In the spirit of this repository, and to my children, these are my favorite quotes:

  • "I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do."
  • Robert A. Heinlein
  • “Those who abide by secrecy, will embrace tyranny.” Know, by not named.
  • "you know, some people believe that they're Napoleon. That's fine. Beliefs are neat. Cherish them, but don't share them like they're the truth." Bill Hicks
  • "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required," reads Luke 12:48 in the King James Version
  • “We must never underestimate our power to be wrong when talking about God…. A generous orthodoxy, in contrast to the tense, narrow, or controlling orthodoxies of so much of Christian history, doesn’t take itself too seriously. It is humble. It doesn’t claim too much. It admits it walks with a limp.” Brian D. McLaren
  • "Character is what you do when you think no one is looking" Unknown
  • "Volunteers don't necessarily have the time, but they have the heart" Unknown
  • “when the flesh fails, we are sustained by the Spirit” Sister Monica Clair, Episcopal nun.

The venison from Robert Ruiz (AKA, Bobby Danger!). It had been in our freezer since 2022 and 2023 respectively.  Essentially all ingredients were what was on hand on this day. At the start of the day (8am), the meat was still frozen. so I added it to the slow cooker immediately, and covered it with the all the liquids required for the recipe. Once defrosted (10am), I added the remaining ingredients. Turing the cooker on high for one hour and then back to low for 7 hours. I estimate that all should be ready by 6pm. 2 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound venison cubed 1 pound ground venison 1/2 pound bacon (cut to squares)*cook separately and then add 1/4 cup all purpose flour Freshly ground salt and pepper 2 cups beer (Guinness) *one pint 2 shots whiskey (Old Grand Dad 115) 1 tablespoon Worcest...

Photo credit:  Scott Cain  "Red rusty land for water" Friday: Steamboat Springs, Colorado Awake at 5:45am As usual, I am up and about before any of the other people in the rental house. Also, I might have been the first one to bed. Craig always sets up the coffee pot the night before, and each morning I turn it on. It’s nice to be up and in the quiet, with fresh coffee. I do cherish these moments quiet and alone. But this morning is not a quiet one. Most of the family is soon up and about with in an hour. We are to be at the boat house for the rafting trip before 7am. So there is much commotion in the kitchen. Avery is one of the first ones up, and it does not take us long to realize that he really wants to go rafting with us. It is agreed that we will find a way to add him to the group. We make him an extra lunch, because all the lunches were pre-ordered weeks ago.   By seven am and we are all at the boat house (Bucking Rainbows). Our crew all pile into one of the bi...
