Happy Festivus!

A secular holiday for the rest of us, Happy Festivus everyone!

Saturday Snap – A Religious Bird?

A Religious Bird, originally uploaded by headtale. I don’t normally make a habit of taking photos of strangers without their permission (honest!) but I thought this one was pretty funn. A woman sitting across from me on the bus the other day was reading her daily devotions while cross-referencing the Bible. Meanwhile, I was reading […]

Santa Comes Early (Just Move Your Hands)

Happy Whoreoween? Heteroween? Hitlerween?

Shea and I had physicals last week and while wandering through the mall where our doctor has his office, we popped into one of those “All Halloween All The Time” specialty stores that always appear just before the holidays and are gone soon after. In other years, I had noticed that there were a lot […]
