They stood on the verandah at the D.C.’s bungalow at Pende and watched the torches move on the other side of the wide passive river. “So that’s France” Druce said, using the native term for it.

Mrs. Perrot said, “Before the war we used to picnic

Interstate

The ubiquitous Interstate typeface is a relatively new font, 1990s vintage. It is a clean, san serif type with a wide spacing between letters and unique angle-cut ascending and descending strokes. I think what makes it so popular – think Southwest Airlines, Citibank, The Weather Channel

iTexas Tour: Mission Details

Beautiful, hand-crafted, bridging worlds. The details of these places of worship and war on the San Antonio Mission Trail reveal the life and aspirations of those that lived there. The simple carpentry of the communion table, the color and

My Graham Greene

I’ve posted here for all to see my favorite books, favorite authors, what I’m reading now. Thought it would be a good idea to put together a list of books from my favorite author – Graham Greene.

That Hurry Home Look In Your Eyes

Many of you don’t know who The Jayhawks are. But you should.

I was introduced to The Jayhawks in 2000 on my local public radio station. Back then, National Public Radio was on during drive times, but the rest of the programming was mostly local DJs playing local and independent […] Read the rest
