Maybe.
I looked for my phone everywhere. Then, today, when I got home, I found it in the snow. I had driven over it.
It was still powered on, but it has been out in the snow (and now rain) for 24 hours, and it has been driven over, albeit by a car that weighs only about [...]

I lost my phone.
Somewhere in the snow between work and home, it dropped out of the holster, which I had clipped to the strap on my man-bag.
I’m not a phone whore. I don’t much care about the latest and greatest and which one was better. I just like it to be portable and reliable, which [...]

It’s a heavily snowy day. I left home at 5:00 AM (don’t freak, that’s only about 15 minutes earlier than usual) and didn’t arrive at work until nearly 7:00. Out in the Fraser Valley, the snow was cold snow (rather than the usual West Coast warm snow, which packs into glare ice at the touch [...]

I’ve been trying to decide whether I’m a moral relativist.
I think we’ve already established that I have pantheistic tendencies: I don’t believe in a monolithic God, he of the fire and brimstone and sacrifices. Such a God, one who fights with other religions, or who says that you must follow Him or be damned, makes [...]

Today’s Babe spends a lot of time with her clothes off, so she is Below The Break.
Entirely NSFW, as there is an exposed pudendum, the mere sight of which drives half of the population to frenzy.

My oldest daughter is being raised by a parent who is a fundamentalist Christian (Southern Baptist, as practiced in the North). We have had several extended conversations about science, and whether or not it is a religion.
Science is a method. A simple, straightforward method. Take what you know to be true and can prove, and [...]

Comfort foods are funny things. Mine are mostly dense and satisfying, the sort of meal to keep you warm on a cold winter’s night. I don’t generally seek comfort in food (in fact, I don’t often seek comfort at all) so these aren’t psychological helpers, they’re all purely physical. They make me physically feel better.

There seems to be this 7 thing (I won’t call it a meme, because it isn’t, it’s a sort of virus, or actually a cultural worm) floating around (now that I think about it, the whole virus-blog-earworm thing that went on in past years seems to have faded. There are fewer people doing ‘memes’ now. [...]

We aquired a mountain o’ vinyl this weekend. Chris’ great uncle Charlie died last November (it was not tragic, he was 93) and his son is trying to clear the house of seventy years accumulated stuff. We went over to get a lamp which we would find useful, and a jar of marbles. We came [...]

We had a somewhat mousy single female neighbor for a while. She was pleasant enough, but not the party-hearty sort.
Then, one night, in the summer, I was awakened by the sounds of female pleasure. Loud female pleasure. Oh, I thought, Michelle’s finally gotten lucky. Wow, who knew she was such a goer?
But it wasn’t Michelle. [...]
