...then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars and say, "these wounds I had on Crispin's Day."

Euclid's Elements and a Geometric Applet


I have developed an interest in Euclidean geometry. I must confess I know very little about it, however I find it thrilling and I desire to learn more.

In the process of studying Euclid's Elements, I came across this handy, dandy little toy called a geometry applet. Click here if you want to examine it. [Warning: it's addictive, but I have not figured out why!] It is a rather cool little device.

One of My Heroes

Here is one of my heroes looking outside the door of his cabin which he built with his own two hands. His name is Dick Proenneke. I hope to say more about him at a later time, but for now I thought you might enjoy this picture of him. Look at the door. He cut the wood from a log with a handsaw. Also take note of the wooden hinges. He made those himself too. Obviously, they were not bought from Home Depot. You could not buy hinges like that from Home Depot or Lowe's even if you wanted too!

I can honestly say (at this point), I do not have a Facebook account, OR a MySpace account. But I do have the Blog at Bree!

Heart of Gold Cover



The young man has talent. He's almost as good as the guy who plays Prove It All Night on the ukulele.

Bree Entrepreneurs


A delightful, cool breeze unexpectedly enters Bree and scatters about the Fall fragrances of the medieval town. Somewhere a bright young man,-full of ambition, shovels waste from his father's pig-pen. He dreams of an inside room with a seat which will one day replace the family outhouse. The daughter of the local blacksmith attempts to mend her shoe with glue made from ground horse hooves. "One of these days," she thinks to herself, "I'll make a super version of this! And I'll call it Fantastic Glue!" An older gentleman dreams of starting a business where one could buy almost anything, so long as it is made in a place called China. He thinks to himself, "I would call it Wam...no, Wall, hold on..., I would call it Bree-Mart!"
