New News

The Dude.

Ron from Virginia, newly minted Caminohead, got all inspired and did some research for us.  Yesterday we were talking about GK Chesterton and I was feeling like I ought to get in gear and read some of his stuff.  But where to start?  He was so prolific that it is hard to choose for the beginner.  So, kindly Ron came up with this handy dandy link “Chesterton a guide for the new fan”.

I don’t know if that will be a hot link or not.  I would like it to be a hot link but I am having a personal technological breakdown at the moment and that is the best I can do.  I know enough to be dangerous so you have to be aware of that.  I might look like I know what I am doing but no, not so much.

In other news the Autumn here is filling up with people coming here from out of town.  And we have some trips happening also.  It should be interesting.  Usually there is a drop off when the weather changes to rainy blowy but this year we are going to keep on partying it looks like.

What’s the corn news Felipe?  Today is day 23 of having the stand open and selling our sweet corn.  First we had the early variety which lasted for 16 days.  It was slow to start but it kept in the freshness zone for quite a while.  On day 17 I started picking the later variety, Bodacious, and although good it doesn’t seem to have the longevity of the earlier stuff.  All of a sudden it seems peaked.  I was hoping to have a 30 day season but may not make that.  Oh well, those expectations were expectations and we all know how much trouble they can get us in.

Sister Joyce is scheduled to come out today to “walk” Phil’s Camino.  I say that because she will probably drive our sit-on mower around.   It will be fun to have her.  Also I have a couple of cousins showing up from New York later today.  Yea, I better get moving for now.  Off to work.  Thanks, Felipe.x

  1. You’re link is operational. Another great book to get to know Chesterton is The Complete Thinker, The Marvelous Mind of GK Chesterton by Dale Ahlquist. I was also able to load 50 books of Chesterton’s on my Kindle of only a couple of $.
    BTW, I recently purchased the book on ‘Mapping’ that you scanned. Thank you.

    1. Jean ~ I am going to need the longest winter to make a dent in this material. Thanks for the tip on the Ahlquist book. Wish I had a whole another lifetime to only read. Did you buy the Mapping book for yourself or your significant other? It is kind of a guy book maybe. I’ve always found maps fascinating. Keep in touch, Phil.x
