Well, perhaps musings re: “Laodicean”, since neither meaning of the word applies to me.
I have to congratulate 13-year-old Kavya Shivashankar for winning this, especially with an obscure word that I didn’t know the meaning of until I was into my 20s.
The word in question makes me wonder, though, about the inclusion of such a very [...]

When does a series of “coincidences” cease to be credible as such?
A great many prominent people have contrived to get themselves shot or otherwise removed from this mortal coil at a time when it is particularly propitious to their enemies.
Much has been written about the JFK assassination, and attempting to contain it all in a [...]

The more you stay the same, the more things change around you.
This is not to say that conservatism is inherently wrong or negative, but rather that it is ultimately flawed; a 2009 conservative has very different views from a 1969 conservative, who is also different from a 1929 conservative – they all have fundamentally the [...]

Today I’m guest posting over at CougarMicrobes.com for the first, but hopefully not only time.
So there’s not much to see here, but I will share the recipe for the rhubarb pear crisp which went over so very well, rather than letting it languish in the comments on an older post. There should also be a [...]

Haven’t posted much this last week, at least in comparison to my more recent flurry of activity. However, a few notable items.
Dollhouse appears to be renewed, against all the odds. The official announcement of such things from Fox comes tomorrow, but well-placed sources are printing the renewal as news.
My readership appears to have seen a [...]

It seems hope is not yet lost.
Dollhouse renewal talks are ongoing. That Fox didn’t simply slam the door is better news than I expected.
The DVR numbers are encouraging, and DVD pre-orders are already setting a startling pace. The Stability Index Rating is one of the highest in network TV today. Plus, the show is cheaper [...]

Earlier this week I got involved in Facebook discourse regarding suitable materiel for the George W. Bush Presidential Library. Upon reading the assertion that Dr. Seuss might be a little highbrow, I found myself in disagreement. Seuss would be fine as long as there were ready adaptations more pertinent to the political realities faced by [...]

While I know there are other moms who read this blog, today’s post is for an audience of one.
Calendar-wise, it must be right around thirty years since my Mum first discovered she was expecting me, and in that time there have been a few ups and downs, and I’m sure I’ve been the cause of [...]
