Things look different around here. I changed the theme up, because I was ready for a change. In more “catching up with the rest of the blogosphere” news, you can now subscribe to comments. Regrettably, I can’t figure out how to let you log in with your twitter or openID accounts (feel free to suggest a plug in, kind readers.)

I also switched up the way I integrate facebook to encourage substantial conversations to happen in just one place. So far, RSS graffiti has been quick, reliable and worked well on the whole (as long as I post longer than 3 sentences.) The historian in me rejoices in the prospect of not having two comment threads happening at once when I write something people want to talk about (you know, every six months.) Facebook is great for leaving a quick like or short comment and I certainly welcome those bits of encouragement.

Over on goodreads you can read my review of a sweet middle grades novel, The Friendship Doll by Kirby Larson.

School starts this week and we are all thrilled. Hooray for school!

“To know that I am ‘a white male American human,’ that a red bird with black wings is ‘a scarlet tanager,’ that this is ‘a riparian plant community’–all that is helpful to a necessary kind of thought. But when I try to make my language more particular, I see that the life of this place is always emerging beyond expectation or prediction or typicality, that it is unique, given to the world minute by minute, only once, never to be repeated. And then is when I see that this life is a miracle, absolutely worth having, absolutely worth saving….Perhaps we should wish that after the processes of reduction, scientists would return, not to the processes of synthesis and integration, but to the world of our creatureliness and affection, our joy and grief, that precedes and (so far) survives all of our processes.”
