Writing Out Loud: How Come?
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2005/09/how_come.html
September 08, 2005. The depth of the gulf coast disaster is becoming more apparent as more of the victims voices are being heard. The aerial coverage is giving way to ground reports, triage areas and refugee camps are being infiltrated by reporters. Sickening first-hand accounts of neglect, filth, rape, and death are coming out, and it is difficult to believe that this could be happening in the U.S. the beacon of hope, the light to the rest of the world. People on the street now / Faces long and grim.

May 28, 2005. Whatever Happened to Great Radio? Radio is a wasteland these days. I remember my sadness when I heard that the last holdout of freeform radio in the Chicago area WCBR was folding. Back then, I had a 45 minute commute to work, and the morning show on WCBR, hosted by DJ Tommy Lee, was some of the best radio I’d ever heard. I was constantly exposed to music I didn’t know existed, as this station seemed to casually champion many little-known artists. Dedicated to music,. Radio stations do not t...

Writing Out Loud: Schmokin'
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2006/05/schmokin.html
May 20, 2006. I bought a pipe. No, not a bowl. I threw out those things a few years ago. Made me do it. But he DID facilitate the purchase, accompanying me to the pipe shop and pointing out the different styles, materials, features, and considerations. It’s a rather handsome piece of work I speak now of the pipe, not my pastor (but he’s not so bad, I guess) and I’ve packed it a couple times now, for evening smokes on the patio. Pipes are rather conspicuous. You can’t light one up without being noticed.

Writing Out Loud: Love Your Enemies and Pray for Those Who Persecute You
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2005/07/love_your_enemi.html
Laquo; There Goes the Month. July 07, 2005. Love Your Enemies and Pray for Those Who Persecute You. I was shocked to hear the report of the London transit bombings as I drove to work this morning. From the safety of my car, I listened to the sketchy details the press had to offer as I drove thru suburbia to my office. As the radio news played sound clip after sound clip of eyewitness testimony, I was struck by the tone of those who spoke into the reporters’ microphones. I heard strength and resolve.

Writing Out Loud: >Gulp!
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2006/07/gulp_conspiracy.html
July 22, 2006. I wanna know what’s going on with the beverage/food service industry these days. Just the other day I ate lunch at Wendy’s. The counter attendant took my order a cheeseburger, fries, medium coke and gathered all the food on a tray for me. Then she grabbed the drink, a 32-oz soda. I looked at the girl and asked, is this a medium drink? Ya had to hold the thing with two hands! Back then, 20 ounces was a BIG drink. Back to 7-11, I’m equally as fuzzy on the timing of the debut of the SuperBigG...

Writing Out Loud: Spared for what?
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2005/12/spared_for_what.html
Laquo; How Come? December 10, 2005. Boy howdy, time sure does slip by, I tell ya. It’s amazing that you even stop by here to see if I’ve written anything anymore. I don’t blame those who’ve thrown up their hands in frustration and figured they may as well stop checking this blog. Well, what can I say? I’ve just been coasting along, and days turn into weeks, which turn into months, and here it is almost Christmas when last time I remember looking up, I was answering the door for some trick-or-treaters.

Writing Out Loud: There Goes the Month
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2005/06/there_goes_the_.html
Laquo; Whatever Happened to Great Radio? Love Your Enemies and Pray for Those Who Persecute You ». June 30, 2005. There Goes the Month. What the - -? I woke up today and it's the very end of June. And I looked at my blog tonight and I haven't posted in over 30 days. And I peeked into my brain and realized that I have nothing to say. Or I should say, I have nothing pressing to say. So I'll say this: I love my son. Isaac's 4 months old and he's just the bees knees, y'know? June 30, 2005 at 11:03 PM.

Writing Out Loud: What the???
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2005/08/what_the.html
Laquo; Love Your Enemies and Pray for Those Who Persecute You. August 27, 2005. Oh man, oh man. Look at the blog, collecting dust, becoming a home to spiders and little roly-poly bugs. Look in that corner.is that a half-eaten turkey and pickle sandwich from a gas station vending machine practically ready to crumble? And look at the cobwebs all over the lampshades. Yecky-yecky. I got millions. Reasons? So, hello to my pal, the Weary Crusader. August 27, 2005 at 04:49 PM. Posted by: Joe Thorn. Thanks for t...

Writing Out Loud: Connecting
http://cwrambles.blogs.com/writing_out_loud/2006/05/connecting.html
May 22, 2006. I’m a pretty reclusive guy. Now, ask my good friends or co-workers if I’m quiet and they’ll laugh. I reach my comfort zone with people and they can’t shut me up. But when it comes to reaching out to people, meeting people, I’m very reserved, maybe even shy. But things are changing. My wife and I have been living in our neighborhood a good 3 years now, and I am just starting to get to know my neighbors. It finally started bothering me that I didn’t know these people. Being a father has made ...
