Secular Sunday – As Ramadan Begins, An Atheist Wonders If He’s A Hypocrite?

It’s funny how the most simple, brief exchange can stick with you forever and maybe even help remind you of what’s ultimately important in life.

Music Monday – “We’re gonna spite our noses/Right off of our faces/There won’t be nothin’ but big old hearts/Dancin’ in our eyes.”

Any woman who would let me play this song as a “Last Dance” song at the end of the night during our wedding reception (to counter-point our first dance song) is okay by me. Happy Valentine’s Day, Shea!  Love you very much! “In Spite Of Ourselves” – John Prine

Wordle? Why Yes, I’m Something of an Authority Myself…
