Here are a few shots from Mom’s first (of two) memorial services. She died in April, having survived – and then thrived after – an accident which led to a double leg amputation six years prior. Half her ashes were buried at her mother Elizabeth Borden’s gravesite at Mt. Auburn […]
The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells My rating: 2 of 5 stars H.G. Wells’s classic tale is a minor one in the Western canon, and an outdated, reprehensible one at that. Upfront I should admit I have never seen much value in science fiction, even before I was […]

Is Atheism Dead? by Eric Metaxas My rating: 3 of 5 stars The question of the title Is Atheism Dead? is rhetorical. The answer to anyone with a modicum of common sense and awareness is affirmative. In fact, atheism was still-born from the start. It took the stage with twisted […]
Zeno (2005-2022) brought joy to many. That, I believe, was his purpose in life. He was a handsome Lab, a good specimen of the breed. Consequently, quite a few people wished to take his picture, including the Captain of Rodônia’s main highway rescue team and a vet in Las Vegas, […]
