"Thou knowest"

Nancy Yos

Location: Lansing, Illinois,
Birthday: March 09

Bio: Google me ...and you'll find there are actually two Nancy Yos-es (Yos-i?). Kind of odd. I'm not the one who writes feminist things for the Oprah website, bless her heart. If you keep Googling, you'll find me in a few, a very few back issues of Commentary, First Things, and American Heritage, and in The Times of Northwest Indiana, The Shopper, The Southtown Star, and in a lovely, now-defunct magazine called Violet, which used to be run by jazz musician Charles Mingus' daughter Keki. Then I tried blogging. (Mom said I should.) I have five. Sometimes I cross-post to Chef's Blade and FoodBuzz, and I write at Helium. Find me at eHow, too, and I am the Chicago Baking Examiner for Examiner dot com. And oh, in between times, I got a job at a (now defunct) wine shop. That was fun. And, like geeky Miles in Sideways, ... I find lately I'm really getting into rieslings.

Thornton Memorial Gardens, Homewood, Illinois; just a few blocks east of the intersection of Ridge Road and Halsted Avenue. Look closely, and you will see the fresh flowers beside the grave of a toddler who has been dead for seventy-six years.

And he said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, thou knowest.

Nancy, I happened upon your blog just now (you were in updates at another blog) and I'm so happy to meet a neighbor. Well, former neighbor. I grew up in Griffith, Indiana, read the Times when it was the Hammond Times, and knew where the potholes were on Ridge Road around Griffith, Highland and Munster.

Ah, the Calumet Region. I moved away for good in 1981 and have since lived in Houston, Dallas, Detroit, and now Phoenix area. But I still think of this part of the country, regardless of its depressed mill economy and the frank ugliness wrought by industry, as home.

Beautiful photos and commentary, and I will be back to read more.
