A quick Lazy Sunday today, dear readers, looking back at the recent Spring Concert. I’m looking forward to (God Willing) a relatively normal week of work!
Rock on—and Happy Sunday!

This past week was slammed with preparation for the Spring Fine Arts Festival, which commences tomorrow and culminates in my students’ Spring Concert on Tuesday. As such, I thought I’d look back at this past week:
Happy Sunday!

The school year is in its last legs, and soon yours portly will be transitioning to his new life of once-a-week chaplaincy and quasi-full-time writing. After my reaccreditation team visit (see below), I’ve been reflecting more and more about education; it seemed like a good time to look back at some posts on the topic:
Happy Sunday!

It’s tax-o-rama here in the States, and yours portly has done his fair share of grumbling. Here are some recent posts on that most onerous of topics:
A sign that democracy does not reflect the will of the people is that few things are more popular than eliminating the income tax, but we still have it. It seems like it would be a political slam-dunk to get rid of this ridiculous form of taxation, but I guess too many tax attorneys and H&R Block seasonal workers would be out of a job. But, hey, we could enjoy Easter again!
Happy Sunday!

Spring is springing and sprunging, and here are some recent posts that seem fitting for this new season:

The Based Book Sale‘s short stories niche sale is still in full swing! You can pick up The One-Minute Mysteries of Inspector Gerard: The Ultimate Flatfoot—and a lot of other great books!—for just $0.99.
The sale really got my creative juices flowing about the need to nurture, cultivate,
Who are some conservative creators you’d recommend, dear readers? Leave a comment and let me know!
Happy Sunday!

Between the SCISA Music Festival, my little saxophone gig, and playing with my old Yamaha PortaSound PSS-50, it’s been a week for musical instruments of all stripes. As such, I thought I’d look back at those very same posts:
Now, go out and make some music!
Happy Sunday!

By the time you read this post, dear reader, yours portly should have all of his worldly possessions (and Murphy) relocated to the new house.
I’ve come to realize how much I despise moving. It’s not that I’m not good at it—as a big dude, manhandling boxes is what I’m designed to do—but it is tedious and exhausting. It also seems to take forever.
I’ve opined on this many, many times lately, to the point that I’m sure all of you are tired of reading about my quotidian problems. But I write about what’s going in my life, and right now, moving is the major theme of it all. Indeed, I’m offering 90% off my Bandcamp music with the promo code that sums up my life right now: moving.
It’s shocking how much crap I’ve accumulated over the years. I’m finding clothes I haven’t worn in nearly a decade (which tend to get donated to Goodwill). For some reason, I’ve saved weird gift bags and empty tins (and not cool, decorative ones). Having lived in a relatively small house of roughly 1000 square feet, most of this stuff ended up shoved into closets or cabinets, never to be seen again—until I’ve had to sort through them.
It’s a Sisyphean task. Now that everything is (God Willing) moved, I have to unpack it all. At least this process can take its time to unfold.
With that, I’m subjecting my readers once again to posts about moving:
The sad thing is, these are only some of the posts I’ve written about moving. I think I’ve tortured my readers enough!
Happy Sunday!

While I was focused on moving most of my junk to the new house (and yet, there’s more bric-a-brac left to move), the United States and Israel let loose the dogs of war against Iran. In light of that, I thought I’d cast back to some posts from earlier this year about nationalism, imperialism, and the like.
This edition of Lazy Sunday is largely a rehash of Lazy Sunday CCCXLXIII: Empire, but I’m tossing in some spicy Mongol content, too:
Happy Sunday!

Yours portly got back from a quasi-annual family trip to Universal Studios earlier this week, so naturally I’ve been writing and thinking about that magical wonderland. Here are some posts from this past week all about it:
This post is also another opportunity to show myself in a goofy hat (disclaimer: I did not purchase this E.T. hat… but maybe I should have).
Happy Sunday!
