I, frankly, have no idea
I, frankly, have no idea what to say about the Catholic Church and the priests that have been in the news lately. It’s all so sad and tragic that I can barely follow it at all.
Interesting that, after falling behind the last few days on my blog reading, I would both find a new blog by a male survivor, and see that Marj is going to be giving up regular blogging. I’ll miss reading Marj, and I can’t say enough about the work she did starting and carrying on the…
Crossposted to Mikemac on Sports. I was listening to a recent BS Report, a podcast about sports on Grantland, in which Bill Simmons had Mike Tyson and Jalen Rose on, and got Mike talking about some of the issues and demons that he has had to deal with throughout his life. It was an interesting…

Simply put, it is never acceptable for…
Pin One of my pet peeves, among many, are articles written as though fixing everything about life is as simple as getting outside more, or eating this one thing, or stating that a study shows something that really, maybe it doesn’t.
