Just after my older daughter was born, I felt unable to forgive myself for not being able to manage my life as I had before,” she wrote. “But, with time, I eased up on myself; then, after I gave birth to my second daughter, I let go of my need for perfection altogether. I am […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Our (Legal) Wedding Twenty Years Ago (February 2003)

A few days ago, I posted how it was our 20th anniversary (at least of our legal wedding, not of the ceremony we had on the beach in Mexico a month later which is the anniversary we “count”.) Here’s a picture from our legal wedding (and coincidentally, my cousin who stood up with me happens […]

Music Monday – “It’s knowing that this can’t go on forever/Likely one of us will have to spend some days alone/Maybe we’ll get forty years together/But one day I’ll be gone/Or one day you’ll be gone”

I’ve told the story on this blog a few times before how Shea and I technically got married three times (with the related joke that most men can’t keep track of one anniversary and I have to remember three.

Friday Fun Link – How To Take Sports Less Seriously

I’ve always followed sports and played a lot of different ones in my younger days (not so much these days as Shea said she’d divorce me if I started keeping hockey equipment in the house ever again!) but I don’t think I’ve ever been fanatical in following sports to an unhealthy degree. With that said, […]

Secular Sunday – Happy “Feast of the Ass” Weekend!

Sometimes my Secular Sunday posts critique religion using logic and facts. And sometimes I come across a religious festival called “Feast of the Ass” and I have to post it because I have the mentality of a small child. Heh-heh – he said “Ass!”
