“Called Out of Darkness”

Yesterday was kinda tough for this potato.  The damage I did to my foot while on vacation took an emotional toll.  While still in Vegas it kept me from doing a bunch of stuff I had wanted to do.  I didn’t let it completely sideline me, but I really did miss out on things I [...]

I’m baaaaa-aaaack

Phew….what a vacation! 
Happy belated Thanksgiving to anyone I missed before I left.  I hope y’all had an awesome time.  Mine was great!!!
I’ll be writing/blogging/whatever about some of the vacation high points.  It turns out I’ll have a lot of time to work on it.  Since I tore some ligaments/tendons/something in my foot Wednesday (while on [...]

At the beep……

Hi!
You’re reached Spudsie’s blog.
Spudsie’s not here right now.  She’s celebrating the Buckeye win over Michigan (go Bucks!) and is headed out for Thanksgiving.
She hopes you enjoy (or at least are amused) by what you read on her blog while she’s gone.  Feel free to leave comments on the November gratitude page if there’s something you [...]

Here’s a song to get everyone in the mood for Thanksgiving.
“Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that’s ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There’s a thousand pretty women waitin’ out there
And they’re all livin’ devil may care
And I’m just the devil with love [...]

Here’s a quick update on yesterday’s post.
I survived the evening. 

Okay…..I did slightly better than just surviving.  (Grin!)  It was good.  I managed to be much more open than I would have been six months ago.  So I’m really happy about that!!  Being open (at least IRL) isn’t easy for me.  It’s truly [...]

Just a “quick” note tonight—I could use some good luck, positive vibes, kind thoughts….you get the idea.  J
I’m going into a setting tonight that is causing me a fair amount of anxiety.  Well…perhaps that’s overstating it a little.  Let’s just say I’m a little nervous.
I’m meeting a new study group (from the church Mr. Spuds [...]

So I was talking with Coach Jim this morning (more on that later) and he observed, “You haven’t written much on your blog this week.”  Or something like that.
“Yeah Jim, I was sick half of last week and didn’t really have the energy to write much.”
That’s what I said out loud.  What I thought was……well…..let’s [...]

I was watching (okay…..technically I was listening) to “Hardball” on MSNBC when I glanced at the TV.  I saw that MSNBC had “broken in” with footage of the launch of the Endeavour shuttle.  Cool!  I muted the volume and watched the launch.  It was great!
Launches of the Space Shuttle mean a little more to me [...]

Night of Broken Glass

Kristallnacht
I cannot let this day pass without making mention of it.  I have no words of my own to describe what I think of this.  My heart aches.
For anyone who may be unfamiliar with Kristallnacht here’s a brief explanation from Wikipedia.com.
“Kristallnacht (IPA: [kr,ɪst.aɫ.n'ɒxt]; literally “Crystal night”) or the Night of Broken Glass, was a pogrom in [...]

Learning to listen

If you’ve followed my blog postings at all you probably know one of the things I admire most about Coach Jim is his amazing skill in listening—really listening and hearing things I don’t even realize I’m communicating.  It’s kinda spooky! 
I suspect a few of you are thinking, “Yeah Spudsie, we get it.  He’s a [...]
