First thing we do is kill all the dragons. Friday, February 18, 2011. The Plowmen by Robert Frost. A plow, they say, to plow the snow. They cannot mean to plant it, no-. Unless in bitterness to mock.

NECO DRACONES: December 2010

http://necodraconis.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

First thing we do is kill all the dragons. Saturday, December 25, 2010. This is why Christmas is so much more popular than Easter. It is easier to tame. In trying to tame it, however, we fail to make real sense of the reality of it. Ricky Bobby in Talledaga Nights merely channeled the zeitgeist when he said:. Look, I like the Christmas Jesus best, and I'm sayin' grace. When you say grace, you can say it to Grownup Jesus or Teenage Jesus or Bearded Jesus or whoever you want. It is normal for the Dad to ha...

NECO DRACONES: July 2011

http://necodraconis.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

First thing we do is kill all the dragons. Sunday, July 31, 2011. Parents are deep wells of wisdom. That fact seems to usually go unrecognized until the children themselves are in the parent stage. I have found that even though I certainly gave lip service to my mother's wisdom, as I move down the slippery slope - getting within spitting distance now of the AARP - I see it more clearly. Can we go to the beach next week? Her inevitable answer would be "We'll see.". Wisdom. I see it now. Links to this post.

NECO DRACONES: Not Like the Movies...

http://necodraconis.blogspot.com/2011/03/not-like-movies.html

First thing we do is kill all the dragons. Thursday, March 3, 2011. Not Like the Movies. That's what happens when you rant one too many times, I guess. It's just that it jars me out of my willing suspension of disbelief when the supposedly woodscrafty hero, a man wise and skilled in the ways of making his way through the wilderness can't even paddle a gosh darn canoe straight without switching sides every 3 strokes and getting water in the boat to boot. Drives me up a wall. What is Neco Draconis? Well, i...

NECO DRACONES: Triduum

http://necodraconis.blogspot.com/2011/04/triduum.html

First thing we do is kill all the dragons. Friday, April 22, 2011. And did my Savior bleed. And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head. For such a worm as I? Thy body slain, sweet Jesus, Thine—. And bathed in its own blood—. While the firm mark of wrath divine,. His Soul in anguish stood. Was it for crimes that I had done. He groaned upon the tree? And love beyond degree! Well might the sun in darkness hide. And shut his glories in,. When Christ, the mighty Maker died,. Byzantium by Steve...
