updates and sundry 09-04-08 08:59am EST
Yesterday, I saw my reading list at home and got a good chuckle. Nothing's been crossed of that since I started grad school.

Speaking of grad school, I finally went to the link that housed the article for this week's discussion board yesterday, and found out that the article is actually a short public domain book. I wasn't quite prepared to be reading 64 pages and writing 500 words about it by tonight. I'll definitely be looking at the next 'article' a little earlier. The upside is that it's really good so far. If it keeps this up, we might just have to publish it.

Speaking of publishing, we had something of a rush job land on us recently (guaranteed sales if it was done in time for a women's retreat). That was kind of nuts the end of last week and early this week, but the pre-publication release (for the retreat) has been sent to the printer. A few more kinks to work out and then we'll release it to the public a little later. Also, I finished my read through and edits of Churches of the New Testament on Tuesday, so that should be getting to the final stages fairly soon. The Big Picture of the Bible is also still in the works, although its release was slowed some by our status as a brand new publishing company (read: we decided to wait until we had more capital, which gave us time to edit it—more). I'm about to start reading another manuscript, and I have a submission waiting in my Inbox for our approval or rejection. Plus we're looking at some other PD stuff. Whew. Just thinking about all that makes me want to take a mini-vacation.

Speaking of a mini-vacation, we’re going to Naples this weekend for a short trip to visit Brooke's dad. It's been far too long since we've done that. Naples is a deceptively long drive, but fortunately, my new Jerry Clower CD arrived just in time. ("Lion in the yard!")

Speaking of Clower, it makes me wonder what the Amazon folks thought of my most recent order (made with a $50 gift certificate): On the Reliability of the Old Testament, What Darwin Didn't Know, and Jerry Clower - Greatest Hits. The first book on that list really makes me want to get back to a point in my life where I have time to read what I want to read again.

Speaking of books I want to read, yesterday I saw my reading list at home and...
serenaWow- this DeWard thing is pretty busy :) 
benI'm sure the Amazon box packers often chuckle at the order combos that come in. 
curlieWait a minute. That link just took me to Ethan's blog. Are you taking over publishing rights of that too? ;)

Jerry Clower? AWESOME! He makes me think of my grandpa. 
ninja_penguinIndeed! Apparently, I DID copy you. 
thearteestWe LOVE Jerry Clower - I bought Travis four CDs for Christmas last year :)

I haven't fallen off the planet. Really. It just kind of seems that way.
cruisingmomI have perceived from reading your posts that you are a talented, intelligent fella. If you had fallen off the planet we would all have known. It would have been headline news 'cause that would be one amazing feat. 
madtomkiddTeaching getting to you? (^_^) 
wardNo. Not teaching. 
justgYour mom did strong work today!!! Now, THAT'S a woman! 
iamyourfatherSurely no one's surprised at that
navydocGlad you made a cameo appearance for the draft.

Biden on Obama, McCain 08-26-08 08:10am EST
wardSo, if Biden endorses McCain...

Yeah, that doesn't help me decide who to vote for. 
thearteestThat's fabulous :) 
justgThe DNC has been better than a night time soap. Soaparama. 
carpecollumSome Democrate woman (mayor of TX, I think) spoke tonight in the Democrat talk-fest going on this week. She said John McCain is planning to privatize social-security which would put our retirements at risk. She followed that up with, "Oboma is the choice for change." Sounds to me like McCain is trying to change things... 
jlmanagerSounds good. Will get in on the new one...

like books? 08-23-08 03:23pm EST
Like free books? Check this place out.
wardI listed my first ten today (i.e., I went to the local library and spent $4 to get some old paperbacks that I don't want anyway). This gave me two credits, which I immediately used. Now we get to see how it works from this point on. 
jennI use BookMooch 
curlieI ♥ Paperback Swap. :) 
thepoeticmadmanI'm with you. 
ominieHow did your class go? I'm sorry I can't be in it :-( 
abjbI got it. I just need to go get signed up... I already signed up for the other one before it was canceled... who were the slackers who didn't get signed up in time?!? :-) 
nickomundoWow. Thanks for that clip. Pretty terrible if they've got him on the record saying stuff like that this early after he's announced as Obama's veep. 
danielstephenyep, joined 
skinnsHey Nathan, I have been enjoying the book of essays you compiled. Several of them have really helped me. 
abjbTaken care of. :-)
