In response to my post, The War On Science, a new reader, Jenn, made this humorous (unless you think it is sad) comment:
What more do you expect from an administration where the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works committee (James Inhofe) is encouraging the public to read Michael Crighton’s novel “State of Fear” [...]
When we stopped going to church, libraries and bookstores became a favorite destination for our family. We go a lot, and I love that my children consider a visit to a repository of books a desirable adventure.
This time an appearance from Strawberry Shortcake called us to a locally owned bookstore we’d never [...]
The Biblical Creation Story is so much simpler to explain to a child than the story of Evolution. The Biblical Creation Story is also much easier to find in books! Have you tried to find a children’s book on Evolution? It’s not an easy task.

I hope everybody had their best Christmas so far. Ours keep getting better. And this year I didn’t get food poisoning from my own leftovers, like last year!
One of my favorite holiday traditions is our Pre-Christmas evening with our best friends, Tami and Larry Keim. (Yes, you know Larry. [...]
When I was about 8 years old on a family campout I made a new friend. I envied her name, Kareena, and her forties-era look, which was like an eight-year-old Lois Lane.
