Invoking sandlot rules from days gone by our middle-aged, eccentric, and perhaps crazed institution icon Uncle Rich summons his closest friends, The Electric Seven a.k.a. his Wyoming friends, to a formal gathering for which there is no RSVP. "Busy busy bees are my friends. Ah, but they have lives to live. Well intentioned we are to get together, alas we never do. By damn, it's time to take the bulls by the horns and the cows by the teats! They have left me no choice. I am calling a timeout to make time out to see each other. This is the year the calendar stops! It's conclave time" To insure no one even dare attempt to back out of this mandatory attendance meeting Uncle Rich enlists the help of his reluctant nephew Jimmy, an ex-Army logistics specialist, to covertly manipulate the schedules and calendars of this eclectic group. There are things that need to be said, some fences mended, some faith restored, and resources distributed while they are still young enough to make things happen. This is a story of the cast of characters Bad Elvis, Pirate, Smoke, Hippie, Zoomer, and Mia. This wonderfully witty tall tale illuminates the paths of their lives lived, living, and to be lived with all roads leading to The Macadamia Ranch, Wind River, Wyoming.

Product Description: The Experiences Through the Human Eyes by Richard Cross

The Franciscan John Duns Scotus (c. 1266-1308) is the philosopher's theologian par excellence: more than any of his contemporaries, he is interested in arguments for their own sake. Making use of the tools of modern philosophy, Richard Cross presents a thorough account of Duns Scotus's arguments on God and the Trinity. Providing extensive commentary on central passages from Scotus, many of which are presented in translation in this book, Cross offers clear expositions of Scotus's sometimes elliptical writing.  Cross's account shows that, in addition to being a philosopher of note, Scotus is a creative and original theologian who offers new insights into many old problems.

Product Description: The period from Thomas Aquinas to Duns Scotus is one of the richest in the history of Christian theology. Cross aims to provide a thorough examination of the doctrine in this era, making explicit its philosophical and theological foundations.

When a teacher at Paragon Prep comes into conflict with the headmaster, he and some of the disaffected faculty surreptitiously start a faculty association. As if this isn't enough, he finds himself trying to deal with a student who is in dire need of psychological help, a student who clearly may prove to be dangerous.
