Off we go…
Congratulations to Scott and Beth Slayton on the birth of their daughter Hannah [1] last week. May the Sandman frequent your house.
Russell Moore offers an alternate way of thinking about porn stars [2].
I’ve always been interested in cultural anthropology (I once took a 400-level class in college as free elective…), so I was pleasantly surprised to stumble upon the blog of Grant McKracken [3]. He’s an anthropologist who studies such mundane things as why people order smaller drinks in the drive-thru at McDonald’s [4] than they do if they order inside. Call me crazy, but that sort of stuff facsinates me — as does McCracken’s blog.
John Rabe offers a a review [5] of Moneyball, an interesting-looking book on baseball statistics and challenging long-held paradigms of thought.
And finally, in a rare side-splitting post, Albert Mohler confesses an to an addictive behavior [6] that I share as well. This is a definite must-read.
