The Alamo
June 14,2018
We got into town late last night, and thankfully the dark shades in our room kept the kids asleep until 8:15am.
Just a quick trip around the corner to see The Alamo! The grounds were even more beautiful than I remember.

Book Review: The Year of Less 📚
June 10,2018I saw this book just before its publication around the first of the year. I loved the description: a millennial’s shopping fast and how it lead to independence and a detachment from materialism.
I should’ve looked closer, because as it turned out, it was a memoir with detachment being part of the narrative. It was a fine book, but I didn’t connect with much of the material because of the feminine focus.
I will say that I’m inspired to do my own shopping ban, declutter my life, and live more simply. If you’re into memoirs or are a woman, you will love and relate to this book.

We moved Felicity into a big kid bed two weeks ago. My favorite part of the move is that when she wakes up in the morning, she doesn’t immediately go and empty her dresser. Instead, she grabs a book, climbs back into bed, and looks at it quietly.

Book Review: On Conscience 📚
May 23,2018This book was given to me as a gift by my parents. I’m developing an interest in bioethics, seeing as its the perfect marriage of healthcare and classical philosophy.
I didn’t find much in the way of discussion on conscience in this book, which is ironic given the title. The book is a collection of two long speeches given by Cardinal Ratzinger. There were plenty of quotes, but my hope was that he’d take head on the questions surrounding the primacy of conscience in the medical field. Of course, that would naturally include the role of conscience in medical decision making and intellectual disagreement in the field of research and practice of medicine.
The book is classic Ratzinger, very deep and thick.
