Struggling with my Quesadilla – Apple Pie Dreams or Quesadilla Nightmare?
Tasty cheesy bits coat my teeth. This particular variant of chicken quesadilla has been nuanced with the modern refinements of a sun-dried tomato corn-ish wrap. A rather impressive achievement. Well, I’m thinking not so much a technological achievement, more like an achievement in culinary mass production technology. I wonder what the top ten quesadilla makers [...]
Book: A Letter to a Christian Nation – Atheist Porn?
I was going to originally title this post, “Sam Harris, The Sexiest Man Alive”, but then I thought that would probably be too honest. In any case, I suspect that I’m not Sam’s type, but now I’m really getting off track of the subject of this post. Kind of like the others but different. I [...]

A Dream this Early in the Morning?
This morning went a little different. Different in a way that might seem wrong, I suppose a in way it might seem the stuff of dreams. A morning finds me downtown at the “early” hour of eight A.M. I use quotes around the word “early” because I think that is what I am supposed to [...]

Meditating with Zen Friends (and no ego)
Recently, I was honored by a friend. He had asked me about some details of Zen practice and the simple questions he asked me brought me to a few realizations. Skillful Means?
