The Tooth Fairy Is Going To Be Broke…

Sasha lost one front tooth last weekend… …and the other front one last night!

Music Monday – “Do you want to live forever/Do you want to go get high/Do you want burn it all down/Before we even try”

“Just A Dream” – Hawksley Workman

Secular Sunday – Church Donations Have Plunged Due to Coronavirus. Some Might Not Survive.

I’m an atheist but I acknowledge the massive role the church has played in various major aspects of society for thousands of years – from being host to many people’s personal milestones like weddings and funerals to influencing global geopolitics. The power of the church has been falling for awhile now but the impacts of this […]

Saturday Snap – Artistic Brush

Happy Father’s Day!

Nice to enjoy the day with my father and my son (who is modeling the robe I got as a Father’s Day gift)…
