@HOMEwithDean - Spring Cleaning
April 21, 2019 18:30 - 1 hour - 93 MBThe hardest thing about change is changing. The hardest thing about moving forward into your future is letting go of the past. The past does not exist for you to live in it from the present. Those moments, like this one, were something we were just passing through. We’re always just passing through. Which is why I don’t like to think of a house as a castle or a monument or a museum. A house is not an end in and of itself. It’s a base of operations. A vehicle for growing relationships. A fac...
@HOMEwithDean - Adhesives and Tape
April 14, 2019 18:22 - 1 hour - 62.8 MBI wanted to give you some deeply meaningful philosophical gem this week but when I sat down to write all I could think of was not writing something great, but reading something great. So here’s just a couple of things about me, I guess. I love to read and, despite the busyness of this current season of life, this week I’ve still been able to squeeze in a book on empathy written by a renowned primatologist, a story about vampires and witches, and earlier this week I even reread Winnie the Poo...
@HOMEwithDean - Manufactured Stone
April 07, 2019 18:39 - 1 hour - 153 MBWhen I was getting ready for the show and playing around with the phrase “21st Century Stone Age” it got me thinking about how far we’ve come since the first Stone Age, and yet in other ways how little we’ve changed. I know sometimes it seems like everything is changing so fast that it’s difficult to know what exactly you can count on anymore. I mean, when stone isn’t even really stone anymore, how can you know if anything is real? Well, we have some dear friends in town from Sheffield, En...
@HOMEwithDean - Foyers and Hallways - Missed Opportunities
March 31, 2019 18:16 - 1 hour - 87.4 MBThere is as myth propagated by some that when Columbus first came to the America’s the native tribes couldn’t see the Spanish ships because their minds simply had no frame of reference for something so foreign. I don’t believe it. But what I can imagine is a bunch of them gathering on the beach tilting their heads in puzzlement as they strained to categorize what exactly they were seeing. Because it is true that we do all have trouble visualizing what we aren’t familiar with. Or as the Germ...

@HOMEwithDean (3/24) - Kitchen Cabinet Design | Homily
March 24, 2019 18:18 - 4 minutes - 3.83 MBHow was the week? A little bitter? Or was it sweet? Or maybe bitter-sweet? Mine was just that, on about three different fronts. What do you do when life gets unexpectedly complex? My first desperate reaction is to try and define it and oversimplify it so I know what to do with it. That’s because I’m human and can only really understand a thing when it fits neatly into one of my stories. We all do it, so we can tell ourselves something is good or bad, right or wrong, black or white. But ...
