Good read

Wow - it's been a crazy couple of weeks! I need to make a little more time for blogging, or it will NEVER happen with the spring and summer I have ahead of me! :-)

My good read of the month is Sam Harris' "Letter to a Christian Nation." It's a short book, truly written as a letter, about how irrational thought - specifically, religion - puts modern civilization (democracy, civil rights, science) at danger. Well written, thought provoking - I highly recommend it to both the devout and those who are not.

(His website is at www.samharris.net, for the curious.)

Art!

One of the things we're doing in our new place is buying some art. (We decided it was past time to do so...)

Something that made it easier is the existance of a cool art store in our new neighborhood, featuring local artists. We've already bought one piece there (pictured below), and intend to go back soon. They're currently closed for renovations, but should be open again soon!

Happy New Year!!

Ok, so I'm a day late. Blame the New Year's Flu. :-) In any event, Happy New Year from our family to yours!
