Shorts on Feb 1
- Why is February spelled so oddly? We don’t pronounce it FEB-RUE-AIRY.
- I finished Believers: A Journey in Evangelical America this week. And started Robert Chapman: A Biography.
- Emma and I lay in bed one morning this weekend debating who would be the best actors in a film version of On the Edge of the Dark Sea of Darkness. She wouldn’t agree that Gary Oldman (think Sirius Black) should play Peet the Sock Man. Or that Emma Thompson should be Nia, the mother. That’s the kind of thing we do and one reason I love life with her.
- Ellie thinks I’m a superstar. She loves it when I’m around, and that can make mom jealous. But she loves her mom too.
- One day we will get a minivan. Emma has no choice in the matter. Car seats and car doors don’t play well together.
