Moments of Adequacy: It's about sex
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2014/07/i-think-this-picture-may-illuminate.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Thursday, July 10, 2014. I think this picture may illuminate a fundamental divide between religious conservatives and the rest of the country on several issues, some of which may seem unrelated: it comes down to sex. My religion trumps your right to employer su bsidized consequence free sex. Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) June 30, 2014. Those folks are proving in their everyday lives that this can be done, and human beings are famous...

Moments of Adequacy: Tongs for the memories
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2013/08/tongs-for-memories.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Wednesday, August 07, 2013. Tongs for the memories. Memo to people who set up buffets, salad bars, and cetera:. FINGER FOODS DO NOT REQUIRE TONGS. The point of serving utensils - whether ladles, serving spoons, or tongs - is to keep people’s mitts (ie, their germs) off the food that other people are going to eat later. But if it’s things that can easily be picked up with the fingers, then enough with the * * ing tongs, already.

Moments of Adequacy: i am stupid
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2004/12/i-am-stupid.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Thursday, December 02, 2004. I left my laptop bag in one client's office, and she locked up and went home for the night while I was working with someone else, so I'm wandering around their building looking for the maintenance staff. I tell my problem to a couple of women in the break room - they promise to keep an eye out for the custodian. I keep wandering, until finally I see his cleaning cart outside the women's restroom. Eventu...

Moments of Adequacy: spit and polish
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2005/07/spit-and-polish.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Saturday, July 16, 2005. When I was about 10 yrs old, we went to Montana to visit some cousins. They lived near an Indian reservation, and we spent a great week or two playing with our cousins and kids from the rez, horseback riding, swimming, lighting firecrackers, etc. Some say this is still in progress.

Moments of Adequacy: OK, this is long
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2004/09/ok-this-is-long.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Monday, September 20, 2004. OK, this is long. We had a cat named Kitty-witz (I guess he was Jewish). This happened. The first time, he got stuck in a medium-sized fir tree, fairly climbable and not that high. Hannah (that's the wife) spied him on a branch mewing plaintively and looking pitiful and bewildered. Then last night he did it again, this time in a tree with no branches lower than about 20 feet. He didn’t come in for th...

Moments of Adequacy: dog nights
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2004/09/dog-nights.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Wednesday, September 22, 2004. Dogsitting for a friend. Their dog doesn't get along with our cat, so the cat's locked in the garage with his food and his litter box. Late at night, I'm working at my computer, the dog starts looking at me and whining, prancing, running to the door and whirling around, jumping up and down, etc. But not on the concrete, where it would be easy to clean up, of course. She had to do her thing on the ...

Moments of Adequacy: Random musings in Kyoto
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2013/09/random-musings-in-kyoto.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Saturday, September 14, 2013. Random musings in Kyoto. Deb and I have spent the last week in Kyoto, Japan, where she and her colleague Jon Yoshioka were invited by Bukkyo University to speak at a conference on education. What's wrong with these people? Don't they know [whatever]? But whenever we see or experience something positive - which is usually - he's all "My people are very talented/orderly/polite/etc." :-). 40-something whi...

Moments of Adequacy: Mr Breakup
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2004/12/mr-breakup.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Wednesday, December 15, 2004. I’m a sophomore in college, and I’ve been spending a lot of time with Karli, a girl I work with. She's cute and fun - at first it’s just hanging out, having a good time together, then it’s a kiss or two, then it’s a lot of kissing, then it’s spending a weekend at her parents’ house. Do we have a commitment? But as I say, I am male, so I get as deep as Karli’s a terrific kisser and let it go at that.

Moments of Adequacy: Self-aggrandizement
http://momentsofadequacy.blogspot.com/2005/11/self-aggrandizement.html
Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Monday, November 14, 2005. About the Personal Favorites section. I saw this on a couple of blogs recently. Once I got past the embarrassment of saying "This is stuff I wrote that I like" (which took about two seconds), I thought it was actually kind of a cool idea. I mean, what if someone tries out your blog on a day (or month) when all you've posted is dreck? Posted by bryan torre @ 12:28:00 AM. At Mon Nov 14, 10:30:00 AM PST.

Updated irregularly, with wildly varying degrees of enthusiasm and skill. Thursday, July 21, 2005. There butt for the grace of God go I. I’m not really sure what this story is about. It might be about the universality of certain things, or perhaps about connection, or first impressions. Doesn’t really matter, I guess. It’s just a story about 30 seconds of my life, and sometimes if people can’t escape my presence quickly enough, I tell them about it. You Are. Ver’. Lucky. Boy. He READ your mind! 40-someth...
