Saturday Snap – Syrian Refugee Fundraiser

People displaced from Ukraine are (rightly) getting a lot of attention right now. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t other groups that are suffering around the world. Shea and I were happy to attend this event earlier this week (though disappointed to not win one of the amazing looking cakes in the Silent Auction!) [Edit: […]

Pretty cool story! “House of the Rising Sun” – […]

Secular Sunday – As Ramadan Begins, An Atheist Wonders If He’s A Hypocrite?

I’m up to playing three Wordle variants daily – the original Wordle, Heardle which is where you try to guess a song as they progressively play longer clips and Worldle where you see the outline of a country and after you guess, it tells you roughly how far away you are from the actual country […]
