Off to the Sierras
Saturday, August 8, 2009 at 01:03PM 
The Riddlebargers (along with some friends from church) are off to the Eastern Sierras.
In addition to rehabbing my study, so far this summer I've been able to complete a number of writing projects (a series for Tabletalk, an article for Modern Reformation, as well as a couple of chapters for a forth-coming book on the two-kingdoms).
But now its time for some R & R, and I can't think of a better place to do that than the Eastern Sierras!

We all want to see pics of the finished study rehab.
Watch out for the White Sox- they are starting to look impressive- especially if Peavey works out. Word has it that they may get Rios to help with their center fielder problems. The rookie trio on the White Sox of Beckham, Nix and Getz has been impressive. They do not act like rookies and have been coming through at critical times lately. The White Sox will make a run and seem to be gelling at the right time. Peavey will be a shot in the arm and cause them to make a run at the series.
Are you a Cubs or White Sox fan, or both?
The Bears might be interesting, now that they have a QB.
Sometimes in Phoenix, we feel like we live in Chicago, with all of the folks that have moved here from Chi-town. We also have a lot of New Yorkers.
Lloyd: I am more of a White Sox fan than Cubs fan. I grew up that way. When I was a kid my dad knew people from the White Sox organization so we went to a lot of Sox games. I have stayed partial to the Sox even though I still watch the Cubs and sometimes take in a few Cubs games. There is a lot more to do around Wrigley field than Cellular field so most Chicagoan's are Cubs fans.
Yes, the Bears are generating a lot of attention and there is a lot of anticipation and excitement about the upcoming season with the new QB. They have also upgraded their offensive line- two new tackles and a new guard to go along with their all-pro center. They may be weak on the receiver end and there are some questions about their defense back positions. The defense could not put any pressure on the opposing teams quarterback's last year so that is still a question mark. Jay Cutler may be the franchise guy they have been looking for. The Bears have had problems at quarterback for about 50 years now.
Can't wait for that two kingdoms book!
The White Sox own the Tigers- I see more problems with the Angels, Rays, Yankees or Red Sox than the Tigers. So are you in with the Confessional Outhouse rag muffins- a Grand Rapidian or a native from Detroit?
