Bertie Wooster Costume (with a cowboy)

What's the deal?  Sunday night nobody, I mean nobody, knew who Bertie Wooster was.   That's me on the right, dressed up as Bertie.  I am even wearing his "Prize for Scripture Knowledge", his only claim to fame.  To learn more about this important figure in literature, please read, My Man Jeeves by P.G. Wodehouse.

Outside the School Window

This moment was worth putting down the books to capture --- a red-tailed hawk.

"Social Morality"

My sister made this Christmas ornament for us.  She gives us one every year.


"I may repeat 'Do as you would be done by' till I am black in the face, but I cannot really carry it out till I love my neighbor as myself: and I cannot learn to love my neighbor as myself till I learn to love God:  and I cannot learn to love God except by learning to obey Him.  And so, as I warned you, you are driven on to something more inward --- driven on from social matters to religious matters.  For the longest way around is the shortest way home."  

Mere Christianity, C.S. Lewis
