Our Petri-Dish


Ever since we moved in over a year ago, our walls have been growing mold. Over time, the mold has gotten so out of hand that it is almost comical (kind of like out of control lice can be comical). Finally, the owners of the apartment decided it might be time to rebuild and reinsulate all of the walls in our house. Their timing was most inopportune by my standards, but on the same token we felt anxious to have the mold taken care of. Can you imagine why?

So, we moved all of our belongings out into the stairwells and my front room turned into this:
We are almost finished moving back into our apartment. The mold is gone, the lice is gone- we hope.

Happy President's Day





















I admire President Abraham Lincoln. A few years ago I read the Lincoln biography: With Malice Toward None by Stephen B. Oats. The book was recommended to me by a good friend in Chicago who teaches high school history. I found the book very interesting and very insightful. My take home: Lincoln feared God more than man.
Lincoln is an inspiration to me. God Bless America.
