I was watching one of those cheesy but great claymation Christmas TV specials with my kids and heard the song "we're a couple of misfits" and inspiration hit. See, I was one of those kids (and adults for that matter) who never really fit in. A square peg in a round whole type deal.

The following passage was written not about a man or a woman in love, nor was it written about the mechanism of worship in the human heart, in spite of how precise an image it makes. It was written about a dog.

This morning when I woke up I could hear the wind blowing leaves off the tree outside my house. They made a loud clattering sound when they hit the concrete porch and then scraping noises like someone scouring a dirty skillet. “Man, I could listen to that all day” I said to no one. So I did [...]

My oldest child starts Jr. High School this fall, and we had parent orientation the other night. I went by myself because my wife’s back was pretty inflamed.

10. May 2009
During our Bible study, instead of sitting or sleeping quietly by my side as Oreo always did, as everyone expected her to do, she sat at the back door and made small crying noises, sympathetic noises that were hard to ignore. The sick cat was on the other side of the door.
