Our good friend Andrew (James and Mary’s son) was “babs-i-tized” yesterday morning at encounter.
I’m having some problems with the video, but Laurie’s posted the pics on her Flickr page and they’re also available in the encounter Flickr group.
Univision Television (Hispanic focused) hosted a GOP debate last night in which the questions and answers were translated into English. Univision hosted a similar debate for the Democrats several months back and Sen. John McCain was the only Republican who signed up to take place in the GOP debate originally. The debate was rescheduled and all but Tancredo showed up this time. Here are some of the highlights. You can read the entire transcript online. Continue reading from the GOP Univision debate

But what happens when that electronic storage device turns up missing?
Losing a USB device can be a tremendous blow to many.

lots of thoughts on the web today about Romney’s speech at Texas A&M last night.
Thought these were the most interesting…
Mitt Romney took to the microphone the other day to make his stand for religous freedom, unsubtley likening himself to JFK and calling upon the names of Sam Adams, and of course Jesus.
But his speech sounded not a cry for the religious freedom envisioned by the Founders. It was far from an endorsment of America’s cherished pluralism.
It was instead a shameless bid for the endorsement of the Christian Right. Using Jesus’ name, he pitched himself to the Christian Right, assuring them that he was Christian too.
In short, he wrapped himself in the old flag of the worst of civil religion which calls for the Christianizing of the body politic rather than the freedom of religious belief and expression in the public square.
it’s her hair and her eyes today
that just simply take me away
and the feeling that i’m falling further in love
makes me shiver but in a good way
all the times i have sat and stared
as she thoughtfully thumbs through her hair
and she purses her lips, bats her eyes as she plays,
with me sitting there slack-jawed and nothing to say
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
coz she’s all that I see and she’s all that I need
and i’m out of my league once again
it’s a masterful melody when she calls out my name to me
as the world spins around her she laughs, rolls her eyes
and i feel like i’m falling but it’s no surprise
coz i love her with all that i am
and my voice shakes along with my hands
cause it’s frightening to be swimming in this strange sea
but i’d rather be here than on land
yes she’s all that i see and she’s all that i need
and i’m out of my league once again

I LOVE YOU BABY!
If you could go back in time, exactly one year and meet your former self, what would you say to your former self?
What about 5 years ago?
Or 10 years ago?
