We leave on our European adventure in about a month – but I cannot really believe it’s going to happen. I remember the last time we were ready to take a trip that we had dreamed of for years – to Ireland.

My family and I moved to Warrensburg this past June and our second night in town, day two of moving, I decided to order pizza at Pizza Hut for all the hungry and tired movers.

My summer semester is over – no telling students for a while not to begin sentences with the expletive pattern and to develop a thesis statement that will make their argument easy to follow. I have a few weeks before I start a fall class and begin those admonitions all over again. Somehow, I think God knows when I need a break, because a few of my complex law cases wound down about the same time I was grading finals. This means I have time to do . . . what?

Long before Aug. 6 became synonymous with the bombing of Hiroshima, it was observed widely by Christians as the day commemorating Jesus’ transformed appearance from ordinary to extraordinary — "his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light” (Matthew 17:2)—as the Passover of his death and resurrection drew near.

There are hard and fast rules of what wines go with what foods that are centuries old, written in stone and to some, almost a religion. But what about our modern foods?

While the rosé wines seem to be everywhere this summer, we should not forget the white wines which also fit well with summer dining.

I’ve been working – sporadically – on a project that one of my friends introduced me to. It’s called “Storyworth,” and the upshot is that each week, Storyworth asks me a question about my past, and I write an answer. Well, that is the way it’s supposed to work. For a while, I was doing my darnedest to answer the weekly question, but then things got out of hand.

During June and July, newspapers across Missouri are publishing tens of thousands of names of people for whom the State Treasurer’s Office is holding unclaimed property totaling more than $1 billion. This is not the state’s money – it is Missourians’ money, and I am committed to returning it to its rightful owner.
