Quips, queries, and querulous quibbles from the quirky mind of Don Kahle

Why do people say 'after dark' when what they mean is 'during dark'? After dark would be when it's light again, right? * There are 10 types of people in this world -- those who read binary, and those who don't. * I'm rethinking the whole brown rice thing. What if it's just more white liberal self-hatred? Whole wheat, honey, unbleached flour. All better. Sez who? * Eugene should be HQ for White People for Diversity. We'll fight for diversity to be included in books, which is where we know to look for it. * Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day, but give a man a pillow, and he'll dream of steak. * What can you say about a state that puts the town of North Bend 225 miles southwest of Bend? We rely on visitors for entertainment.

Christmas music may someday be Christianity’s most enduring legacy. But not if we insist on “updating” them, scrubbing them of embarrassments from the past or the awkward reminders that they aren’t from the present. Hark, hear ye: no age has it all figured out, including this one. Correcting our forefathers for not including our foremothers gives us permission to believe we won’t somehow look just as silly someday to our forebears. So leave it all in. We can roll our eyes if we choose, but better to remember from whence we’ve come. If we don’t tamper with the music of the ages, it’s a tad easier to feel that humility during this season.
