Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

Turf

I've signed up for an outdoor soccer team. Our first game is a week and a half away and I am dreadfully aware that my lactic acid tolerance is at a record low. Tonight, in an effort to prevent my untimely soccer-related death, I took to the field ...

Imitation as Flattery

Ok, someone is clearly plagiarizing CACCC. Now that doesn't make it a bad idea, on the contrary it is a superbly brilliant idea, but give some respect--recognize the movement that began it all (that would be right here at Infinite Regression). technorati : christian anti christian coalition coalition , plagiarizing , ...

Mud

Saturday morning found me in strange attire: forgotten pants from the bottom of my dresser rolled up to mid calf, soccer socks for shin warmth and old shoes. I was going mountain biking for the first time this season and was expecting mud and cold. Justin and I ...

Nonsense

Infinite Regression hasn’t been watered very well recently. I’ve been thinking about the drought a lot, trying to examine my reasons for not writing, trying to find a suitable muse for linguistic companionship. My topics here have all been too brainy recently, or so it seems; nothing but ...

In the Edges

I’ve been thinking about fragments and “edges” and “debris” lately. The consensus in the media I’ve consumed in that regard seems to be that wholeness necessarily includes imperfection; i.e. human wholeness precludes perfection, and perfection’s presumption is nothing more than a falsely conceived collection of incomplete parts. The ...

Intellectual Quackery

Ariel (BittersweetLife), a frequent ideological alley of mine, has posted something that must be challenged; I am rather appalled by the thinking and tone in his normally "right on" blog. I've linked to his post and will also start this response with one of his passages (I hate following ...

Ashes and Affirmation

Ashes mingled in oil, ancient history and inclusivity; it is the Lenten Season. This year my church is participating in Lent with a 40-day drive built around a “joining the journey” theme. All too often churches/denominations expend a great deal of critical energy in debunking one another, pointing ...

“You’re a Phony, a Big Fat Phony! Hey Everybody, He’s a Phony!”

I know that China is the home of iPhone rip-offs and lead-filled Colgate, but it appears that their duplicity and fakery  don't end with electronics and domestic household products. China admitted faking the opening fireworks of the Olympic Opening Ceremony as well as faking the voice of the cute little singer ...

Mountain Lion Drags Dog out of Owner’s Bedroom

Crazy story, this is a small front range town just southwest of the Denver area.  I go mountain biking in this area all the time. A mountain lion slunk into the master bedroom of an Idledale home early Monday, snatched a yellow Labrador retriever and vanished. Officers are hunting the mountain lion ...

iPhone Apps

I spent the weekend at a cabin in the mountains and so didn't get a chance to download the the latest iPhone software update until late Sunday evening.  After a frustrating flurrey of "restore, verify, restore" proceedings I finally was forced to delete by back up and do a full ...

The Fattest States in America

Another reason to move to Colorado, the home of lean, well-muscled and tan super people :)

Flat Tires

I keep getting flat tires during my rides. In less than a month I've gotten two flats in remote sections of each ride's respective trail.  The first flat was on Three Sisters trail in Evergreen.  I somehow managed to rip a huge gash in my tube and found myself pedaling on ...
