Peniel
If this blog had another name, that would be it: Peniel.  Is that not, "one who wrestles with God."  Something close. That would be me. It's strange, since I began writing about Brian's book (and I am not done, as you will see) I have cut the personal content here, as if I suddenly found myself in the book review pages of a newspaper.  Posh.  I must remind myself this is not publication, this is a web log. The hardest thing about this activity is the lack of community sense.  I need to put a counter up; I surely get very few comments, nearly none.  Writing into the void.  Rather existential. I had my vasectomy Friday, finally.  Stayed home from work Monday (though I thought I would not have to beforehand).  I am sore, and the stitches are bugging the heck out of me, but it was not that bad.  I will say, when they ask, "would you like a valium IV?" say yes.  I did.  Almost worth the surgery.  My friend Allen who drove me there and then home (very kind of him)...
