One Way To Make Sure You Won’t Be Recalled To The Army

Music Monday – “He said, ‘Dad, how are you unable/To love me/For who I am?'”

Devin Cuddy is the son of Blue Rodeo’s Jim Cuddy. Equally rootsy and catchy as his dad but young Cuddy’s music explores topics I don’t think his dad’s ever did… “My Son’s A Queer” – Devin Cuddy

Saturday Snap – Pac-Fish

Pace was playing Pac-Man on the iPad but wasn’t doing too well. He handed it to me, saying “You do it dad. I’m no good at these old-school games!” Later he made this Lego creation, explaining “It’s a Pac-Fish. That’s just like Pac-Man but a fish” which I thought was quite creative…

Friday Fun Link – Funny New Year’s Resolutions

I meant to post these on New Year’s Day but forgot.  But they work equally well as a Friday Fun Link…

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 23 – Music Monday – “I really like Christmas/It’s sentimental I know/But I just really like it/I’m hardly religious/I’d rather break bread with Dawkins than Desmond Tutu to be honest”

There was a method to my madness in posting a Tim Minchin song as my Music Monday selection for each of the past few weeks during my “Atheist Advent” series. It was all to lead up to Minchin’s ultimate achievement and one of the best non-traditional Christmas songs I’ve ever heard – funny, insightful, wistful, […]

Atheist Advent Calendar – Day 22 – The “War” on Christmas: One Atheist’s Perspective

Every December, the stories about “The War on Christmas” pop up once again, like mole heads in a fair game – how various people in society – the politically correct, civil libertarians, atheists – are oppressing Christians by trying to neuter Christmas, make everyone say “Happy Holidays” instead of “Merry Christmas”, and forego the holiday’s religious elements for commercial/secular ones (read […]
