Skip to content ↓. More than twitter could handle…. Gun Control / Freedom. The Journal News: Turnabout is Fair Play. On Dec.26, 2012, under Gun Control / Freedom. It is also curious to think a paper would do this, something that is done to CONVICTED CRIMINALS in particular those guilty of sex crimes. So tell me, what crime is it to have a legal gun permit? What is the only reason for them to publish this? TwitMediaCritic's blog is a place where all media from billboards to feature films are critiqued, as...

Thinking Out Loud: The Old Dairy Diner
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2009/01/old-dairy-diner.html
Wednesday, January 21, 2009. The Old Dairy Diner. I walked into the flower shop in my hometown this week and stopped just inside the entry. For a moment, time flashed back 30 years. In my mind's eye, I saw the place when it had housed the old Dairy diner. I saw the lunch counter before me, lined with familiar faces that I had watched eat lunch and dinner hundreds of times.

Thinking Out Loud: NewYear's Letter To Friends
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2010/12/newyears-letter-to-friends.html
Thursday, December 30, 2010. NewYear's Letter To Friends. New Year's Eve Letter To Friends. Every year the odds are stacked against it. Turning out the way you’d like:. A year of smooth, a year of easy smile,. A year like a lake you could float on,. Looking up at a blue year of soothing sky. Mostly the letters you’re expecting never come. Lovers walk out and keep on going. And in no time they’re no friend of yours. Mostly, the sheer weight of days. Gone awfully wrong: a tire blown out,. A new year. Y...

Thinking Out Loud: June 2008
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. As a kid I was an odd duck. I spent my days listening to family stories in my grandmother’s beauty shop, or traveling around. With my grandfather checking on the houses he was building. Occasionally, I could be found hanging at. With my young mom and her scruffy crew of friends whom my grandparents suspiciously called “hippies”. I knew how to wrap a perm, carried a carpenter’s pencil in my pocket, and could easily discuss the various merits of Cat Steven’s latest song. 8221; she s...

Thinking Out Loud
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2013/12/back-in-2003-i-offered-humorous-glimpse.html
Saturday, December 7, 2013. Back in 2003, I offered a humorous glimpse into my life with my three sons then aged 10, 9, and 8. It was our own Schweddy Ball kind of Christmas tale. Here is the original, with a decade later update:. I was pondering the idea of hardwiring today and considering that while some mothers' experience sons like Thoreau who, while tiny, lisped sweetly, "I am trying to look through the stars to see if I can see God behind them.". I have sons who say things like yesterday's gem:.

Thinking Out Loud: Winter Stars
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2011/01/winter-stars.html
Thursday, January 13, 2011. My father once broke a man’s hand. Over the exhaust pipe of a John Deere tractor. The man,. Ruben Vasquez, wanted to kill his own father. With a sharpened fruit knife, and he held. The curved tip of it, lightly, between his first. Two fingers, so it could slash. Horizontally, and with surprising grace,. Across a throat. It was like a glinting beak in a hand,. And, for a moment, the light held still. On those vines. When it was over,. Lay alone in the dark, listening to music.

Thinking Out Loud: How to See Deer
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-see-deer_25.html
Monday, April 25, 2011. How to See Deer. How to See Deer. Go nowhere with guns. Go elsewhere your own way,. Lonely and wanting. Or. Stay and be early:. Next to deep woods. Sunrise is good,. And fog before sun. Expect nothing always;. Find your luck slowly. Wait out the windfall. Take your good time. To learn to read ferns;. Make like a turtle:. Downhill toward slow water. Instructed by heron,. Drink the pure silence. Be compassed by wind. If you quiver like aspen. Trust your quick nature:. Real person ra...

Thinking Out Loud: July 2008
http://christina-thinkingoutloud.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. I like to live on the edges, where my vantage point can look inward toward community or outward unencumbered. I live on the far corner of town, with views of both farm and field. I am lucky to be within sight of a bike path; a walk with a prairie view. When I taught young children, we often took walks together. Children have not yet learned indifference to nature and their fresh perspective, without fail, reawakened some forgotten wonder in me. We set out one Saturday morning and w...
