Secular Sunday – Is Santa Actually Satan?

Checkmate atheists!

Music Monday – “Who said that every wish/Would be heard and answered/When wished on the morning star”

RIP Bob McGrath. A huge part of many kids’ childhoods and a deep, impactful connection to Saskatchewan as well. (I never met the man but of all the celebrities I’ve tried to add on Facebook – some successfully, some not – his acceptance was probably the one that made me the happiest!) “Rainbow Connection” – […]

Friday Fun Link – Liam Gallagher’s Funniest Moments

Music Monday – “When I/Think of you/In my bed/Last night/With your head/On my pillow/Well, it gets me high/Makes me wanna fly”

“Caollaidhe” – Greg Keelor

Saturday Snap – A Day in the Life

I was off on Friday and had a busy day… 5am  – Charlie wakes us up.  Years ago, 5am used to be the time I went to bed but not anymore! 6am  – watch “Stutz” on Netflix with Shea.  Wonder if therapy is easier or harder if you’re rich and famous. 8am – drive Pace […]

Using a […]

Top 10 Beatles Riffs

Music Monday – “We didn’t come here on the Mayflower/We came on a ship in a blood red moon/We come in the age’s most uncertain hour/And sing an American tune”

I recently replied to a question on Twitter asking “Who is the most poetic lyricist in music?” by saying I wasn’t sure but Paul Simon is the only one I studied in high school poetry class so… On that note, this is a powerful new take on one of his classics, where he doesn’t sing […]

Friday Fun Link – Paid Twitter Verified Accounts Running Amok

"I'm gonna be blunt here: Elon Musk is running Twitter into the ground…and it's the best Twitter's ever been." @trevornoah pic.twitter.com/COQ3V0q06b — The Daily Show (@TheDailyShow) November 11, 2022 After paying the rather insane sum of $44 billion for Twitter, Elon Musk had to make his money back somehow. Unfortunately, doing away with the site’s […]

The World Is Nuts (aka What’s Keeping Me Sane These Days?)

One of the questions I answer in my annual “End of Year” meme questionnaire is “What kept you sane this year?” It’s a bit early but it’s been a rough year (and a very rough month) for a variety of reasons I may or may not expand on someday.  But anyhow, I thought I’d post […]
