It Makes Sense

You don’t expect spiritual truths from the daily comic strips in the newspaper. But this one yesterday, from the Pickles strip spoke to me with its understanding of God, humans and the relationship between us. He likes it when all we want to do is say hi, and maybe get caught up with each other.

Labour Day 2026

Today is a holiday in Canada. In the US also, though they spell it Labor Day. I guess the extra ‘u’ was too much like work, so they dropped it. Given that it is a holiday, I thought I would take today off – especially since today is a salute to workers, and posting here […]

Take A Break

I don’t remember how I wound up on the mailing list, but I admit i enjoy the emails enough to glance at them. Even if I have never bought the products.

Some Assembly Required?

Cheaper than the chicken with bones, but the taste is rather different.

Darwin Was Wrong

There’s a certain amount of truth to that. If there was such a thing as evolution, it seems to have stalled. We don’t see apes becoming human. Though some humans do behave like apes, so maybe evolution reached its peak and is now being reversed..

So True

I think it is because of the heat. At least where I live. It makes the days seem longer. Thursday does have at least one thing going for it. My local pub has chicken wings for half price on Thursday. Every four to six weeks or so I get together with a group of friends […]
