For various reasons ranging from geographic isolation to stronger health measures to more compliant populations, there are actually countries in the world where life continues almost as if there isn’t a worldwide pandemic still affecting the majority of the planet. People are going to restaurants, attending concerts & sporting events, having family gatherings and much […]

Healthy Skepticism vs. Conspiracy Thinking – Where’s The Line?

V-Day!

After a very strange, long, historic year, it feels pretty monumental that the UK is the first country rolling out their Covid vaccine starting today (okay, Russia actually started a few days ago but I think the UK is getting all the attention since that’s the Pfizer one most of the world will be using) […]

Secular Sunday – Judgement on Covid-19 (HEAVY METAL Kenneth Copeland Remix)

I can’t decide whether to use this on Secular Sunday or Music Monday! And honestly, I’m a big fan of science and logic. But do I not also sometimes wonder how much more interesting life might be if I believed this kind of loony-bird bullshit? Like imagine being somebody who watches the guy on the […]

Friday Fun Link – What Are All-Inclusives Like with Covid Protocols

Obviously Mexico and hot holidays are on my mind lately – yesterday, I posted about how a picture of the Isla Mujeres ferry evoked some thoughts about how much life has changed in the past year and then I found myself seeking out videos of those brave (foolish?) souls who are still venturing south for […]

The Return of Rainbow

Sasha’s had one of those Elf on the Shelf things the past few years (well, a Dollar Store knock-off) but this year, she’s figured out some secrets about Santa, the North Pole and surveillance state elves that watch your every move. Even though she’s figured out that the elf doesn’t move on its own (I […]

A Memorable Way to Decorate a 2020 Christmas Tree

Between the four of us, we’ve accumulated numerous masks over the last few months. Shea’s dad suggested we could use them to make a very memorable 2020 Christmas photo (and this doesn’t even include all the ones we have stored in vehicles and stuffed in jackets and left at work!)
