Music Monday – “Right wingin’, Bitter clingin’, Guns and God Are Our Religion”
As a general rule, I don’t think you should mock your political opponents. But since these two yahoos are from the US, they’re technically not my opponents and I’m free to highlight their stupidity freely. 😉 In all seriousness, Sarah Palin’s recent endorsement of Donald Trump was mystifying.

The 10 Most Unique Experiences In My Life
Shea and I have reached that point in our lives where we tend to buy most Christmas gifts for ourselves and then label them as if they were from each other. But we do usually try to get at least one original “surprise” gift as well – for example, this year I bought her some […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Star Wars Christmas (sometime in the early 1980’s) & Friday Fun Link – “The Force Awakens” Random Thoughts
Not often I get to combine my Throwback Thursday and Friday Fun Link but after making a fairly spontaneous decision to go to a midnight showing of the new Star Wars movie last night, I thought posting this picture was a bit of both categories. I’ll try to keep it spoiler-free as I give a […]
Music Monday – “Each Christmas come since World War One I’ve learned it’s lessons well/That the ones who call the shots won’t be among the dead and lame/And on each end of the rifle we’re the same.”
They don’t come much sadder than this one… “Christmas in the Trenches” – John McCutcheon
