Some of you might know the complicated and disappointing reasons this blog had to take a temporary hiatus, but … be that as it may, it’s back. To the disappointment of many, I’m sure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I’m on the tail end of a cold. It started a couple weeks ago, with mild symptoms. Aches and pains. Feeling tired. Slight congestion. But nothing to worry about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Generally speaking, I don’t get sick, and when I do, I’m over it quickly. This has been quite the exception. It’s been one of those lingering maladies I couldn’t shake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When it got to the point that I had uncontrollable shivers walking the 50 feet from the office to my car, I decided I needed to see the doc. That was yesterday. I was hoping for something bacterial — which can be treated with antibiotics. If it was the flu, I was going to be stuck with waiting it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, no pneumonia or flu. Just a bad sinus infection and bronchitis, so I’m on the magical drugs that make life in the 21st century so wonderful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yesterday was a turning point. I fell asleep under a blanket watching TV, and woke up 2 hours later soaked from head to foot. I think I sweated the bloody thing out, because I felt a definite change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today I’m in that weird state where two arguments are warring in my mind. The one says, “You’re better. Get back to work. Quit being a lazy bum.” The other says, “You need one more day to take it easy and get well.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The typical Crowhill approach to life is to be hard on myself and not accept any lame excuses, but I’m 56 now, and I think I need to start erring on the other side. At least some of the time. So I’m home, taking it easy, listening to podcasts and basically doing nothing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here are a few things I’ve noticed today, which I bring to your attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pigweed and I did an interesting podcast on whether churches should be plain or ornate<\/a>. Please check it out, share it on Facebook, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to Doug Wilson, my Eggs are Expensive, Sperm is Cheap<\/a> book is seeing a bit of a bump in sales. I’m also up to 23 reviews now, which is encouraging. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The version that’s online now is slightly revised. It’s not substantively different, but a couple 30-something women told me they felt they were unfairly treated by some of the language in the first edition, so I tried to clear that up. <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the one hand, I absolutely don’t want to tell anybody what to do. People are free to make their own choices. And what do I know, after all? <\/p>\n\n\n\n On the other hand, some choices really are stupid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Okay, another couple quick things. Crowhill doesn’t tweet any more, but he does share an account with Pigweed here — https:\/\/twitter.com\/pigweedcrowhill<\/a> Please follow, if you have a twitter account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I don’t do Facebook because of my own psychological faults. I simply can’t do it without losing my temper. I wish that weren’t the case, but … it is. But I know that Facebook is a very important way to share messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find something on this blog that you think is valuable, please share it on Facebook. Because I won’t. Because I can’t. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some of you might know the complicated and disappointing reasons this blog had to take a temporary hiatus, but … be that as it may, it’s back.
