Criminal Stupidity
I’ve always thought I would be a pretty good criminal. I think I am smart enough to plan and execute crimes that would reap enough financial reward that I could retire after one or two such attempts. I’ve never followed through though. I believe in the law and justice, as imperfect as we humans have […]
The Rainbow
And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. Whenever I bring […]
Best Friends?
To me it was a reminder that we can adapt to almost anything when I saw these two cats sharing a chair this past week.. The orange one spends most of his time harassing the black and white one, chasing him around the house, stealing his food and generally making his life miserable. The daily […]
“I Think You’re Hot”
I seem to get the email or its variant every week or so. I’ve never opened it, so I really can’t say what the contents are – but I can guess. The subject line is “I found your profile on Facebook and I think you’re hot :)” I suppose I should feel flattered. A middle […]
Global Warming?
It is the middle of February, and Canadians are all in favour of global warming. Yes, I know what the scientists say – but the doomsayers of climate change don’t live here. If they did they would join the majority of my fellow countrymen who don’t see what the problem is if the world warms […]
Another Panda Post
Yesterday’s post has me still thinking about pandas. You have probably seen this joke before, but it is worth the retelling. After all, it spawned a popular book about punctuation. (If you are one of those who thinks that the words popular and punctuation don’t belong together, I understand completely. However a lot of people […]

In theory anyway, some day I’ll look back at what’s posted here and possibly regret a few articles and might start deleting some. But in the meantime, I try to deliver a decent product 7-days-a-week to my readers. Here are some questions I must either ask now or ask…

The Emperor Has No Clothes
I’ve come to the conclusion that I have missed my calling in life. I should have been a sculptor. Anyone who knows me will find that a shocking statement. It is widely acknowledged that I cannot draw a straight line with a ruler; stick figure drawings are beyond me. In primary school when we had […]
Five Countries, Five Churches
It’s Sunday, a day of rest and worship, and I thought today I would let the pictures tell the story. On our trip to Europe in July we visited a number of churches, some to worship in, others as tourist and cultural attractions. Today one church from each of those countries. We’ll start with St. […]
