes. To the person in the giant Lexus SUV that briefl...

cymbaljack: January 2006
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Wednesday, January 11, 2006. Things I Can't Explain. Why there is no upper limit to the number of cop, lawyer, and cop/lawyer shows that can be on TV at one time. Why my 7:45 am class filled faster than a different section of the same class that starts at 10:00. Why anyone would bother to play Quidditch if they weren't going to be a Seeker, since 95% of the time "Which Seeker won? And "Which team won? Come down to the same thing. Why Jill loves me.

cymbaljack: from John 3
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2011/05/from-john-3.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Monday, May 23, 2011. The footnotes in my ESV Bible tell me that the "same Greek word means both wind. And that the word commonly rendered "again" can also mean "from above." So here's a slightly different translation of the first part of John chapter 3:. Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? Posted by Carl @ 6:18 AM. You write beautifully. You should do so more often.

cymbaljack: Time Keeps on Slippin', Slippin', Slippin'
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2009/11/time-keeps-on-slippin-slippin-slippin.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Wednesday, November 04, 2009. Time Keeps on Slippin', Slippin', Slippin'. My sermon got pushed back to the 15th, which is definitely a good thing. Seems like I have a lot to catch up on at present. It's partially just a busy time of the semester, but also I've been trying to be a little more engaged this semester- which means more conversations with folks, more emails, more things I've agreed to be involved in. Posted by Carl @ 6:39 PM.

cymbaljack: July 2005
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Sunday, July 31, 2005. I'm a bit overdue for a post here, so this will be a collection of odds and ends to get back on track. First, if anyone ever tries to tell you that there's lots to do in International Falls, MN, they are lying. Perhaps if you have a boat or like to fish, there's enough to do. Otherwise, plan to drop by on your way through to somewhere else. Fortunately, a summer trip to Duluth is always a good idea. War of the Worlds. I'm sick of athl...

cymbaljack: Purple Tears
http://cymbaljack.blogspot.com/2010/01/purple-tears.html
Any old thing that enters my head, pretty much. Monday, January 25, 2010. Living where I do, I have many friends and acquaintances who are Vikings fans of one degree or another. To all of them, I offer my sincere sympathy for a tough, tough loss in a huge game. And if any of you are hounding number 4 for that last pick, stop for at least a minute and ask how your team managed to get 12 men in the huddle on the play before. Without that 5-yard penalty, maybe they don't pass, or maybe he's more willing...
