I'm going to have my own podcasts and be my own guest host sometime...
Checking it now....
Didn't I introduce you to Jeff?

Agreed. Fall is my favorite time of the year.
Ok... I'll keep coming back. Actually, you don't need to ask, you're a gifted writer and always a pleasure to read.
I'm with you on etiquette. Especially at a wedding. Folks forget that the wedding is about the bride/groom, not them. Get a clue folks!
Ike... yep, even up here in Ky we got nailed by it, 75mph winds... 4 days later, still 150,000 homes without power. Thankfully all we suffered was some minor roof damage. Crazy....
West Side Story? To each their own. I'd rather go to the dentist.

Agreed with about everything except the "love unconditionally".. not that you shouldn't, I agree with what you wrote but I don't think cats are the best analogy for that, i think you confused them with dogs... and as an owner of 2 cats and no dogs, you know that's coming from a "cat" person... cats are your friends on their terms.... something I find kind of funny and I like about cats, it's why they are independent and can be left alone all day and they don't miss you like a dog does... well they do but not in the same way... heck, with 2 of them, they don't need you for much but food and litter changes... 8^)
Great post... we're big believers in the "spoon"... really, it's just common sense but today's PC society makes any kind of parenting taboo.... yet some parents who think spanking is wrong are fine taking their 7 year old to a PG13 movie or their 11 year old to an R rated movie....

...As Pullman insists, Eve and Adam were right to eat the forbidden fruit and God was a tyrant to forbid them the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.
...Is there more to the larger story? Yes, and it has to do with sex. Surprisingly graphic and explicit sex.
...Pullman believes that the Christian church is horribly repressive about sex and that this is rooted in the idea of the Fall. As he told Hanna Rosin of the Atlantic Monthly, "Why the Christian Church has spent 2,000 years condemning this glorious moment, well, that's a mystery. I want to confront that, I suppose, by telling a story that the so-called original sin is anything but. It's the thing that makes us fully human."
...He wants to celebrate the adolescent's arrival at sexual awareness.

did you read the article? there's a lot to make a "fuss" about. you even say it yourself that it's got a "spiritual" component to it. here's why you should be concerned:
This is not just any fantasy trilogy or film project. Philip Pullman has an agenda -- an agenda about as subtle as an army tank. His agenda is nothing less than to expose what he believes is the tyranny of the Christian faith and the Christian church. His hatred of the biblical storyline is clear. He is an atheist whose most important literary project is intended to offer a moral narrative that will reverse the biblical account of the fall and provide a liberating mythology for a new secular age.
...He told an Australian newspaper that what he is "saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old Harry [Potter] has said. My books are about killing God."
