Silent January

JFJ — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 04:37:37 +0000

It’s been a crazy month. We got caught up with the blogging – but those of you who subscribe via email won’t receive any notification of the updates as I postdated them all to their proper days. So this post will serve as a notification that we are caught up and an inventory of the new posts for the email subscribers.

A great old friend came through town today!

Technical Difficulties?

We interrupt our normal posting with this message. We have changed our permalinks structure. Looking at our logs, it came to our attention that we have been generating a few more Code 404 Errors than normal. This is most likely due to our protocol of blogging everything on weekends, leaving it for the overnight Feedblitz service to pick it up for people who subscribe by email, then editing the dates of the posts to the “right” dates. (We are a sequential couple, and prefer the posts’ dates to be a reflection of when the activity or photo actually took place – not when we had time to write about it.) Editing the dates was changing the permalink. While the Feedblitz subscribers were notified of new posts, the links provided were no longer working. I think our new structure should take care of the issue.

Please let us know if you are getting any errors though.

Letter from Birmingham Jail (April 16, 1963)

JFJ — Mon, 18 Jan 2010 18:03:36 +0000

For MLK Day.

An excerpt from Letter from Birmingham Jail (April 16, 1963)

“… time is neutral. It can be used either destructively or constructively. I am coming to feel that the people of ill-will have used time much more effectively than the people of good will. We will have to repent in this generation not merely for the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence of the good people. We must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and persistent work of men willing to be co-workers with God, and without this hard work time itself becomes an ally of the forces of social stagnation. We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the social rock of human dignity.”

Gary’s Pics From NYE

These are the Macaroni & Cheese Taste-off & Overnight Coffeecake pictures (Thanks Gary!!) from our super fun NYE with Gary and Daniel.

All 4 of our homemade kinds, and the low bar set by the 5th, Kraft.

Kraft, "It's the Cheesiest" - supposedly.

Mama Judi's, the creamiest.

Gary's, really the cheesiest! SOOO much cheese. Blocks of cheese!

Gary & Daniel's, the most gourmet!

Grandma Brown's, the sour creamiest/zestiest. Still Jeannette's fave.

Ready for the Tasting part of the evening!

An orange color themed dinner!

So excited!

Overnight Coffeecake has risen, baked and is ready to be flipped!

Yummy!

Flipping and scraping out all the gooey goodness!

So good, so good, so good!

Happy 2010!

We rang in 2010 with our good friends, Gary & Daniel!

We had amazing fun with a Macaroni & Cheese taste off (Jeannette still likes her own best, but Josh was swayed by Gary’s supreme levels of cheese content!), Pinochle game, old school Frogger video gaming and then waking up with Mama Judi’s Overnight Coffeecake! After all that the four of us headed out for a suburban adventure to watch Avatar: An IMAX 3D Experience. We loved it!! It was a great way to celebrate a great 2009 and usher in 2010! Happy New Year! (Pictures to come when Gary gets them to us! – PICTURES HERE NOW)
