One woman I would not want to be

In honor of the new Mrs. Michael Schiavo: A serenade.

Go Steelers!

Okay, I don't really follow football. But The Blog Dad does, and this is big for him, so many congratulations on the win.

(While we're on the topic of sports, I may as well mention a victory that meant a lot to me personally: Congratulations to Sasha Cohen, 2006 U.S. figure skating champion and up-and-coming Olympian!)

More housekeeping

I now have a blogroll! Thanks a million for your help, Greg.

Cool news of the day

Chris Rice, the most unique and poetic of Christian singer/songwriters -- perhaps the most unique and poetic of ANY living singer/songwriters -- has a blog. And unlike so many celebrities, he actually has something to say.

Also some new music -- or music that was new last summer when I meant to write about it. Newish, anyhow. They're some of his most beautiful songs yet, and I highly recommend them.
