Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

I know that I’m the one that keeps reminding everybody that it is not YET fall. In fact, I’m keeping the countdown to fall ticker at the top of my blog until it is, really and truly, autumn!  However, in my neck of the woods, September and October are the best times to plant shrubs,…

Well, we’re all still here.  Some of us are a little worse for the wear, of course.  I want to give you just a wee bit of an update on everyone, and to thank you for your prayers on our behalf. First, and most importantly, my grand-daughter was seen in the E.R. last night, but…
