I hope everyone had a Happy Family Day (as brought to you by the Sask NDP in 2007…although to be fair, the original and longest-standing Family Day in Canada was brought in by those pro-family, and apparently anti-business, Conservatives in Alberta.) So what other topic is there to discuss today except what impact the candidates’ […]
Much love from your boys!
Other than the fact that the scientist presenting this TED talk should know better than to hint that the complexity of human evolution as being so amazing that it evokes divinity, this is a pretty cool video… (A bit more on the idea that just because something is complex, that means it must be divinely created […]

Shea and I were cleaning out the basement today and came across the note I’d sent her mom acknowledging receipt of a damage deposit before Shea moved into a condo my family owned by U of R. I always joke that Shea couldn’t pay her rent one month and next thing I knew, we were […]
