Pace did this to himself after parkour, he wasn’t being bullied by a classmate (or a parent) – honest!

Covid News and Research Round-Up

Random thoughts: * Covid isn’t over even if people are acting as if it is. * I don’t think its fear-mongering/living in fear to pay attention to what is being reported by scientists, medical professionals and others. * I have a pet peeve with people who say “My Covid was mild” which I hear as […]

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, […]

So You’ve Had Covid…

I’ve probably been overly obsessive about reading and rEsEaRcHiNg about Covid ever since the pandemic began – all aspects from the science of it to the economic and political implications to the occasional conspiracy theory (well, blitzed with them every time I open a social media site!)

Secular Sunday – “And then Jesus said unto his disciples…sorry, wrong jurisdiction.”

I honestly sometimes don’t understand humanity – there are people living in tents in frigid weather and freezing to death in the streets and our decision makers, a number of whom claim to be Christians, could use their power to try to do…anything…but then they don’t. Uhm, Merry Christmas everybody? And then Jesus said unto […]
