I’ve been thinking about names for Curtain Climber, and have wondered if we should come up with a new name for him. So far, we’ve thought of: Rocker Climber Counter Climber Table Climber Cabinet Climber Computer Monitor Climber Television Climber Mom Climber All in all, I’m not convinced any other name would make much of […]

Please pray for my dad’s health. His name is Ron. He was just scheduled for surgery to remove a kidney cyst and a solid mass on the kidney that they believe to be cancer. If so, this is his third cancer, in addition to having had open heart surgery not so long ago.

You know how we keep hearing that sex ed is really health education, right? They say that Planned Parenthood is about educating young people about their bodies because those mean Christians would keep them in the dark.

No, not really. Actually, that’s a phrase that just conjures up old memories. When my nephew was first learning to talk, his dad decided that his first sentence would be “Football is my life.” I don’t know if it actually was or not (though I somewhat doubt it.) But the fact is, football is most […]
