Milestone Screwups

Posted on Monday, May 1, 2006Friday, May 3, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

One of the things that Ausgustine did later in his life was to publish his Retractions, a book in which he went back and corrected earlier errors in his teaching. No getting the wrong idea here. As as a neighborhood toddler I am not worthy to come over and play in Augustine’s backyard . . …

Northern Runs

Posted on Wednesday, April 26, 2006Thursday, March 21, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

I enlisted in the Navy while I was still in high school, but didn’t have to go in until the fall after graduation. There was nothing thought-through in this choice of service. I had grown up in Annapolis, my father was an Annapolis grad, and the thought of doing something other than joining the Navy …

Got A Nail?

Posted on Wednesday, April 12, 2006Friday, November 5, 2021 by Douglas Wilson

Allow me to introduce my youngest grandson, Judah. Also let me share some nicknames that have been known to come his way: Judah the Hut, Yehuda Buddha, Barrel-rider, and the Hammer (also his favorite toy, and which he gets to play with infrequently, for obvious reasons). But this last nickname fits well with his Maccabean …

A New Member of Our Family

Posted on Friday, April 7, 2006Friday, March 29, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

About an hour or so after I posted the picture below, Evangeline’s mother gave birth to her sister, Daphne Ann Ruby. We give thanks to God; His mercies are innumerable.

Take That

Posted on Friday, April 7, 2006Friday, March 29, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

As the drumbeats of polemical warfare continue, and my adversaries grow ever more desperate, I have decided to pull the old “anybody with grandkids this cute can’t be all bad” ploy.

A Cute Descendant

Posted on Friday, February 17, 2006Thursday, February 7, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

Now that I know how to do this, you can expect to see pictures of my grandchildren from time to time. Just one of the costs of checking in on this blog. This is Evangeline.

Thirty Years of No Other Way to Go

Posted on Saturday, December 31, 2005Friday, December 7, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

Today is December 31, 2005, New Year’s Eve. It is also my thirtieth anniversary. Nancy and I were married New Year’s Eve, 1975. It took us a few years to figure out why the restaurants were always so crowded when we went out to celebrate. I met Nancy the year before we married, but I …

Philosophy and Me

Posted on Saturday, December 3, 2005Thursday, January 10, 2019 by Douglas Wilson

I think it was Paul Simon who said somewhere that his “life of education hasn’t hurt me none.” I can’t quite say the same thing, but at least I survived it. I grew up in a conservative evangelical home, a place where Christ was consistently honored and loved. But it being the late fifties and …

Some Thinking to Do

Posted on Tuesday, May 17, 2005Thursday, August 9, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

Before I graduated from Pioneer High School in Ann Arbor, I enlisted in the Navy on a delayed entry program. I had grown up in Annapolis and the idea of doing anything but joining the Navy had (I think) never occurred to me. So my parents moved from Ann Arbor to Moscow, Idaho, and I …

Killing Ants With a Baseball Bat

Posted on Saturday, May 7, 2005Friday, August 10, 2018 by Douglas Wilson

Some might be tempted to use the word over-reaction with regard to my interactions with Terry Morin in this space. And I agree that too much more of this would make that a warranted reaction. Now that the subject is thoroughly ventilated, there is no need to keep going over the same ground. Those who …
