Y Hallo Thar, Vox

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 06:31:17 -0500

It's been over a month since I last posted, thus totally destroying my streak of posting the previous month's reading in something resembling a timely matter. I thought about waiting until this month breathed its last and doing a double post with ...

QotD: Time Travel

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Tue, 14 Jul 2009 07:51:13 -0500

If you could travel to any place and time for one week, where would you go? This isn't a proper answer to the QotD, but I am compelled to share a spooky moment surrounding it. My husband and I were sitting on the couch yesterday evening, laptop...

The Rest of the Year Won't Read Itself, Either

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 14:27:46 -0500

I was just browsing through the several [_____ is good] pages, and I was mightily surprised to see my name under the [life is good] heading. Aww, shucks--I'm honored. Thank you very much to whomever thought my June reading wrap-up was interesting...

June Reading

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 09:27:05 -0500

Aside from the fifth book in Naomi Novik's "Napoleonic Wars, plus Dragons!" series, my reading in June had a distinct theological bent. Karen Armstrong's A History of God is as good as I remembered it for following the development of concepts of...

Looking Back at Primary

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 09:00:46 -0500

Upon waking up at a horrible hour this morning (0500, ugh) I came across this excellent videos of SNAs living it up in Primary back in Milton, Florida. The mighty T-34 being the first Navy aircraft my husband flew, I consider it an auspicious o...

For You, Iris(k) Mondays

I don't have much to say right now, but I find that Mondays are vastly improved with the addition of pretty flowers. Here are some just for you, dear reader.

QotD: Who do you tell your secrets to?

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 07:48:44 -0500

Who do you tell your secrets to? Or, if we're feeling grammatically correct, to whom do I tell my secrets? As much as I love you, dear Internet, not to you. But hey, I don't paint secrets on billboards (which are not nearly so easily searchable ...

Qualified Right-Seater

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 12:43:10 -0500

I started the month of June off right with my final Mission Observer training flight with the Civil Air Patrol. My husband and I suited up in appropriate uniforms and bundled ourselves off to the regional airport, where our stalwart Mission Pilot ...

QotD: Emergency Contact

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 17:44:22 -0500

Who do you write down as your Emergency Contact? Why did you pick this person? Like most married folks, I list my spouse as my primary emergency contact. Unlike most married folks, our situation is not simple enough to say, "That's that!" and mo...

May 2009 Reading

nobody@vox.com(Elisheva Chana) — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 08:00:04 -0500

May was a woefully light month when it came to reading. I blame the fact that my husband and I went on trips and actually got out and about to do things in the real world; such activities cut severely into my reading time. I guess having our own ...
