The iPad has been tempting me to try buying eBooks to eRead in my copious sPare time. Last night I happened to catch an episode of the Canadian culture and current events show Q that included a very positive review of The Imperfectionists: A Novel by Tom Rachman. As a former English major, I’ve avoided reading serious novels for decades; I’ve read a couple of books in recent years that featured that cutesy scribbled-script kind of font with whimsical names like “The Lost Weekend of Cooking In Provence” or “The Lumpy Girl’s Guide To Off-Putting Personal Hygiene” and that was…

This article reminded me of the time Mom dickered with a car dealer on a price for a car, got a firm quote (after discussing loan terms more favorable to the dealership than herself) and then pulled a wad of cash out of her purse to pay for the car on the spot. She meant to pay cash all along, as it was from an insurance settlement — she just wanted to string the guy along and see how low he’d go. The suggestions in the article are pretty good; however what we’ve done with our vehicles is pay them…

Something else I believe as a liberal Episcopalian, put a little more aggressively: My God is the God of the poor. You can be for the poor or you can go to hell. pastordan is awesome, and I grew up in a Protestant mainline church distantly related to the UCC so I know where he’s coming from. H/T to ***Dave FTW. via Note to Religious Liberals: God Does Take Sides | Religion Dispatches.

One reason I don’t believe in “the Rapture” or “the Apocalypse” is the people who DO believe appear to me to be completely crazy and irrational… and their websites induce seizures. Funny how the dates they keep calculating (using special software, even) keep slipping too, kind of like the metaphysical side of scope creep. 25NOV10? No. 21DEC10? Maybe. 01FEB11? Rosh Hashanah, 2015? More time to convert unbelievers! I noted for David’s benefit the new Jewish holiday of “Yom Kipper,” The Feast of Smoked Fish. This must be why mom-in-law Leah has lox and bagels for family brunch? I’ve been reading…
