Looking for something else (as usual), I stumbled across these songs.
I don't think I've heard this first one in nearly 40 years:
And who but Mr. Clark could sing this tender praise and worship love ballad?:

Rolling along
This is a Mazda 929...
...which, coincidentally, is the number of posts

Mmm...good!
Steinsuppe ist good food!
The picture that follows is from a couple of weeks ago. After stuffing myself at Mom & Dad's for Thanksgiving, I noticed that Mother had set the bird's carcass aside on the kitchen counter, so I asked what she was going to do with it. She didn't seem too enthusiastic about stripping it down for the last bits.
So, she seemed relieved when I offered to take it home, and she bagged it up in a zip-loc for me.
Ein. The next morning, I spent about 10 minutes with a paring knife, cutting away the last meat from the bone, and ending up with about a pound or so. Then I boiled the remainder for stock.
Zwei. I cooked some wide spinach noodles, and some short-cut linguine, and set them aside.
Drei. Two carrots, peeled and wavy-cut, brought to a boil in the stock.
Vier. In a crock pot, I started with one generic (probably Aldi) can of chicken-noodle soup, to which I added a can of lowfat cream of mushroom soup.
Fünf. Combined the turkey bits, noodles, and carrots with the canned soup, adding the stock until the desired consistency was reached.
Sechs. Whoa, let me catch my breath - it's been a while since I got to Sechs!
Sieben. A couple of Stunden in the crock pot, und...voilà!:

A tryptophantasmagoric treat!
Acht. Essen! I can't bake for shucks, since it requires precise measuring and temperatures and timing and stuff. But give me a crock pot, and a handful of ingredients, and I can always come up with some pretty good comfort food.
I thought I was in dire straits when I found that my metal box of Nabisco Premium Saltine crackers was empty. But, rummaging through the pantry, I found some Kroger thin & crispy wheat saltines as substitutes.
They are the saltines - they are the saltines that swing!
Edit: I guess I'm a trend-setter. Today, Heidi Klum published ideas for spicing up ordinary soups.
Museum of [almost] Modern Art
OK, it was actually my garage - although it is in serious need of a curator.
Rummaging through some boxes trying to consolidate stuff I could throw out, I came across the item pictured below, which I'm sure most of you would agree, is a work of art unto itself:
A fired .375 Holland & Holland Magnum W-W Super cartridge.
Originally named [in 1912] the .375 Belted Rimless Nitro-Express, the round was the second design to feature a 'belt' near the case head to establish headspace. Lacking a strong shoulder, it would not have been suitable for a true rimless design, and a rim would've created feeding issues from the box or blind magazines of the bolt actions that were replacing break-open double rifles.
Capable of generating over 4600 ft/pounds of muzzle energy, the .375 H&H Magnum is considered one of the most popular calibers for African game due to its versatility, and is more than enough rifle for taking any large game in North America. I wouldn't recommend it for Texas deer, unless you're lining up a half dozen side-by-side (but make sure you've got plenty of tags).
From wikipedia - the .375 H&H Mag and .338 Win. Mag
About 20 years ago, one of my customers told me he'd just sold his Ruger #1 Tropical in this caliber, for $300. I could've cried.
I guess in my dotage, I can enjoy reminiscing about the 20th century, and America.
Q&A
Question and Amen, that is.
In this episode, Brandon takes congregants' questions, some as they are texted from the audience.
The Amen Series Q&A - Sunday, December 2nd, 2012 - 9:15 AM from Keystone Church on Vimeo.
Awhile back, the Dew posed the question: "Why does Keystone occasionally include secular music in its services?" Brandon answers the question here, stating that this church doesn't have walls to keep the popular culture out, and certainly doesn't try to keep the sacred, the good news, in. If a song is deemed to have relevance to a topic, even a song that's spiritually 'flawed', the worship & praise team will work to 'redeem' the song. Supposedly, there was much staff discussion about Drop It Like It's Hot (apparently a Snoop Dogg ditty) - the title of a recent series. The lyrics were deemed un-redeemable (I wouldn't know...), but the bass/beat was kept, in the hope that when audience members next heard it, they would associate a positive, not negative, message with it.
BTW, my 'street' name is Donn Dogg. (Like 52 year old white dudes have 'street' names...)

More from Nick, Bob and John
Some guys' fantasies are to go to baseball camp, or rock-star camp, the Playboy mansion
grotto, or astronaut camp (actually, that would be cool).
One of mine woulda been to go to folksinging camp.
This song is also further proof that Robert Zimmerman's songs were often best interpreted by others.

Thong Thumb Blues?
As far as I know, Sister Myotis does not attend Keystone Church.
But judging from her prodigious use of the "Amens", I think she may have been watching the recent Vimeo sermons on the interwebs.
Maybe Todd the Pastor Blogger will use this some Sunday when he's got 'pastor writing block'?
