Phase III complete

Reading through the last few posts, it looks like Valerie has said, in succession, “We’re getting married”, “We are married”, and “Kyle will say more later.” This gives me the distinct impression that I have the onerous responsibility to relate to you all the goings on of the last few weeks.

I’ll give it my best shot: Phase III is complete. Phase I was the happy “Get married” part, followed quickly by the happy “honeymoon” part of Phase II. Phase III was the unhappy moving part. Phase IV is the happy “sitting around waiting for school to start” part. We’re in phase IV now.

Ok. I’m done. What, you want more? Details?!! How cheeky!
Nevertheless, if it’s details you want, I’ll do my best. Putting everything in one post would be outrageously long though, so I’m going to have to break it down into the above phases, to be published as quickly as my ittle fingers can carry me. So: Continue reading “Phase III complete”

O That I Might Be a Curmudgeon Too!

I have learned from Victor Reppert at [Dangerous Idea](http://dangerousidea.blogspot.com) that a new Christian philosopher blog has been started. That is, another Christian philosopher has taken up the mantle of blogging, not that a blog has been started by a new Christian philosopher. That would also be interesting, but I would link to it for quite the opposite reason.

Doug Groothuis is a professor at Denver Seminary, and he’s started a new blog called [The Constructive Curmudgeon](http://theconstructivecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/). He has only 3 posts up, and each of them is so excellent that not only am I adding him to my blogroll, I think I have finally found a model for my life: When I grow up, I want to be a curmudgeon. At least, I’d like to be a curmudgeon as defined by Doug Groothuis in his [introductory post](http://theconstructivecurmudgeon.blogspot.com/2005/07/curmudgeonhood-opening-salvo.html).

frenetic loquacia

I don’t post as much personal stuff as I ought to, my mom tells me, but I thought I would announce that I’m taking the day off tomorrow. Because I want to? Only so much I wish! I’m having my wisdom teeth removed.

Valerie mocks me when I complain, but I still protest that surgery isn’t natural. Nevertheless, I will be doped up, knocked out, cut open, and eating nothing but soup and yogurt the next few days. Have pity on me.

I’m also getting married in two weeks. And quitting my job. And moving to Boston.

I’ve forgotten to water the plants the last 3 weeks. Valerie’s going to kill me.

Other than that I have no news.

The Book Meme.

I normally try to resist these things pretty firmly, but this one I had to fall for, both because I was “tagged” by Doug Bass at [Apprehension]( http://www.douglasbass.com/blogger.html), and because of my book addiction. Books are the only kind of collecting that has ever made me happy. It’s also the only kind of materialism I truly [revel](http://www.neumatikos.org/2005/06/easton-press/) in. No man can ever have too many books. Obviously, the answers below only apply to me. Valerie will have to answer for herself. Continue reading “The Book Meme.”

Belated Pictures Soon to Come

I have been reminded that it’s the end of the month because I had to write half of our monthly grandparents’ letter. It’s amazing how time goes by so quickly. Since I already wrote my half of the letter and that it included some of the things that I’ve forgotten to write here, I’m going to copy and past parts of the letter into this blog. Yeah, I know it’s probably cheating but I already wrote the other part…so here goes. Continue reading “Belated Pictures Soon to Come”
