This short film from director Kevin Susman is funny, sweet, and a bit corny but a clever concept. What if there were taxi cab services (in this case, confession) that allowed people to work their spiritual life into the hustle of daily business? A sort of mingling of sacred and ordinary time …

Finally got around to adding Flickr to the sites (this one, Milkweed Hill and the burdenfamily.net main page). It’s a great tool — and a lot more fun than any of the open source image galleries I’ve used on the site in the past. Hat tip to James H. and Rick, both of whom advocated [...]

It was also cool to have the residents and frequent visitors of the various apartments at “the Slab” back together again (hope you had [...]
