About meJust a middle-aged linguist-theologian, poor mandolin playing, dog-running bibliophile, who wound up in computers and software. That's Moppet the English Setter captured in a silly, quiet moment wearing a birthday hat brought up from Florida friend's pup.

Currently Reading
My checkbook If I can find it. :(
Various exegetical & theological items re John, Paul, Confessional Issues in Presbyterian circles, etc.
Working on John and misc. theology/exegesis stuff; as always trying to balance my schedule of recreational reading (theology, exegesis, epic fantasy) and vocational reading (software, etc).

Recently Finished

About my libraryThe usual mix of college and grad school stuff(M.Div. Westminster Seminary, Philadelphia) - All of which are still my interests. Then all the other stuff, like lots of Tolkien. A fun observation: shortly after hitting the 1,000 mark, and having become more diligent about entering tags there was a numeric match for programming and New Testament, and an equal number for the C language and CVT = Cornelius Van Til, reformed theologian.

I've updated the information in the Green Dragon about the 2009 summer get-together (Mid-Atlantic). I hope you'll drop by the pub and leave feedback!

Apparently it's from Afterthoughts (1931) "Myself."

I found it on http://www.quotationspage.com/ .

I've started a group thats dedicated just to discussing HP and the Deathly Hallows. its called HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS ONLY. We could all post about the last book there so that is will be contained and we won;t have to worry as much aobut spoilers. Join when you finish the book.

Hi cad_lib! I actually didn't know about only having one day to pick up my copy of HP7. I was planning on getting it that afternoon, but that info has given me extra incentive. Thanks :)

SF/Mysteries are a very small genre, but I like Niven's contribution to it: strongly SFnal but true to their second genre, also. (I especially remember the scene where the protagonist is drinking in the bar decorated with 'impossible Martians'. Truely noir.)

:) A fellow language buff, glad to hear it.

> so would like to hear the name of your school.

/K. shakes her head mildly.
Really -- you've never heard of it.

> BTW: Articles on your blog are not displaying.

Not good ... my helper assures me this has been fixed. (Hm, looking at it now it seems to be legible...)

I liked the Gil Hamilton mysteries, glad to meet a fellow fan.

Thanks for the note. Yeah, the loss of the dream was way bigger. I didn't know I was unhappy with him until I had some distance and perspective. My parents were married for 70 years and I expected the same. But as you say, it is a thing of the past and the future holds more interesting things!

Hi cad_lib. Thanks for the info about fur babies - the term makes more sense now. I was thinking how strange it was to call a cat a fur baby.

Thank's for the head's up on Butcher's Furies, I'm glad to hear it is as good, although different, from Dresden. I'll try it myself when I can get hold of a copy.

So you have had intimate acquaintance with them! I only ran across Bahnsen's works about a year after his passing, but I have read all that I can on the web & gone through a number of his apologetics tapes from CMF.

I am not a Theonomist either, and since 1978 a Baptist rather than the Presbyterian of my youth. Even where I disagree with their theonomy, I enjoy reading Rushdoony. And I like Bahnsen because I think he best clarified the more obscure areas of VanTil.

The other Presbyterian author that I greatly enjoy reading is RL Dabney. In one of those "what ifs" it would be interesting to hear Dabney and VanTil discuss philosophy. They were both so Bible centric in their formulations but also in tune with the philosophical trends and reasonings of their day.

No, I have not seen the rating that you mentioned. Guess I'll have to read up on it!

Just read your entry in Carolina Gold. We have even more in common than our libraries reflect! I am currently in Information Security and have an AS400 back ground, starting out on S/34 programming in RPG!

I do have a couple of books related to CVT that I am surprised that you don't have. Greg Bahnsen seems to be the most coherent disciple of CVT and seemed to explain him the best, for my money.

Thank you for visiting Bob's MySpace Space. Do note that you can download all his music for free (or just bits of it, of course). Bob had a funny bit on his blog about how he's now getting 1,000 hits a day on his YouTube site, and comparing it to my dad's obsession with his family owning 1,000 acres of land. He's very pleased by all the feedback. Okay, not all of it.
Loved that Harry Potter in Homeric Greek! Actually, I have three pages to go. I'm afraid to finish because it means I'll have to start again. I'm sure the second time will be easier.
Like the dog. He has a festive spirit.
