The Surly Temple: Rebuilding The Temple
http://thesurlytemple.blogspot.com/2012/07/rebuilding-temple.html
Thursday, July 12, 2012. I mentioned a couple of months ago that I would have to put the blog on hold for a while, but I didn't think it would be this long. In late spring, we took on the challenge of moving into a house with one of our children and our three grandchildren. This meant buying one house, moving out of two, getting one ready for market and making the other habitable for our oldest son and his wife. I enjoy the reading and the discussions that go along with it, but I have to admit that readi...

Why I Didn't Make It To Easter Vigil. Powered by groups.yahoo.com. Let God Arise, Let His enemies be scattered! Sorry for the gap in the blogosphere. But I have come to a stark realization.

Fresno Bookies: A few more natural-law concepts
http://fresnobookies.blogspot.com/2009/06/few-more-natural-law-concepts.html
Fresno Bookies: A PhiloLit Blog. Wednesday, June 17, 2009. A few more natural-law concepts. None of the possible "purposes" of a dog listed by Simplicicus in his question about the arbitrariness of the concept of purpose, goal, end, or any other translation of the Greek. Oh, Dionysus, you party animal, you! Once again, I may not have been clear in discussing arbitrariness. (I may need the nine lives of a cat to reach clarity, while here we are stuck with dogs! On arbitrariness of purposes:. You could bet...

http://fresnobookies.blogspot.com/2009/06/quotations-in-metaphysics-im-starting.html
Fresno Bookies: A PhiloLit Blog. Tuesday, June 9, 2009. Quotations in the Metaphysics. I'm starting to read a chapter a day in St. Thomas' commentary on the Metaphysics. There are a lot of good quotes in there:. All men naturally desire to know.". Now in men experience comes from memory.". But we see that men of experience are more proficient than those who have theory without experience." (Too true! For it is because of wonder that men both now and formerly began to philosophize.". Duns Scotus, C. Not t...

The Surly Temple: Dietrich and Donna
http://thesurlytemple.blogspot.com/2012/05/dietrich-and-donna.html
Monday, May 21, 2012. The Queen of disco and the King of German lieder both died this week. Although I am neither a fan of disco or lieder, I have long had Pandora Channels named for both Donna Summers and Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau. I dipped heavily into both Pandora channels over the weekend as I reflected on the passing of both of these great (in very different ways) singers. Listening to the Donna Summers channel, I heard some of her hits like Last Dance. And She Works Hard For the Money. Dietrich Fisc...

The Surly Temple: July 2012
http://thesurlytemple.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 23, 2012. You Can't Fight City Hall (If they won't fight back). The rainy season was coming to an end when escrow closed on our house. The irrigation system was turned off and it took me a couple of weeks to get around to setting the timer up and get the sprinklers working. For weeks, I stewed about it, but procrastinated. Rather than deal with the problem, I wandered into the front yard every morning to hand water all the dry spots that resulted from the leak. Things came to a head a week o...

http://thesurlytemple.blogspot.com/2012/08/hey-if-youre-going-to-fabricate-dylan.html
Sunday, August 5, 2012. Hey, If You're Going to Fabricate Dylan Quotes. Warning: This photo is not my intellectual property. Jonah Lehrer's book Imagine: How Creativity Works. Contained a number of fabricated and compiled quotes that he attributed to Bob Dylan. A journalistic crime to be sure, but it was also a shame that the quotes offered no new insights into Bob Dylan's thought processes. Here are some quotes that offer a glimpse into the real world of Bob Dylan. And, yes I made them up. Yes, there's ...
