I finally took some initiative and submitted an entry to the Carnival Of The Godless! What finally motivated me to get it done? The great founder of COTG, Brent Rasmussen of Unscrewing the Inscrutible (Brent, what do you call yourself in relation to COTG? Probably not the founder?) commented on one of my recent posts [...]

I realized I needed to get this post up when I saw that Gregg 100 is already commenting on it. Hifi has also responded back to him, but they’re having to do it in the previous blog entry.

Darwin Day is coming! Have you heard of it? Darwin’s birthday is this coming Sunday, and there is a movement to make it a recognized holiday. Darwin Day (go ahead and get the giggles out of your system now. Israel and I have been giggling the last two evenings) is a holiday just for us, [...]

ED and Ron! Wow, was that a load of ideas you gave us! Ed Darrell made a huge list of his heroes. Ron left some links that he said has some great tips. I’m excited to go check them out. It’s time I get organized. I’m going to print the lists and refer to them [...]

Raise a glass to AgnosticMom. I have been asked to write a monthly column for the Humanist News Network, a weekly e-zine! HNN is part of the Institute for Humanist Studies. The Executive Director found my blog and saw a need for a column on humanist parenting. He contacted me last Friday and asked if [...]
