So Walt Disney’s ticket symbol is DIS… like, Dante’s City of Hell and the Roman god of the Underworld.
Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe Mickey Mouse is the Antichrist, and Pluto is his prophet.

‘Til Death (or Taxes) Do Us Part …
Posted in Overheard, Philosophy and Theology on 26 June 2009 | 2 Comments »
At the mid-point of my ride this morning I stopped for a cup of coffee at River’s End Cafe (in Seal Beach). I sat down next to an older man and a middle-aged woman who were deep in conversation. Lacking both books and newspaper, I couldn’t help but overhearing bits of their conversation.

My freeways, how I love thee …

All right, so here’s a confession. Anytime I use three or more freeways to get to a destination, I get a little high. I love the southern California freeway system (and not just because my dad is a traffic engineer and I grew up taking scenic Sunday drives to see new carpool to [...]
Short Personal Update

Dear Friend,
Haven’t been in touch recently — here’s a quick catalogue of “what’s up” in my life.
1) I’m thinking a lot this month about ethics: I’m writing a paper on socially responsible investing and taking a course on business ethics. I’m realizing just how tangled these issues can become. There are temptations (to give in [...]
How do you know a mile?

Several years ago, the day after returning from a semester studying abroad in Oxford, I found myself driving across Orange County to drop my younger sister off at a party. I say, ‘found myself,’ because it was a surreal experience. I drove through at least five cities on two major freeways and a [...]

As those in my daily life already know, my ‘little’ white car (that I’ve driven since high school) finally died during the last couple weeks of the school year. I’ve been unbelievably blessed to have it last through my two year long 350 mile weekly commute. But, I will admit that I was [...]

an excerpt from Equivocation

SHAG (Shakespeare): I won’t write your lies.
CECIL: By the time you’re done, they won’t be lies. Here are the specifications of the dirt. The water. The wood. Anything else you need will be provided. There will have been a plot when you have written the history of it [...]
A Treatise of Equivocation
Posted in Literary, Movies Music Media, Philosophy and Theology, Politics on 13 June 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Bill Cain’s Equivocation (2009), which I saw in Ashland last week, is set amidst the events following the Gunpowder Plot of 1605. It takes the reality that the details of the plot are still highly debated/politically-charged and the fact that Shakespeare and his Players were writing and performing at the same time as these events [...]
Ashland, OR

Yesterday I returned from a week or so in Ashland, a small town in southern Oregon. I had the opportunity to go with a Biola summer class to the Ashland Shakespeare Festival, seeing half the plays and spending the rest of the time with the two K—— children while their mom and dad were with [...]
