Behold, They Had Done It

Posted on February 12, 2026 by Pete

My grandson gets a kick out of completing a Lego kit. At his age, they’re small and simple projects (not yet ready for a 1,500-piece Mustang or a 3,600-piece Star Trek Enterprise), yet they still require him to sort the … Continue reading →

The Temple Opened (2014 Rerun)

Posted on December 12, 2025 by Pete

Look and Listen

The Same but Different

Posted on December 5, 2019 by Pete
