  • Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us. – Matthew 1:23 George Rebane Another year of healing and growth for our family with the arrival of two more great-grandkiddies.  Thankfully, we are again celebrating Christ’s birth with…

  • George Rebane Today as we gather to give thanks, it might (should?) be of interest about how the whole affair started and then evolved.  It’s our history and worth knowing – more here https://www.coffeeandcovid.com/p/the-great-pilgrim-conspiracy-thursday . However you observe it, the Rebanes wish you a meaningful celebration of gratitude.

  • George Rebane It seems that Typepad has been on its last legs for at least a couple of years.  They have shown very little competence and professionalism in how they have been operating their blog service.  I received an email from them yesterday announcing that their service would end on 30 September 2025.  With my…

  • George Rebane This Fourth of July we have something extra and very special to celebrate – the Big Beautiful Bill that passed the House yesterday and will be signed into law today by President Trump. [update]  President Trump has signed the BBB into the Big Beautiful Law.

  • George Rebane Hearing that strong assertion, the Christian answers joyfully, ‘He is risen indeed!’ For us, Christmas is the promise, and Easter its fulfillment.  The summation of all Christianity is Christ’s covenant in the promised transcendence of Man, all concentrated into one simple declaration – ‘He is risen!’  Without this, our faith is a fraud;…

  • George Rebane As a fun diversion, here’s your Easter Egg problem albeit with a round egg.  Given three mutually perpendicular line segments of lengths a, b, c, as shown in the figure,  Problem: (A) derive the expression for the radius r of the circle, then (B) for (a, b, c) = (13,6,18) calculate the value…

  • George Rebane Two air tragedies happened in our land just a couple of days apart.  Yesterday’s medevac Learjet carrying six people came down within a minute after take-off from a Philadelphia airport.  The fuel-ladened jet plummeted at a 45 degree angle into a neighborhood crowded with residences and commercial outlets.  So far the expert talking…
