Welcome to Prairie Home Compost, a discarded pile of organic thoughts & musings from a son of the Prairie State beginning here in 2008.
A little bit about me, True Dat, I guess should form the base of this heap. I'm 40 and happily married with 2 young boys and living smack dab in the heart of Illinois. I'm a 4th generation LCMS-Lutheran of Prussian descent and a Marine Corps veteran (an old "Cold Warrior" I work in an university Archives by day and teach history as an adjunct at the local Comm College by night. I also teach a weekly Bible study on Wednesday nights and lead a once-a-month small group study and participate in a weekly community group at church on Saturday evenings.
I fish but don't hunt, I prefer baseball to football, and non-fiction to fiction. I believe the best part of vacation is the getting there and that is why my wife and I love to drive instead of fly and we always check out the roadside attractions! Capra movies are my favorite films and U2 my favorite tunes, and James Herriot books my most enjoyable reads after the Bible. I am obviously a Garrison Keillor fan too, when it comes to radio, and on TV I like PBS the most, but I do watch CSI regularly & on weekends I like the westerns & mysteries on Hallmark.
With the boys, my wife and I don't get to to many movies but we plan on seeing Juno this Friday and taking the boys to see Veggietales The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything after church on Sunday.
Well, that is enough to form a base I guess, I'll be back tomorrow with more to throw on the heap.
God Bless you and keep you,
True Dat
