Today Americans celebrate Thanksgiving, traditionally with a turkey dinner. What could be more appropriate today than some smiles for the guest of honor?
Does the name Clive Staples Lewis ring a bell? I asked three people earlier today, and they all said “no.” However, when I asked about C.S. Lewis the response was a resounding “yes.” The author if the Narnia series, and theological treatises like Mere Christianity was always better known by his initials than his full […]
Something on the lighter side for your Tuesday.
It’s Monday and as I looked over a couple of dozen half-finished posts, I couldn’t decide what should be in this space today. I’m out of excuses I was going to say I have a bad case of writer’s block, but the fact that I can string these words together would seem to contradict that. There […]
I’m typing this while watching the Grey Cup, Canada’s football championship, on television. No Roman numerals needed for this one. In the US, the Super Bowl is a big deal.

At the same time, it put in gates so that you have to […]
The true believers continue their crusade. It really does defy logic. I noticed on Twitter (the social media site that no-one calls X) that an author I used to respect was posting “data” showing how the 2020 US presidential election was stolen. In this case it was 17,000 dead people voting in Michigan. Maybe I […]
