On Sunday, the family and I will be taking a trip to Newberry, SC to visit the Clayton Memorial Church, a UU (Unitarian Universalist) church with a rich and interesting 100-year history.

The building was constructed by two brothers in 1905 and It still sits among the fields of the original family farm. For many years, church members received spiritual sustenance from circuit riding preachers who made their rounds on horseback.

My PHP studies are now concluding for the evening. I have reached the section on “Associative Arrays” and decided my brain needed a break. Now it’s time for more coffee as I prepare for a night of .TV drop catching under the Southern moon. Peace be to all Cybertravelers, and may you catch that perfect wave, as you ride the surf of the global binary ocean known as “The Internet”.

I found this cool picture of the Twitter main offices. Now that’s a neat workspace.

The Neil Youngish O’death sings “Home” while perched atop rocks, oceanside. I just found this recording and since my blog is under a cut and paste flood, I figured why not. Yes I know, it’s only rock and roll but I like it.
