Presidents Who Served First as Vice-Presidents

Thanks for sharing this piece of US history with us. A lot of fascinating things happened in relatively short time. It is also interesting to notice two of them died on the same day and all but one died in January or July.

Presidents Who Served First as Vice-Presidents

@jptanabe - Hi! Good morning! It's always so good to see you. You know I have been giving serious thought to writing about the more recent presidents. That's coming up on my generation and I'm wondering how to approach it. Eisenhower is the ...

Christian Meditation

I think that the opposition to meditation that you mention is found in the evangelical tradition. When I was studying for the Catholic priesthood [I left after three years, the priesthood, not the church] meditation was part of the daily ...

Christian Meditation

I'm happy to read this! For me prayer is about communicating with God, and I would like that to be a conversation not just me talking! To hear God's response I do need to clear my mind, stop the usual chatter, and meditation techniques certainly ...

Presidents Who Served First as Vice-Presidents

How fascinating. Quite a collection of presidents - some who became really famous and others not so much. You never know what will happen to a vice-president! Are you going to write about the more recent ones next?

Why Google Blogger May Not Be The Easiest Blogging Platform To Use

@jptanabe - thanks. Yes, Blogger has both good and bad points and it depends on a person's preferences and needs on whether they'd be interested or inclined to making use of Blogger as their blogging platform or not.

Natural Remedies and Benefits of Aloe Vera on Hair

Hi again, I have bought jojoba oil and wheat germ oil. I will see what they do for me. And I'll use aloe vera gel separately as well. Will try to remember to report back with results :-)

Christian Meditation

Christian meditation is a perfectly fine way to relax and open your mind and concentrate on God and his goodness.

Review of Assassin’s Creed 3 (PS3)

The gaming experience will probably be better now than when I played it. I haven't played AC3 after I finished it so I can't comment on any bug fixes and stuff. Hopefully next AC game will be better. I heard something about a pirate theme.

Book Review: Lucifer by Paul Darrow

I thoroughly enjoyed Lucifer (and also A terrible aspect). Perhaps the subtleties of the story, the richness of the language and the contextual imagery go over the head of the reviewer. It’s ...

Did Shakespeare Have Richard III All Wrong?

Hi, cmoneyspinner. Ian Mckellen is a fine actor, indeed! If you get the chance to see his Richard III, it's well worth the watch. Glad you enjoyed the article.

When Was History?

You too? Culloden is the only place from where I have literally fled. I had to go into the gift shop and look at plastic tourist crap, just to ground myself a lot. It's not a happy place. But yes, seeing the history in a landscape or a ...

When Was History?

Some people manage to live without bothering with history, but I [and you, Jo] live and breathe it. I cannot help but see a place in historical terms, and it gives depths to my perception. When walking through a landscape I read the history ...
