I spent some time listening to lectures today. I listened to an introduction to Kierkegaard that I found interesting. His notion that ethics and religion do not go hand in hand, but are opposed to each other is a captivating idea. I also completed a documentary series on the early queens of England.

Friends, Depression, Minimalism
For the last several days I have been depressed. It has really been a struggle. Today though, I was invited by H and A from church to hang out at H's house.

I don't want to drive in a tropical storm. This isn't a hurricane like Ian (at least it won't be when … Continue reading Tropical Storm

Meet Aurora!
Today we adopted Aurora from a wonderfully kind, retired Navy lady. She took Aurora in and named her when her neighbor died and his kids threw his dog out on the street.
