It Must be Fall
Perhaps it's just because it's autumn and the weather is changing and the activity of summer which included several trips is past, but I haven't really felt like blogging in a while. Life has returned to the ordinary, it's been busy at work and we've hired an assistant for me.
This last weekend, Carolyn and I took in a play at SCR (Born Yesterday) which is a 40's era play that was funny and which still retains its political relevancy. We then dropped in at Jerry's Famous Deli by South Coast for an after theater dessert which was large enough in my case to save half for last night (a huge piece of chocolate fudge cake)!
Otherwise, I've been watching the baseball playoffs (sorry Angels) and now the World Series as well as a sampling of college and pro football. As far as sports go, this is my favorite season.
The weather the last two weekends has been somewhat gloomy and drizzly (by SoCal standards) and we haven't ventured out on the boat, in part, because of the weather and because of some overheating issues with the engine. I'll have to purpose to make it to the boat or to do more outdoor activities.

Makes Me Think
Those of you who've read my blog for awhile should be aware that occasionally I like to randomly check out other blogs. A very few make it to my favorites list.
One which I've been reading for a few months is Waiterrant where a New York waiter often talks about the indignities of dealing with the inconsiderate and the miserly. Today, he posted an interesting dialogue of a discussion he had with a fellow server about the Biblical story of Jesus casting the demons into the pig. I thought his view of God was insightful and challenging. What do you scholars think?
The second blog I stumbled across was referenced in another blog. A personal story of the destruction that ravaged the south with Katrina with some amazing photos and heartfelt stories. Tragedies are often quickly forgotten except for those immediately involved. Take a look.
