With friends staying at our home, we departed the USA Wednesday so my links aren't as bountiful as they might be, but there's some good stuff here...Treasure this one....

It's fun but it's very, very serious stuff for many of us. (HT: CB)
This is serious stuff too.
And this too. (HT: TH via Twitter)
One more serious one.

Tweet of the week: my son "wonders when everything that is coincidence is now described as irony. Look up the definition of ironic, peeps; it's not what you think!" (lukasmcknight)
2d Tweet of the week: AndyStanley: "Sandra sent Allie and me grocery shopping with a list. I'm not really a list person. So we are pretty much following our appetite."
Great tweets in history. (HT: JC via Tweetie)
My favorite twitter.
Well, maybe not! Well, maybe it will (or close to it)!

Interesting, from the author James Le Fanu, whom A.N. Wilson cites.
How did a guy who tried to blow up Hitler become patron saint of pacifists?
According to Merriam Webster. I like def. 1
The Gapfinder was very interesting. To think the life expectancy for some is an age I've already surpassed and their income is pitifully low. On the other hand, there's Japan with a higher life expectancy with slightly less income than the U.S. So, would you rather have long life and less money, or more money and less life?
Scot,
Just back from Turnberry (just across the Irish sea for us) and thought I'd bring an eyewitness report for Jesus Creed :) If heaven is this earth renewed, maybe Turnberry was a glimpse of it ... (apologies to non-golfers). A beautiful setting beside the pounding ocean; a stiff breeze whistling over the dunes; the sun breaking through billowing clouds; a majestic course that demanded the very best from the very best; and a dramatic plot with a lone heroic figure defying not just the odds but logic, age, and history itself - climaxing with a sudden, agonising twist at the end. Phew. Truth is much stranger than fiction. Here's a question - why did pretty well everyone there (including me) desperately want Tom Watson to win?
