Hansoniana: Almost a Month...
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2007/07/almost-month.html
Sunday, July 08, 2007. Without blogging - not a bad lapse when you're me. It's so hard to blog faithfully! There's too many other pressing things to do: read Dorothy Sayers mystery novels, prepare for the upcoming school year, fret about finance, and give up one's internships. McCaleb and Faith Salutes, the first digitally and the latter in person, have urged me to update. Here it is, then, my friends: a new post. I'll keep it short, though; I don't want to burn out. Way to keep it short. Burn out.

Hansoniana: Corpus Christ
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2009/06/corpus-christ.html
Sunday, June 14, 2009. Today was the Feast of Corpus Christ - the Feast of Christ's Body. Why celebrate or even think about Christ's body? I want to get at an answer by thinking about a current American figure of great influence: Oprah. Now it is news, isn't it, when Oprah's weight is up and when she diets? Different: she has a plan, a method, a clinical routine. Oprah, though possesses prestige or, better yet, glory. And in her glory she offers hope to millions. Corpus Christ is nothing strange, then...

Hansoniana: Personal Letters
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2009/06/personal-letters.html
Friday, June 12, 2009. When was the last time you mailed a personal letter? I mailed one this morning, and you should mail one tomorrow – by Monday at the latest. Back in March, I went to a legal-writing seminar presented by Bryan Garner. But how does daily letter writing serve the ideal? Plus, letters strengthen the fine mesh of friendship. So write a letter today, tonight, or tomorrow. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The Mahwah Literary Review.

Hansoniana: One Week of Vacation
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2008/06/one-week-of-vacation.html
Monday, June 16, 2008. One Week of Vacation. We have vacationed for one week, and we have one week to go. It has been good so far: no major fights, no broken limbs or debilitating sun burns, and lots of Monk. Has been watched. If you've never seen Monk. I recommend it. There's mystery and detection without the serial killing and sexual assault that Law and Order. Barrels don't usually fall out of windows sua sponte. The situation bespeaks negligence. Res ipsa loquitur. Mon Jun 16, 10:55:00 PM.

Hansoniana: Vacation: Day Three
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2008/06/vacation-day-three.html
Wednesday, June 11, 2008. Gianna wouldn't go to sleep easily last night. Well, she wouldn't go back to sleep easily, I should say. Stella woke her up. The adults didn't sleep well. We spent the morning in the park. I went and bought two Gyros and a turkey sandwich for the girls. Life is easier when you can walk everywhere you need to go and you can spend the hours between 10:00 AM and 6:00 PM out of doors. It's her best. (I recommend starting from the beginning, McCaleb. Read Whose Body?

Hansoniana: Trinity Sunday
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2009/06/trinity-sunday.html
Sunday, June 07, 2009. Gratias agimus tibi propter magnam gloriam tuam. This is my favorite line from the Latin text of the Gloria, which is heard each Sunday during Mass, although usually in English in this diocese. Today I heard the Latin because Stella and I attended the eleven o'clock at the cathedral, a Mass replete with smells, bells, hymns, and chant. So it strikes me as a rather wild idea to thank God for His glory. Yes, I suppose that left to myself I would be inclined to thank Him for what ...

Hansoniana: Back From Vacation
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2008/06/back-from-vacation.html
Tuesday, June 24, 2008. We arrived back in town on Sunday evening. Yesterday was a day for settling back in. Today is the first day of home-life fully resumed. Living in another house for nearly two weeks made me appreciate my own home all the more. I like knowing where things are, the good spots to sit in, and what won't kill my children or maim them. I like having my books about me. I like Phoenix. Now, ensconced in my study, I set out in earnest on the road to law school. Ojalá que llueva café.

Hansoniana: Vacation: Day Three
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2008/06/vacation-day-three_12.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. Today we met Elmo. Arriving early, we ate the sausages and tasteless eggs provided by Sea World (at $19 for each adult, and gratis for the children) in eager expectation. When Bert entered followed by the star himself, Stella became a quivering chunk of clingy two-year old. I had more sausages. We ate dinner at the park. I was able to dart across the street to check some books out from the library. I came away with some Barzun I never heard of and some I never had time for.

Hansoniana: Visiting the Acacia Branch
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2009/05/visiting-acacia-branch.html
Saturday, May 30, 2009. Visiting the Acacia Branch. My two oldest girls and I are at the library. We are at the Acacia branch, to be exact. Yesterday evening we went to the Mesquite branch. The difference between the two is striking. My wife says that she doesn't like going to the Acacia branch because of the "weirdos." She enjoyed the month-long closure of Acacia for remodelling because it was a good excuse to go to Mesquite. True, my good man, true. It's about time you blogged again.

Hansoniana: My Formal Foray into Film Noir
http://hansoniana.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-formal-foray-into-film-noir.html
Monday, June 01, 2009. My Formal Foray into Film Noir. Because I kept hearing film noir discussed on Mars Hill Audio Journal. I decided that I needed to watch some examples of the genre. And so far I have watched two: Double Indemnity. And The Big Sleep. I started with Double Indemnity. Because Mars Hill played an excerpt that intrigued me: the narrator's speech about meeting his femme fatale with the smell of honeysuckles in the air. Murder, he tells us, can smell like honeysuckle. I plan on watching th...
