Music Monday – “From Alto Cedro, I go towards Marcané/I get to Cueto, head for Mayarí”

Back from a week in Cuba and I have this song stuck in my head. (Funny tangent about how things come around – a good friend of mine was a big fan of the Buena Vista Social Club when they exploded in the mid-to-late 1990’s.  But at the time, I was too much into pretty standard […]

Music Monday – “Just add flour/Salt/A little red wine/And don’t forget a dollop of tomato sauce”

My month of unusual Christmas song posts continue with one of Australia’s best known Christmas songs – a song with no chorus about a man in prison wondering what the family Christmas will be like without him… “How To Make Gravy” – Paul Kelly

Random Thoughts on the Paris Terrorist Attack

There was a major terrorist attack in Paris on Friday.  I have some thoughts… Part of the reason attacks like this have such an impact is that our education system has failed to overcome our innate human nature.  I saw this summarized in a great graphic that points out how there are over 6 million Muslims […]

Friday Fun Link – Female Runner Who Uses Nike+ To Draw Dicks on Maps is American Hero

[Edit: Corrected title of post to say “…Draw Dicks Is American Hero” instead of “Draw Dicks In American Hero” which is a totally different meaning!] Funny story about a brilliant runner who chooses routes that end up displaying as drawings of penises when mapped online. (This runner also has a Tumblr where she draws other things besides dicks.) […]
