On my drive home

There's a new song on the radio that I like. The fella's name is Andy Griggs.
If Heaven If heaven was an hour, it would be twilight When the fireflies start dancin on the lawn And suppers on the stove and mammas laughin And everybody’s workin day is done If heaven was a town it would be my town Oh…on a summer day in 1985 And everything I wanted is out there waiting And everyone I loved is still alive Chorus: Don’t cry a tear for me now baby There comes a time we all must say goodbye And if that’s what heavens made of You know I, I ain’t afraid to die If heaven was a pie it would be cherry So, Cool and sweet and heavy on the tongue And just one bite would satisfy your hunger And there’d always be enough for everyone If heaven was a train it sure would be a fast one that could take this weary traveler round the bend if heaven was a tear it'd be my last one And you’d be in my arms again repeat Chorus

The blogging issue is more complicated. I'm not fond of writing my posts in a browser window. This goes back to when I was first blogging and I lost one or two large posts into the ether. After that I moved to w.bloggar - a great little app that let me compose on my desktop and then click send when all was said and done. I have not been able to recreate that experience on my Mac, and not for a lack of trying! I looked at Marsedit , but that forces you to compse while staring at a bunch of HMT...

Da Vinci: It bleats, it leads

The trouble with The DaVinci code is certainly this : the fundamentals of the Christian creed can be summarized in a few sentences easily learned by schoolchildren and recited aloud from memory by the whole congregation on Sunday. They are great mysteries to be sure - Trinity, incarnation, redemption, salvation, crucifixion, resurrection - but they are simple enough to explain. Contrast that with the account Mr. Brown offers of a centuries-long fraud, sustained by shadowy groups, imperial politics, ruthless brutality and latterly revealed by a secret code "hidden" in one of the world's most famous paintings. The Christian Gospel offers a coherent, comprehensible account of reality that invites the assent of faith. It requires a choice with consequences. Mr. Brown's dissent from Christianity offers a bewildering and incredible amalgam of falsehoods and implausibilities, painting a picture of a world in which the unenlightened are subject to the manipulations of the fe...
