I had a good time, too

I think I am on indefinite hiatus. I know I’ve cried “retired” before, but I really mean it this time, especially when I say “indefinite.” I’m fairly sure I can manage to post the kind of content I’ve been providing lately through Facebook (ah, another blog bites the dust). If I ever get the momentum up to start being more thoughtful than that, I’ll be back. Thanks to all of you, both of you, for visiting.

To friend me on facebook or follow me on Twitter (microblogging!), leave me a comment and I’ll send you a link.

Not “Smoke on the”

New Waterdeep album on pre-order. Last year’s Heart Attack Time Machine topped my best of 2007. Brandon Groves will be back on drums, and that’s a very good thing.

Woody Guthrie’s Post-Debate Analysis

Christ for President

Let’s have Christ our President
Let us have him for our king
Cast your vote for the Carpenter
That you call the Nazarene

The only way we can ever beat
These crooked politician men
Is to run the money changers out of the temple
Put the Carpenter in

O It’s Jesus Christ our President
God above our king
With a job and a pension for young and old
We will make hallelujah ring

Every year we waste enough
To feed the ones who starve
We build our civilization up
And we shoot it down with wars

But with the Carpenter on the seat
Way up in the Capital town
The USA would be on the way
Prosperity Bound!

Memorial Donations

Mike Casey had in the past few years been instrumental in creating a scholarly center (the Churches of Christ Heritage Center) here at Pepperdine University that catalogs original documents and manuscript collections, academic research, information databases, and critical historical records and documents of the Restoration Movement and specifically materials related to the heritage of the Churches of Christ. The Casey family has asked that in lieu of flowers memorial donations may be made to the Churches of Christ Heritage Center, by making the checks payable to Pepperdine University, Church Relations Office, 24255 Pacific Coast Highway, Malibu, CA 90265 (Telephone (310) 506-4270 and the contact person would be Jerry Rushford, Director or Tammy Williamson) [Please write on the memo line any such gifts with either “Mike Casey Memorial” or “Churches of Christ Heritage Center”] or to a education related or scholarship charity of your choice.
